    Basically a thread to uphold, disprove, or make new stereotypes about the places you've been to around the world.

    Now, being an asshole american, I haven't left the country, because pffft, who the fuck cares about those other colors on the map right? But I have been up and down the east coast and I can say this:

    1. New York City, most people are really nice, and well being the fact it's new York City, how fuckin awesome is it to be in a place where you can hear people talking in 30 languages at once just on your subway car. It's a jungle, but with endless games to play.

    2. The South - People from Europe always say how oddly friendly americans seem to be here in their general day to day with each other(all that how are you doing, have a nice day, smiling to people you don't know, and apparently we're a very touchy nation, but anyways)
    People in the south really are ridiculously friendly and touchy, I mean it's not bad, but damn, the amount of people just like waiting around you and just start having a whole conversation about nothing with you until one of you have to go and then it's "have a nice day guy I never met"

    Also, there are ALOT of fat people in the south, like good god. But considering the south is almost all urban sprawl with no public transport and 95 degree summers, I guess I wouldn't move much if I lived there either.

    3. Washington D.C. - Ah yes, the capitol of the United States of America. If you've ever been here to the actual city past all the pretty landmarks, you'd understand why most tourists don't come here. Sorry to anyone that lives there, but D.C. is a shithole, nothing against the people, but damn is it just one giant ghetto. I guess it's a metaphor for the country as a whole maybe.

    Most people from Raleigh are extremely Narcissistic.

    Virginia is not for lovers.

    Paris - So many dicks (as in pricks) it's sometimes very hard to enjoy. I hear it's 'cause the Parisians are tired of the tourists...

    New Jersey - Although I didn't visit much.. I liked what I saw.. great atmosphere.. people were very nice.

    Barbados - nicest people ever!! Very friendly and always willing to lend a hand. And everything looks great 'cause you're in the Caribbeans.

    The Irish love their drink almost as much as the steriotypes say. I spent 3 months in a village that couldn't support a McDonald's here but it had 2 very busy pubs. It's a very Catholic nation but the village only needed 1 church to fit everyone.

    Mexicans fart their songs.

    Spanish women do not shower, that's why they are so beautiful

    German people love terrible music. Exhibit a: Hasselhoff. Exhibit b: For the short time I was in germany the only music BLASTING in the airport was "IT'S THE FINNNAAL COUNTDOWN!!!! Do do doo do! Do do dododo!" I do love that song, but it felt really fitting in Germany.

    People from Massachusetts are the greatest love makers on the planet, and statistics have shown that Massachusetts-ites have 33 percent MORE super powers than the average American.

    I found costa rica to be the exact opposite. I stayed in the church in a small village in southern costa rica; Nicoya. I found every single person I encountered to be an amazing person and willing to go out of their way to help me in any way and were as friendly as can be. Even people that were not members of the church. I would go back to costa rica in less than a heart beat.



    PS. The south is an amazing place to live.

    That's part of the beauty of Germany. Half of it is 20 years in the future; cutting edge music, fashion, technology, cities, attitudes etc. The other half is stuck 20 years in the past, all mullets and shellsuits, bad synth pop and cheap processed meats (and an inexplicable love for 'the beach', to the point where in the centre of cities they'll dump a load of sand trying to recreate the beach environ).. Germany's great. German girls have this very sweet thing going on where I find they all sound very innocent when speaking english, ist die gut Scheiße.

    The Dutch are very frank and open and don't beat around the bush, always tell it how it is, painfully so sometimes... They're much more conservative than people think too but have progressive politics and common sense laws... They are a bit odd though not in a bad way.. Dutchie girls are nuts as well, they can party hardcore, het lekker kak! They also seem to enjoy 'the beach'.

    The Polish are good fun, most Polish girls can drink me under the table with neat vodka.. They come across as aggressive sometimes when they're just being blunt, you have to learn not to take it personally. The food is pretty shit. In fact, loads of Eastern Europeans can seem agressive when being friendly and the food's shit in most of E. Europe...

    French girls are good at fucking with your head. And generally good at fucking. And the french are good at striking/rioting, top marks.

    Indians are very friendly and interested in everything, crazy religious but could be one of 1000 religions. Have a great sense of humour, very dry and scathing, quite like the British- maybe a hangover from colonialism?

    Americans are quite big hearted and often well meaning though this can come across as superficial, like they're trying too hard to be nice. It's funny when americans accuse europeans of being arrogant. Odd popular culture. Quite keen on firearms. Loads of nutters.

    Canadians feel the need to plaster themselves in Canadian flags when in Europe so people don't mistake them for americans.

    The British do indeed need to drink a cup of tea every hour or so. Putting the kettle on is a therapeutic ritual, those two minutes of clearheadedness. Self deprecating and constantly critical of everything about the country. Can't run trains on time. Uptight and beaureacratic. Complain if it rains, complain if it's sunny, can't really win.


    Ok I'll stop now.

    That is about the truth man.

    It is the diet in the south that has caused the higher ratio of obese people. Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes, collards, biscuits, sweet tea, we live off that stuff!!
