From an Austrian...
"If you have wine with dinner, it is a party. If you add a toast, then you have culture."
From an African...
"In Africa, when many people want to speak and time is limited, we make each speaker stand on one leg while he is talking. If his other leg touches the ground, his time is up. This makes are meetings run very quickly!"

I also booked my flight etc. for Tour For Kids Alberta. I'm really looking forward to this event as the Rocky Mountains were a bit of a blur during the National Ride. This trip will be a bit more leisurely. Of course, if you would care to make a contribution, it would be sincerely appreciated.
