Cultural reasons-borrowing names for being chic, whatever

[shootingstar]

Aiiiyah --yes of course Louisiana is a state. My amnesia! It's a modern art gallery in Copenhagen. Not sure if I have time to go to it. I want to see the older stuff in Denmark and can get contemporary art elsewhere.

But I see Danish culture as....a restrained culture. (even though contemporary Danish culture seems liberal, etc.) It appears not to have the energetic warmth, joi de vivre compared to the Latino-based countries, to Italy, even France. So Louisiana concept appears just so exotic and spicy against that Danish cultural history. I probably have a ton to learn here with my own preconceptions.

(I hope any Danish person is not offended. For instance, I do see some cultural correlations between Germans and Chinese --hyper, technically focused, tendency to be hard driven, etc. And I say this after working with German professionals and for a German company for several years. Dearie doesn't disagree with me. )

Had no idea about Hagen-Daas --its lack of coherent semantic history. I agree, lph something that appears exotic in one culture as a "marketing" ploy vs. somewhere else where the concept is just ho-hum, part of the culture/history.

Really, cc, Canadian city names in Aussieland and kiwiland? What are the examples?

Guess, some of this is no different than some people sporting a Chinese ideogram tattoo but not know what it means. But it looks 'other world' or cool.
