Countries and your associations in 5 words/descriptions.

Yes, Hitler did not wish to serve with Slavs in the Austrian military so he left for Germany to fight in World War 1.

Norway:Everything made of wood,expensive,mountains near the beach,arctic
Sweden:Arabs with oasis of swedish experimental girls hot blondes in the desert

It is an interesting point. I wonder how he felt back then surrounded by Czechs, Polish, Slovaks, Slovenians, Ukrainians and what not. Probably, lonely and abandoned. Really sad ;)


Quite unique observations you've got, southie :)

And you're a dumb Kike who obviously knows nothing of Poland

I believe that he's trying to be his usual racist self (and succeeding) and being amusingly sarcastic (and failing, but then Bobby is very used to being a failure). But of course, I don't pretend to have been to an Ivy League college.

I love how Torq and Robert jumped to anti-semitism first for poor ol' Poland.... damn if only Jews could have been treated with respect, compassion, and love like in the neighboring countries of Poland.... I guess they have a point... bleh.


?????

He knew nothing of Belarus and only regarded it as: "Ruskies"

I guess irony is lost on some people.


Check where Nowogródek is, and read this post...

Lithuanian ambassador ‘Poles not loyal citizens’

...it may help :-)

Also, note that the post you quoted from was obviously written in a jokingly manner.

*rolling eyes*

*keeps the eyes from falling out; doesn't want Torq to lose sight which might prevent the PF from getting a dose of spice now and then* :)

Pile of stone? I guess you've never been there.
Here's 5 words: "Land of milk and honey".

Negative associations from a historical point of view:

The French - cowards and Nazi collaborators.
The British - inventors of concentration camps.
Germans - inventors of death camps with gas chambers.
Americans - slave owners.
Russians - slaves of tsars and communist appartachiks.
Ukrainians - butchers from UPA and OUN.
Austrians - best Hitler`s allies.
Hungarians - estranged barbarians in Europe.
Poles: unruly anarchists, unable to run their country.

America: BIG, Fabulous people, fabulous place, pity about the politics.

Scotland: mountains, foggy rainy weather, hot drinks and laughter beside the fireplace.

Norway: bloody expensive, looks like the end of the world: thoroughly breathtaking scenery, over educated introverted people, mystical.

Poland: Extreme weather (which makes it feel like I move country every season but get to keep the house :D), patch fields, forests, interesting to see the changes occurring before my eyes.

Ireland: Magical, mystical and barstool farts, green, I miss the ocean and pubs sometimes.

The Netherlands: Mentally the most evolved in Europe, open and straight forward people, a real eye opening place.

Lithuania: A dark dismal depressing flat place, where devolution has been happening for so long I think they will all become ameba soon. Nice place for a couple of weeks whirlwind tour, so long as you don't get to know the locals. (I am just back)

Ecuador: fabulous capital city, amazing very chilled small fishing towns on the beaches, mountains, jungle and friendly people.

South Africa: probably my favourite landscape with the accompanying flora and fauna, complete disproportionate distribution of wealth, weird people some great, some not so great.

Thailand: smiley people, friendliest capital I have been to, saving face and katoey are strange but normal in the environment, very touristy.

Cambodia: not so smiley or touristy, I preferred it to Thailand for those reasons, the craziest drivers I have ever encountered, Khmer rouge: what a waste of life.

Nepal: The snow capped mountains look like ice castles flouting on clouds the way they jut out of them, Hindu temples, swastikas, funny political party names (vote tree, vote sun) with no such funny objectives.

I had better stop, I could go on all day...

Edit* I seem to have wondered off the 5 word rule... that's just not the way my mind works, I tried to keep it as short as possible :)

Tell me more about your dip into the primordial soup; I want all the dirty details...like for example how are the Lithuanian katoeys?

I used to live there for a few years... In fairness, the devolution thing is from the Soviet occupation, anyone who thought for themsleves was sent to Siberia basically to die, so the leaders were taken away leaving less (looking for a good word but 'less' seems to fit:).

I had dead bodies piled up on land (skeletons), a gun pulled on me for a cigarette, minus 32 centigrade (-26 Fahrenheit) and crap snowboarding, bureaucracy that would make cutting yourself seem enjoyable, so yeah had a great time and katoeys would be shot on sight, in fact anyone expressing the slightest bit of individuality ''must leave now'' type attitude.

And I see people were talking about antisemitism, well apart from the internet, I have never come across it except in Lithuania where out of the blue some people will go on about some greedy Jew (as if anyone gave a hoot).

It was a stupid rule, SeanBM. It is interesting to read your more expanded observations. Have you seen all those countries or it is just what you think they are like?

Ukraine:Trims and ruins and a blonde slavic chick runs into a cafe
Polska:Dark houses with lights and heart,some grotesque element then you hear the voice of Polaci
CR:Mysterious homes,eccentric people,talking loud like Germans but looking old like from fairy tales
Germany:Sb with heavy boots comes after you laughing loud.You get off the way and he passes without cutting off any speed
Hungary:While you admire the central avenue a chick appears wth classic hungarian face,piercings in navel connected with chains to somewhere under her blouse and under her trousers.When you think about it there is lack of slavic chick you have to go north to Slovakia where

the classic slavic faced blondynka with the huge fruits gets out of the supermarket with fruits again in her lap.She moves her ass so good you think am I dreaming? is this not Ukraina?

It was a starting point.


I have seen all of them and quite a few more but not enough :)

I would like to take a look around before I die (which will hopefully be a long time from now:)

There are many countries and even more different aspects of each country, take Poland, high mountains, forest, desert, sea, metres of snow, monsoon-like rains and blistering hot.

I am planning my next big trip after I finish a big project, I am really looking forward to going :)

All the best, SeanBM. I have to start drawing my bucketlist as well: so much to see and the life is indeed so short.


In Poland? I didn't know that. I saw the Baltic dunes, which look a bit desert-like.

The only true desert in Europe, near Będzin and caused by excessive tree-felling centuries ago. It looks like a desert too, though it's slowly starting to undesertify (is that a word?) and the government are considering steps to preserve it.

It's probably not worth a special visit, but the main road goes quite near, and it's interesting to see.

Thats why the German Afrika korps D.A.K , did their training there before being shipped to the north African desert...

That's really interesting! But why the government is interested in keeping the desert? For those military purposes or there are some unique fauna populates the area?

Probably they learned there is oil underneath.

Because it's a unique ecosystem.

When I see polish camels in the desert I will start drinking Kwas.

I see. Absolutely, it should be preserved.


And the trees will suck it up. But then you can cut up the trees, soak them and extract the oil. Would it be much easier than drilling a hole? ;)


You always boast of seeing Polish cameltoes, so what keeps you from drinking kwas? ;)

It's really worth seeing - and the main road goes right past. There's a very nice (and cheap) restaurant on that road.

My next trip to Poland I will absolutely check it out. Thanks a lot, JonnyM.
