Sharing a Cultural Connection

Living someplace different changes our perspective of life.  Part of maintaining the "sense of connection" to each other is including others in our cultural connection.  This page has information regarding Lajes, Azores.  I hope it will provide ideas for people in other places to share their cultural experiences together.  Even in the U.S. there are regional differences in our food and hobbies.  

 

For Lajes, I wanted to share video links to help create a cultural connection and a balanced perspective between “topical island retreat” and “remote feelings of isolation”.    I wish I could find a way to share information about the warmth and kindness of the Azorean people.  It has been a priveledge to live here!

 

The website is still a work in progress, so please be patient while we develop videos to share with you.

 

• Video of the Wind Storm and inclement weather.  

• Portuguese customs and phrases.  Very late event start times.

• Alcatra, Our Island's special flavor recipe.

• School Report for kids, suitable to take to school and share with their classmates

• Shopping Tour:  the Wood Guy, the Basket Guy, and the Pottery Guy; challenges of shopping in the Azores without an address, street name or business sign.  

• Island Tour, Terciera Island, Azores

 

There are more videos available on youtube or at www.lajestv.com
