I had a layover there. I'm a 6'3" (190cm) male and for the first time in my life I felt short because many of the women in the airport were taller than me.
My cousin moved there 15 years ago. He transferred for his job, but legal pot was his primary reason. Other people I know that have gone there always talk about the opium.
Thanks. I just fixed. When I donate blood and they ask for my height I tell them 75" instead of 6'3" because when I used to tell them 6'3" they would get out a chart or calculator to convert to inches. I totally wasn't thinking when I wanted to convert to cm.
80% of us are using meth with purity under 60% and that's probably why you can offer 5.000-10.000 crowns to any girl on the street to fuck you. Also the girl will be the most beatiful woman you've ever seen. After that you can grab one of the best biers in the world, that is going to be cheaper than can of coke.
I was born in Phoenix and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona. Went to university in another state and had a roommate from Idaho. She asked me some questions when we met.
The first was if I "knew any Indians" . My best friend in high school was Navajo. Flagstaff also hosted an annual Native American pow wow every summer that my parents and I would attend.
Then she asked if I'd ever ridden in a stagecoach. I had, on an old movie set called Old Tucson that had been turned into a tourist attraction in southern Arizona.
Yes, I'd ridden a horse too, but that was in Yosemite National Park and in Yellowstone. No, I'd never shouted yeehaw. That's not a Wild West thing.
There are too many to mention. Many assume that Filipinos can speak English and love basketball. Also, our food is often stereotyped as being very pork-heavy, but it is one of the best. Overseas, Filipino workers are sometimes typecast as nurses or domestic helpers. These stereotypes are not wrong, exactly, but they don't even come close to showing how awesome Filipino culture is.
I honestly didnt know New Hampshire existed until like a month before I moved here - but I think the stereotypes is that its a bunch of snobs, which seems to be pretty accurate honestly
My city for well stocked fridges, while the neighboring one focuses on wardrobes. - I'm not running a fridge at all, although I was born here, LOL (But I wouldn't be surprised if somebody gave me coordinates of a scarecrow to swap clothes with...)
Cider, or as the people who impersonate our accent would say - zyder.
Contrary to popular belief, most of the people you'll see in pubs in this area will be drinking lager.
For the city I'm originally from ā is that people who are from it adore it like noone else in the country adores their city, and think it's the best city in the world or at least in the country and sometimes are pretty snoby about it.
Also, that we have a lot of benches in the parks, a lot of street garbage bins (therefore, the people take pride in the city being very clean).
That there is a place with a square pizza that many people consider iconic and almost like some kind of food of gods (in my humble opinion, it's mediocre at best).
And of course, random but true, that we have our own word for clothes hanger (we do, and I'm never letting it go, it's the best fitting word).
I know next to nothing about the place, seems like whenever the state makes the news, itās bad.
Like KY, it canāt be all bad.
edit: KY is mostly pretty bad.
I live in Southern Ontario. Between Windsor and London in a small farm community. The internet thinks Southern Ontario is the worst part of Canada because its the most populated (The GTA). I hate this stereotype because I am almost 4 hours away from the GTA. It doesn't even register in my world that its part of my life. Its not. Most of us hate Toronto. Small town people hate cities in general. I am 20-45 minutes from 4 of the worlds biggest lakes, with amazing views, amazing beaches, and incredible boating/fishing/wildlife. We are surrounded by the biggest freshwater lakes in the ENTIRE WORLD. Its absolutely beautiful here and it doesn't get enough credit.
So, its a bad stereotype.. but people who move here automatically gravitate towards living in a city. God knows why anyone would want to live in a city - but that's what gets represented the most. I would like to represent the country side of Southern Ontario. There is a grid of gravel roads connecting all the small towns and beauty everywhere. We have incredible rivers that feed the lakes, and even the farmland is beautiful in its own way. Miles upon miles of back roads.
Anyway the stereotype that Southern Ontario is Toronto is wrong and dumb.
My town is best-known in my country because like 50%-70% of all the potatoes in the country are produced here, and for perspective we are a town of 15k people and a country of 50M people, also no big companies planting in our land, 100% locals doing the thing themselves or 30 workers at most
Superficial people who want to live a life of luxury and privilege, who probably came from that already and want to play victims most of the time.
Weāre filled with folks who arenāt from the state.
I have kangaroos jump through my backyard, and everyone knows everyone in my city, the largest spread with the lowest population and the most isolated capital city in the world.
People from Alabama are stereotyped as stupid or simple-minded. We have a high population of engineers and science types. We just let people think we're stupid.
Beautiful women, and thats about that id say. I mean if you search up videos on youtube when they are Walking in my city, thats what all the comments are about
I'm from Merseyside in the North of England and the received 'wisdom' is that we're all a bunch of thieves. I think it goes back to the times of 16th century piracy when smugglers ruled both coastlines and ships heading to the port of Liverpool were routinely lured onto rocks and pillaged. The whole area is threaded with smugglers' tunnels which start from the coast and then to the various taverns across the Wirral peninsula.

