Indians are very religious.
They are either strictly religious, or atheists.
They are very kind.
But the country has ancient social evils like subjugation of women, child infanticide, child marriage etc. in various parts of the country.
Second most populated country, soon going to overpopulate china, and become the most populated.
Corruption in politics.
Diversity of animals.
Incredible.

Some facts I know about us Filipinos:

We are a very variable race. Some of us look Chinese, while others look African or even partly Caucasian.

We eat rice with everything. Absolutely everything. A dinner table lacking rice is unspeakable.

Our freezers are filled with ice cream tubs. But don't get too excited. They all contain fish.

It's not really a good idea to own a pedigree dog here. Chances are, there's at least a dozen jealous idiots hoping to steal it.

Our public transportation: "What are seatbelts?"

Fish fermented for so long that it turns into a smelly, salty liquid is a common condiment here.

We sort of worship Spam. I don't know why either.

Every house has an altar full of statuettes of Jesus and Mary. Usually, sitting in front of them are the framed family pics.

If a house has an aquarium, it's usually goldfish, a flowerhorn, or an arowana.

Most houses have very pointy fences. If it doesn't, there's usually a huge dog waiting below.
We take security very seriously here.

No one would dare take out their cellphone in a crowded place. Lots of snatchers.

Most oldies eat their food with slices of banana. You know, for LBM.

Atheists are very, very rare here.

Most public schools are named after saints.

You can find people jaywalking directly under a footbridge.

If we have a surplus of food, we refridgerate, microwave, and repeat for the next week or so.

We are obsessed with mangoes. Obsessed.

We dip bread in Coke.



...And, that's all I can think of for now. xD

In Indonesia (some are positive but most are not xD )
*If there's a new crime case being reported, other people will also do the same case, for example when there's a case where a husband mutilated his wife, few days later there's also another case like that, and many more
*Corruption are common
*Almost all native animals in here are endangered
*A preserve of prehistoric mammal fossil
*There are almost no atheists here, yet overly religious people
*Provocateurs love to join huge protest for no obvious reason
*Dramas in TV are sometimes pointless or not realistic. Not sentiment with Muslims, but in a drama about a Hindu Kingdom, one of the characters talks about Muslim
*4th most populated country
*Variety of race and culture

-Our largest province is British Columbia
I don't think largest is BC :) sorry

I love being Canadian . One cool fact is like the us n various other countries, each region has a different dialect. We don't say eh often xD. The lakes of canada are known as being some of the best fishing regions in the world. Our country is referred to as a mosaic of different cultures . Were used to the cold and love all winter sports. Well, a lot of us.

A lot of celebs have come from here including drake, dean brody, Jim carrey and sadly, Justin beiber. The food here is also amazing including poutine, maple syrup and maple bacon! We have one of the roughest and most unforgiving landscapes in the world too!

I thought BC was the largest in terms of land area, with Ontario being largest in populace. Could be wrong, though.

I'm pretty sure Quebec is largest by land, unless were including territories in which ninuvut is largrst

In Scotland, you will be
Rained on in spring
attacked by insects in summer
rained on in autumn
frozen in winter

Also it is quite nice in the mountains and Edinburgh is full of things to do.
Sometimes there is a referendum to get us separated from the rest of the UK but the always fail.
The wildlife is typical of Europe but can be nice to watch

In the Philippines, road rules are a little bit different.

Usually, if you signal that you're going to the right or left, the cars behind you slow down and give way.

Here, signalling doesn't mean "let that car merge." It means "speed the **** up and don't give that guy any chance."

originally, one_piece

pretty much the same in Vietnam :P maybe even worse.

here, when the yellow light is on, it doesn't mean slow down before stopping to the red light, it means HURRY THE *&&^ UP!

here, when an old lady, a young child, a busy business man, or even a dog is crossing the street, SPEED UP AND RUN STRAIGHT INFRONT OF THAT WOMAN/GIRL/MAN/DOG'S FACE!

here, for bus drivers, when you are pulling over to the bus stop, F%^& EVERYBODY ELSE!

here, when the street is crowded, F$%^ THE LANES, F$%^ THE SIDEWALK, F!@$ THE CYCLIST, F^&% THE WALKER, F%^$ EVERYBODY, I'M GONNA DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET OUTTA HERE!

here, when a cop is nearby, we are all angels.
