British Culture vs

Moldovan Сulture
British culture is influenced by the combined
nations' history; its historically Christian
religious life, its interaction with the cultures
of Europe, the traditions of England, Wales,
Scotland and Ireland, and the impact of the
British Empire.

The culture of the Republic of

Moldova represents a large gamut of cultural
activities: literature, theatre, music, fine arts,
architecture, cinematography, broadcasting and
television, photographic art, design, circus, folk
art, archives and libraries, books editing,
scientific research, cultural tourism and so on.
Humour and understatement

Humour is the cornerstone of the British

society. It is used in numerous ways: to
establish a positive atmosphere, to create a
sense of togetherness, to bridge differences,
to introduce risky ideas, to criticise, to show
appreciation or contempt of a person. British
people joke about everything including the
queen, politicians, religion, themselves and
you! You'd better get used to that. Humour is
often combined with understatement.
 The arts of England
Literature
In its literature, England has attained its most influential cultural expression. For more than a
millennium, each stage in the development of the English language has produced its
masterworks.

The plays of William Shakespeare, while on their

surface representing the culmination of
Elizabethan English, achieve a depth of
characterization and richness of invention that
have fixed them in the dramatic repertoire of
virtually every language
The publication of the King James Version of
the Bible in 1611 infused the literature of the
period with both religious imagery and a
remarkably vigorous language, and it served as
an important instrument for the spread of
literacy throughout England.

Freemasons have long been regarded as a secretive

men-only society with arcane rituals, but Scottish
lodges have broken with centuries of tradition to open
their doors to the BBC.
British traditional food is full breakfast, Fish and
Chips, the Sunday Roast, Steak, Kidney Pie,
Shepherds Pie, Bangers, and Mash. ... Each place
has come up with regional dishes like fish and chips,
Yorkshire pudding, Cumberland sausage, Arbroath
Smokie, and Welsh Cakes.
 3) Things you should know about UK culture
1) Brits love to apologise

2) Talking about the weather is a national sport

3) Brits love to drink tea

Whilst coffee is a popular hot drink in the UK,
in our hearts we are a tea drinking nation and
we down a whopping 36 billion cups of tea
every year. So don’t be surprised if you are
endlessly offered a “cuppa.”

Tea drinking is as much about having a break

or a good old “natter” as it is about enjoying
the drink – it’s the perfect way of making
friends and finding out the latest gossip.
1. Wine country and underground wine
cellars.
Moldova's secular traditions have always
been accompanied by the culture of
producing selected wines. Wine businesses
use the most advanced modern technology
to prepare this product. Due to this fact, the
wine production of the Republic of Moldova
is in demand in over 50 countries of the
world.
The Republic of Moldova is known in the
world thanks to the famous underground
cellars from Cricova and Mileștii Mici.
Medieval jewellery

The medieval fortresses of Moldova played an important role in the history of the
country. Fortresses were also used in the many wars that took place on the territory
of Moldova, only two fortresses belong to the Republic of Moldova, which have
been preserved in good condition and can be visited and appreciated by foreign
tourists, these being the fortresses of Soroca and Tighina.
Hospitality of the people.

For centuries Moldova has been characterized as a hospitable country. Moldovans

in rural areas will consider it an honour if you enter their homes. Guests are
usually invited to the "Casa Mare" - a traditional room where all family
celebrations are held, while being served with the most delicious and select dishes
prepared in the countryside by self-made and bio products.
Churches and monasteries with an
architectural and historical value for the
world.
Rich in monasteries and churches, Moldova was
called in the 19th century "Southern Tebaida".
The oldest monasteries are the ones from
Vărzăreşti, Căpriana, Rudi, Hârbovăţ, Hârjauca,
Curchi. The Moldovan cave monasteries also
have a special history in the development of the
civilization between the Carpathian Mountains
and the Black Sea, and present some of the oldest
architectural monuments from the 14th and 15th
centuries. Set up in different periods, deserted and
then reestablished, hermitages and monasteries
are of great interest to visitors. Some of them still
retain the vestiges previous to Christianity. The
most famous cave monasteries are: Ţîpova, Japca,
Butuceni, Saharna.