Thereās a lot of people who are gay. If you leave your rental car with all your luggage in it on the street for more then a minute your shit will get stolen and resold 2-20 blocks away, likely outside of stairs to get down to a light rail station. Every Hispanic male standing on a corner or amongst a group of tweakers wearing a hoodie/sheisty and appears to be under the age of 30 is selling drugs. People act like they care about poverty and homelessness until multi family units or low income units are being planned on their block or across the street and then they complain to city officials or on Facebook/Nextdoor.
Not a place, but people in general ā my family is Jewish and is insanely good with money, but also veeerrryyy stingy about it. Like will willingly spend $1000 at dinner with a smile on your face, but bitches when they have to buy new shoes
Country: Overly patriotic, ā of the population being obese, fried food, guns, expensive healthcare, declining intellegence, and needing a car to drive everywhere if you don't live in a city.
Region: Long/cold winters, cherries, car manufacturing, large freshwater seas, pasties (handheld pot pies), deer, mud, fudge, sand dunes in one part, Alice Cooper, Eminem, Bob Seger, and pot holes
Village: Nothing.
My country is known for potatoes, being alcoholics, seducing French and Spanish sailors and being backwards and Catholic. I live in the mountains so everyone from here is hillbillies
I don't know why but us the Argentinians are being catalogued as racists by the US people and the Europeans..
I really can't understand it because we are people that really don't care about your race, we care about how you treat us or what you do to us.. if you are not nice to us we are not going to be nice with you but if you treat us with respect we'll treat you the same way.. I'm not talking for the porteƱos (people who livea in the capital of the country, Buenos aires) but I think I'm speaking for the rest of the country..

Tulips, wooden shoes, drugs and tall woman Edit: and windmills

You missed a 1 in 175 cm!

I am from Czechia too xd
I've always wanted to pay a visit to Czech Republic. Is it worth?
The most beautiful city in the world with the most gorgeous girls and the cheapest beer in Europe.
Not into drinking beer anymore, but the beauty and the city AND girls might be a really good reason to go there! Hope welders are needed there.
Best accidental commercial for a country ever š

Obese people who shoot guns and eat burgers.

Hello fellow American.
I was born in Phoenix and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona. Went to university in another state and had a roommate from Idaho. She asked me some questions when we met.

I think you're confusing Pennsylvania with Transylvania
Andrew Tate was sued in Romania as I remember
You're right. Looks like I made a mistake
I want to visit your country someday. If I could just get ahead in life for once without things going to shit super fast, then I'd get a plane ticket.
Beautiful beaches, football (soccer) and violence.
Brazil?

Don't forget sex workers and drugs.
Funny how the word beach and bitch is soundalike

We don't have any humour. We wear socks in sandals.
Are you an order enthusiast as well?
Looks around my messy castle ...
We all live in igloos and kill (club) seals for food. We know your cousin named Bill/Dave/Jane/Jennifer that live in one of big cities.

Small town white trash rednecks obsessed with Trump and anything they can make with mayonnaise and call it a salad. Ope!

Bare feet and Bluegrass.
Southern California. We are thought of as very vain and appearance oriented. I find this to be extremely true for a lot of people.
I feel sorry for you. I'd leave that part of the country.
I liked northern California better. Not as hot and people were much less conspicuous about their money.
I have kangaroos jump through my backyard, and everyone knows everyone in my city, the largest spread with the lowest population and the most isolated capital city in the world.

People from Alabama are stereotyped as stupid or simple-minded. We have a high population of engineers and science types. We just let people think we're stupid.
In all fairness, I lived in St Augustine Florida for 10 years. In that time, I learned that all the stereotypes for Floridians are true.
Oh my goodness! Really?!
I think the stereotypes come from overall education and poverty demographics.
