It seems too late to get to know about the other countries in Europe and the rest of the world because they've all grown up and married. You'd have had to have been smart and gone online and posted there around year 2000 or the late 1990s. Maybe, you'd become accomplished plus famous somehow / as a celebrity of some sort.
I'm also relearning values, normal manners, etc., from the English takeover that made us all too close and carefree in bad ways.
