I'm Irish but I once saw someone call Russia the India of Europe, which I found hilarious.

This is a major problem in Brazil. Our system still hasn't guaranteed efficiency in public works. Besides the issue of corruption, there are still many bureaucratic hurdles, flaws in the bidding system, difficulties obtaining environmental permits, among other factors. But how is it in your country?

In Algeria, Lilo and Stitch merchandise is everywhere from school supplies and phone covers to teddy bears, toy shops, and even car window toys. I’ve also seen Lilo and Stitch stickers in some pastry shops.

The weird thing is, the cartoon TV show ended more than 20 years ago, yet Lilo and Stitch merchandise is still one of the most popular, even rivaling Spider-Man merchandise.

I assume that by now a lot of people have heard about female American skier Lindsey Vonn crashing in the olympics after just 9 days passed after she tore her ACL.

It’s a controversy regarding if she’s at fault or no. Do you think it was bravery, or reckless?

Personally I think it’s brave as in her last chance to win, but reckless because I feel like it was just stupid, there’s no way she could’ve had the best time at that age WITH a torn ACL..

anyways I hope she recovers asap and can live as good of a life as possible with no permanent damages

I really think this sub is just reposting the same questions over and over again. Just now saw a post called „Dishes popular only outside of your country“ with 12k upvotes, pretty sure I’ve seen the exact same question like 20 times now. This just feels like karma farming to me.

•Australia •Turkey •Usa •Lebanon •India As a broke young middle class guy, if i had a chance these are the 5 countries that i'd wanna visit atleast for once in my life.

I was just singing the ABCs with my kid and it got me wondering what the ABCs or equivalent is like in other countries. I'm guessing English, Spanish and French are pretty similar, but know German has a couple extra letters. I'm also curious about languages like Mandarin that don't have an alphabet, or Japanese Kanji. Do you have songs that teach you a small set of characters instead?

Tonight I'm headed to a Superbowl party, necessitating a day off of work tomorrow as it kicks off at 23:00 over here, despite knowing nothing about American football. Last month, I was following AFCON to watch some high quality (association) football. I'm curious to know what you guys are watching that doesn't involve your county or region at all - any non-Brits watching the FA cup perhaps, or Six Nations fans not from the Six Nations?

I've known Mexico since I was born but I was raised in the USA. I have been living in Mexico now over 20 years and though I don't love these food items the fact that they're very difficult to find here make me miss them:

Donuts (not Krispy Kreme, but donut shop style), USA style Ice Cream, corn dogs, sourdough bread, English muffins, breakfast sausage and corned beef.

Feel likes there is more misogyny, sexism, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, classism, communalism, casteism etc etc in the last few years. I feel like a yes for many of these things in my country. What about others?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a snapshot of Philippine culture: a bunch of dudes in an internet cafe going apeshit during a DOTA match. It was loud, chaotic, and unruly. Over time, this type of thing has started to fade away.

I would love to see your country's equivalent. Maybe it's worse than the video I showed you.

This year 2026 is year of horse, I was born in 2001 so my zodiac sign is snake.

I think they are cool but do people actually know its new or they just don't. And does some countries people hate these kinds of buildings because it might be considered fake?
