It is very nice to see more people from France here ... I always wonder why there are only a few people from France in the net ... Smile
In Germany ? Really ?
From the few I know/see, I like the nordic mentalities. It seems to me less superficial than the southern Europe mentalities. I might be wrong, cause I say that only from my own impression.

That's suprizing what you are saying about the fact there's no French people in the internet.
I saw some users from France in this forum. Maybe not dozens and dozens but still. Wink

Well that's true people don't dare to speak (write) English. It's typically French -_-

I don´t know @ superficial, but I think the people are more peaceful, the further north you go, but more Community you comes to the south. Here - in the Harz-Mountains - we have a saying... if a man yawns at monday morning he has said all important things for the week Smile

I live in France, and my dental surgeon speaks English. He causes me pain in two languages.

You're problably right. Smile
Gotta travel there longer to confirm what you say hehe ! :biggrin:

I meant maybe "more straightforward" instead of "less superficial".

Also, I used to be politically-aligned with Socialism when I was younger. I see that many European countries are Democratic-Socialist. I like that.

100% agree with this. Don't get me wrong, I love the U.S., but Europe (especially Holland) seems sooo much more open minded, down to earth, free!, and educated from what I have seen. I've been to Holland, Germany, Austria and Sweden.

*Also, Holland is western Europe, not northern. Not sure about Germany. The Scandinavian countries are northern, though.

It is good ... but it could be much better and faster ... but with our current government I don´t think that it will change fast... we get out rights, but not from the government... we get it by the Federal Constitutional Court in time... and I think thats not the best way.

Tommy Atkins was considered a very common British name. "Tommy" became popular in use during WWI

The British also would use tommy cookers
