Knowledge as a term can mean many things however no all knowledge can be expressed so places like madeira which is vary traditional and cultural place meaning that culture of there ancestors is really the main part of there lives which compared to the modern society can seem very different as modern society is so varied compared to madeira as no many tourist are attracted to living in madeira. In such cases it is hard for some knowledge to be available to all cultures as in madeira the only real way to be one with the culture is to be or have a long history in madeira and this is what makes the Madeiran tradition so special and heavily protected.

My personal experiences have been interesting as I have many friends from Madeira and my mother is from madeira but I still haven’t got to grip with the culture as all my life and even now I have learnt the Portuguese culture which is different to the Madeiran culture and quite substantially. Through my life the story’s I have been told have been really informative as I though I had learnt a lot until more recently where I have found such substantial differences to what I believed. This year however I want to offset the stuff I don’t now when I travel to madeira at Christmas which I think is the perfect time to go as its where culture is expressed most and also religion which is different to jersey and Portugal but plays a massive pat in there culture.
