You actually belong in the Wild, Wild West! Strap on your cowboy boots or couture saloon outfit and hop in the saddle, because you don’t belong in 2014. You belong with the rattlesnakes and tumbleweeds. Sure, there won’t be Wi-Fi — but you’ll get over

You’re all about a posh lifestyle and the finer things in life, because you know REAL culture doesn’t involve Facebook and Twitter. You like to keep things classy and comfortable, and a shift to the Old World a few decades back would suit you well.

What Period In History Do You Actually Belong In?

You actually belong in Bohemian Paris! You’re creative and a hopeless romantic. Passion and company with your friends are more important to you than the latest smartphone. You wouldn’t just survive with the creative minds in turn-of-the-century Paris — You would THRIVE.

You really belong in Renaissance Italy! You’re ambitious, creative, and a trendsetter who looks to the past to build toward the future. Michelangelo and da Vinci better watch out, because you are more than capable of giving them a run for their money!

I don't like what shampoo does to my hair but I use it. If I shampoo more than every other day my hair gets all big and frizzy.

What Period In History Do You Actually Belong In?

You hit 47 out of 72 on the History List!


You totally belong in Medieval Europe! You’re rough, you’re tough, and you’re a straight-up badass. You could be a knight or royalty, because you are cut out to make your mark in the Middle Ages. Yeah, you might miss a hot shower every now and then, but with your confident attitude, you’ll do more than fine. Now put on your suit of armor and get ready to go!

You totally belong in Revolutionary France! That’s because you’re hip, brash, and a bit of a revolutionary. Freedom and expression are what matter to you, not having the coolest car or the biggest house. You’re a go-getter and would shine in the turmoil of Paris. Just watch out for the guillotines!

Hmm, I don't remember being asked if I liked chewing leaves when I walked a long distance...or being mummified as a sacrifice to a sky god.

You really belong in the Incan Empire! You’re eccentric but motivated. You want to reach the top, but on your terms. You should be running the show and then some. You’ve got the style and personality to do it in the glitz and glamor of Central America

between families, factions and land owners. It was an especially bloody time in Japan.. eventually the Shogun was established under the Emperor and what would become Tokoyo, was called Edo, a place the Shogun would call home. Samurai were still about but many of them were encouraged to pursue the arts, painting, writing poetry, writing plays, playing music, and still practicing the arts of war by teaching Kenjitsu, Kendo and Sumo. It was the time of the Geisha and eventually visitors came to Japan around that time. The Portuguese followed eventually by the English, the French and Americans.

"You actually belong in Bohemian Paris! You’re creative and a hopeless romantic. Passion and company with your friends are more important to you than the latest smartphone. You wouldn’t just survive with the creative minds in turn-of-the-century Paris — You would THRIVE."

Surprisingly accurate, for once. I was just down there yesterday, and although the Bohemian era is gone, and all the gripes about the government I share with most Parisians, I have a LOT of friends there, and do feel pretty much at ease there.
