Really? Maybe it was a national holiday

Australians were really, really touchy
People meme about Americans being loud and touchy but we have nothing on Australians
Freaky fucks, I never want to go back. It felt like I was in some fever dream. Random guys wearing a wife-beater and sport shorts would introduce themselves with a hug.

And that's when your sister figured out you were autistic.

>Sweden
>Stockholm is as multicultural as NYC
>still safe to walk around after dark

>Finland
>every holiday
>flags everywhere

>Estonia
>there's more Finnish spoken in Tallin than Estonian

>Netherlands
>Dutch pretend they can all speak English well
>they actually sound like shit with their fake American accents

>Germany
>the meme about Anglos (UK/AUS/NZ/USA) working in all the restaurants, cafes and bars is true

British and Irish people overfeed their pets to an unhealth degree and spoil them
"Irish are drunks" isn't that much of an exxageration
American stereotypes are shockingly true
American education is more lax than any European or South American country

>not knowing all the flags of the world since your childhood, before knowing /int/
Jeez, these amateurs shouldn't be allowed to post on /int/.

Portuguese are white not brown. 88 666

Everything suddenly makes a lot more sense.

it's so fucking awkward when you meet someone for the first time in anglo country, or when you leave someone that you just spent some time with, like they just stand still and wave their hand and say "byyye"

this is a very american thing to do btw

It's like that in Israel year round. I think they put up a ton for independence day, then leave them up until they get destroyed by the sun. The country is already full of tattered, white flags.

And the worst part about it is what an awfully tacky shade of blue they chose. I wonder how long it took to decide on that color. S m h.

europoors smoke a lot

I became a passive smoker just walking through the streets Vienna, and Prague.

UK: It seems like half the population vapes. I even saw "no vaping" included on some no smoking signs.

UK (London, especially): Bookmakers and dry cleaners on every block.
