Cultural Awareness

I like to learn new things about different cultures than mine. Mine, for example, revolves around homosexuality and heroin (yay Netherlands), so you can see why I like to branch out a bit.

For example, I knew of the East Asian history of body modification - foot binding, tying boards to children's head's to make a nice, flat skull - and thought it was a beautiful expression of culture-over-genetics. I never knew, however, that this practice extended to kittens. It's a truly moving experience to learn new things!

Plus, it's fucking hilarious...
