Default Re: Is it right?

Hello Winston,

"I came to know" has a literary quality, and is unlikely to fit your context. "I have heard that..." might be possible, though.

What did you intend to convey by "a good culture", out of interest? (I'm not certain it's the right phrase here.)

All the best,

MrP
