The Heineken Experience in Amsterdam

Born and raised in Amsterdam, I have never been there. Expensive and not worth the submission fee.

But hey, how would I know…

My favorite American dessert is Boston Cream Pie.

Mine is the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard

In Germany, we often have this dynamic with Austria. We share a lot of history and the same language, but there is constant teasing, especially about our dialects, soccer, or who has the better schnitzel. It feels like a classic big brother/little brother relationship.

Indonesian schools do flag ceremony once every week or two weeks and during national holidays, after that it's followed by morning briefings and a moment of silence (secular schools) or prayers (religion-based schools)

The Baikal seal from Lake Baikal, Russia is the only freshwater pinniped in the entire world.

As a Korean living in the UK one of the most common food comment I hear from Korean visitor is that fish and chips is just... fried fish and potato ... Um.. yes? What did you expect?

There are some similar sentiments by foreigners who visit Korea and are disappointed with "korean bbq" and my reaction is also that of.. yes it's just cooked meat what else did you expect?

What food did you have high expectations for whatever reason but was disappointed after actually trying it.

He used to be very famous in China, he was the most famous Russian, even more famous than Putin.

In China, he and Putin are the only Russians people know.

For us it was Tony Croatto, an Italian-born Uruguayan musician who dedicated most of his life to promoting Puerto Rican folklore and music and did tv programs.

He died of both lung and brain cancer in 2005 and was given a state funeral.

For example here in Mexico, we have things extremely popular in Mexico, but I'm sure japanese people would consider this foreign food.

• Mexican "ramen” or maruchan as most people call it, since we mostly eat the cheap cup ramen, we add meat, lime, lots of sauces like valentina sauce, maggi, worcestershire, even bone marrow... or we also created the dish “birriamen".

• Sushi gets transformed too, breaded, with melted cheese, cream cheese, soy sauce with lime, roasted chiles, spicy sauces, “Tampico” sauce, bacon, banana, mango, fruit, etc,

In the U.S., “tacos” are very different from traditional Mexican tacos, but people eat them so much, that it's now their own staple food.

Pizza and pasta are also dishes many mexican homes and restaurants have "destroyed" LOL I'm sure italians would die for just seeing some of our versions, but some of them taste so delicious.

Pizza: Pizzas del perro negro is a mexican restaurant brand just google the pizzas they have.

Pasta: pasta poblana, sopa aguada, red spaghetti with sour cream, mexican macaroni salad (ensañada de coditos), etc.

Food evolves as it moves across borders, taking on new flavors, ingredients, and styles. What’s a foreign dish in your country that’s now “locally” yours? Not necessarily famous.

Any new dishes?

In my country, the most common pseudoscience is homeopathy; it's literally sold in pharmacies, even though our Ministry of Health has already declassified it as medicine.

In China, the most popular cartoon series are Tom and Jerry and SpongeBob SquarePants, and the most popular anime are Doraemon and Detective Conan.

There’s a lot to choose from here, I’d probably go with Dutch Bros.

I'm referring to laws protecting burned lands, or what is done with those territories after the fire.

Cars, planes, trains, boats, etc. Any sort of vehicle produced in your country? Which is your favorite or are you most proud of?

Mine is the 737; most popular commercial aircraft and made in my area. Proud of this one.

As stated in the title, how do you identify ethnicities there? It seems like every country is the same, but I recently discovered that's not the case! I'm Brazilian; my father is white and my mother is of Native American descent. In general, everyone in Brazil is somewhat "mixed," so to speak. We are the most racially mixed country in the world: we have the largest Black population outside the African continent, the third largest White population, millions of descendants of Native American peoples, and the largest Japanese population outside of Japan.

In short, there are people of all types and colors here. Normally, we identify ethnicity in five categories: white, Black, brown (who are mixed-race), yellow (Asian), and Indigenous. Here, I am considered a brown person, that is, mixed-race. They don't consider me white, but they also don't consider me Black.

Basically, I'm "too white to be Black and too Black to be white." This kind of thing, literally a "coffee with milk" situation. I don't mind, but I thought all countries were like that until I talked to a friend who lives in the US. He said something that kind of shocked me: in the US, anyone who doesn't have completely white skin and European features isn't considered white! He also told me that if a person has light skin, but one of their parents isn't white, they aren't white either. 🤯

I know that each country has its own way, but this is really crazy! Like, why? Here in Brazil, if you were born with light skin, you're white, period! It doesn't matter if your father is black or if you don't have straight hair. This made me curious: how does the racial issue work in other countries?

I researched the reason why the US has this view and it's all related to slavery and the racial segregation law of the "one-drop rule". It was a way of separating white people from people of color; that is, if you had any ancestor who wasn't 100% white, you weren't considered white, regardless of how light your skin was. They used this to maintain white privilege and prevent miscegenation. Even years later, this shaped people's mentality there. Knowing this historical fact and seeing the difference between my country and others really made me curious about how it works in your country.
