I'm not sure if I worded that right, but I want to know about all thos stereotypes other countries create about other countries, and know if they are true or not.

 

eg. Do Swedish people climb mountains and yodel for fun?

Are all English people obsessed with the word bollocks?

Are all Irish people drunken leprechauns?

Does every mexican person eat tacos and where ponchos?

Do New Zealanders really......no I won't go there.

 

 

And yes, I am going to admit it, my favourite kind of transport to and from school is a kangaroo, they're just so damn comfy.

 

 

OK, so ask your questions, or answer mine and broaden your horizons. :smug:

sorry to disappoint people, but i have never had any form of sexual relations with a sheep or sheep-related creature.
