Lol fuck didn't make the second one because I didn't know how to spell Kazakhstan. It wasn't really harder than the first one though. Israel took me a couple of trials though. | ||

ittle Germany, nationalistic, racist, yodeling, lederhosen Let me disect this. -) little Germany: We are not more little Germany than Canada is "little U.S." or Switzerland is "little Germany". -) nationalistic: This one bugs me the most, because everyone and his mother is looking at Germany and Austria for nationalistic tendencies. At the moment, S.Korea is more nationalistic than we were the past 60 years. There is literally no real concept what an "Austrian" is or what it really means to be an "Austrian" other than having an Austrian passport. -) racist: Yes, of course. Not as racist as some other regions, but i do think it applies. -) yodeling: Apart from the fact that yodeling is almost extinct, the Swiss and the Bavarians did yodeling too. Austria in contrast to Switzerland, at least has some flat land (you know ... the places where Linz and Vienna are?). So why the fuck are we known for yodeling? -) lederhosen: Same applies as for yodeling. Some stereotypes that should apply by somehow no one knows: Positive: -) Austrians are actually really damn great in Physics. Compared to our relatively tiny population and our contribution to the program we staff about 5 times above average at the LHC. Not to mention the research in quantum optics in Vienna and Innsbruck that is beyond ready to get a Nobel Price for at least one of the people involved. -) Austrians DOMINATE European football. Our both biggest teams won the eurobowl combined 5 times ... since 2000 -) We have immigrant percentages of 30% to 50% (!) percent in Vienna and had no civil unrest for the last ... did we have some since the 2nd WW? -) We have REALLY cheap mobile plans. You can get unlimited mobile internet, including 2000 minutes/texts free for as little as 20€. Especially Germans really envy us about that. -) Vienna has the best public transportation system of the world. Not only do you pay only 1.70€ per ride (regardless how far you are traveling as long as you stay within Vienna) but intervals are usually 3-7 minutes throughout the day not only for subways but also for trams and buses. It rarely takes more than 45 minutes to get from one place to another in Vienna. -) Vienna was in the top 5 of the most liveable cities for as long as i remember. It even won last year. -) We still have the best skiing team in the world (although a little fading the past years). Negative: -) Conservative to the bone. Event hough our socialist party was in government 80% of the past 40 years, there is no real movement. -) Rural population is VERY racist without even knowing it. -) Maintaining a relatively large soccer league and not being able to compete in soccer in the past 40 years. -) TV is a joke here ... don't get me started -) Pretty high taxes (i don't really mind though) There surely are many more for both categories, but i don't care digging any up. /e: I dare you to confuse nationalism and racism. Don't make me rage ... | ||

I did alright on the first one, I just mixed up the final 3... Norway was switched with Finland and Columbia /= Colombia. interesting that a fellow canadian made the same mistakes as me. It's because we have a province called 'british columbia' IMO. | ||
