People have so many misconceptions about various countries. What everyone gets wrong about your country?
New and Popular
UK by the way.
Beans on ToastThat said, I loved the double clotted cream icecream, when visiting the UK, in particular. Your artisanal icecream are 😋😋😋
Actually it's a very unusual dish in France. Only ate twice in my life and it was only in Asian dishes, never in French cuisine.
(Actually, in some places the latter is real).
Also good, sunny weather. That's in Queensland. Melbourne has the dreariest weather ever (there's been a day where full sunshine turned into sudden thunderstorms in minutes, then back, then again, then back three times)
By the stereotypes (or the places. After all, this is a geography site!), you should be able to tell this is Australia.
Same with the bad teeth stereotype. In reality, dentists are just expensive
Only like 35% of the population here actually is.
(USA btw)
Europeans have a "big" problem with obesity too. They're on the same curve as the U.S., just 20 years behind.
I remember going to a restaurant in Paris for lunch the first day I arrived. They asked if you wanted dessert. If you did, they brought over this big bowl of trifle (or something similar). You could take as much as you want. Then it got passed to the next customer. As an American, this was extremely odd, and its very rare in France too I imagine.
In any case, the guy who got the bowl after us was morbidly obese. He was delighted with the bowl to say the least. And I thought French people don't get fat. Ce n'est pas vrai!
Among rich countries, Japan stands out for its low rate of obesity. But even there, it's 7.0% and growing.
They walk a lot everywhere, eat a lot of fresh produce and healthy food, and have a more balanced life in general. So I think most of them will stay fit.
we're just a little cranky trust
India has gorgeous Alpine deserts, some of the highest snow capped peaks in the world with the Himalayas and their foothills running across more than a dozen states and Union Territories, sandy deserts, tropical, deciduous and coniferous forests ( not just of the ‘Jungle Book’ variety), hot dusty villages and towns, coniferous forests, pretty beaches and islands, modern infrastructure as well as iffy infrastructure, slums, palaces. It’s all India.
That we aren't well traveled.
- Firstly, we just so happen to live in a giant country that is almost as big as all of Europe.
- Secondly, Each state is pretty much a country.
Each state has, cultures, (people also think that we don't have culture. Just come to Texas :D) food, accents, geography, population etc
- Our country only borders two other huge countries and is close to a lot of really small island countries. Not to mention that it is separated from Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania by two giant oceans and South America is 2,000+ miles away.
- Not to mention flying is really expensive.
With all of this in mind, why do you think that we should be more traveled when
1) We can go to another state that is completely different from out in every way. 2) When getting to 90% of countries is impossible without going by expensive planes. 3) When everybody hates American tourists anyways.
