So what kind of extremes do the French go through to avoid talking about money?

Not sure I understand that one.

Edit: Mexicans sound pretty chill from that pic btw.

Yo boy about to get arrested in India in December

Wow they got Ireland quite right.
The round thing only applies if it's it's being done person by perosn, though. If some drunken British lad offers you a round in exchange for taking the Essex birds off his hands, you're not required to buy one back.

Also Ireland is in the top five countries for most diverse accents over the smallest land or something like that.I think it's a different accent per few miles.

Very interesting New Zeland cares a lot about the Queen.

This was a cool post and an interesting read TC, thanks for this. I learned quite a few things here, some were obvious to me.

I did know about the Kiwi/Aussie thing, and neither like being called what they aren't. I ran into this with an old friend that lived in NZ and I referred to him ignorantly as Australian and he got kind of offended over it and had to explain to me it's similar to calling a Puerto Rican or Colombian a Mexican or something similar along those lines.

when i was younger i always thought germans were kind of assholes and scary just because most of them have stern looks on their faces. but when you sit down and get to know them they are pretty friendly folk.

Don't do the Nazi salute.

It's literally illegal in Germany to support nazis, though. I think also to deny the holocaust.
