I’d like to know what people from all over the world think about foreign countries. What is the language spoken there? Where is the country? Famous people? Stereotypes?

With all you people from all over the world, I think this could be interesting. We get to know some things about different countries and cultures and can tell the world a little bit about our country.




So to get this thing started: .....what do you know about Austria?

The funny thing about being from Austria is that a lot of people - mainly from America ;-) -think Austria is Australia, and that we have kangaroos…well, this is so not true

I know I surfed a river in southern Austria in '95. fun times.

Everything I know about Finland was taught to me by the Dudesons

Stefany is currently on tv in a show called Farm where
famous ppl get to live on a farm. Supposedly, theres a romance or some fling going on between her and this other *famous* croatian, who won
a show similar to Croatian Idol.
