When it comes to countries you’ve never visited, it’s all too easy to fall victim to stereotypes.
#1 Egypt: “We all ride camels around. I’m Egyptian, and I’ve never seen a camel in person.”
#2 Canada – “That we’re all very polite and put maple syrup on everything (However, the maple syrup stereotype is correct.)”
#4 South Africa – “We don’t have paved roads, cities, electricity, or any other modern conveniences; it’s just jungle with animals and people living in mud huts. These stereotypes don’t irritate me, but they do make me laugh.”
#5 Poland – “That the entire country is a grey, desolate wasteland. In reality, it’s a stunningly beautiful location with abundant natural beauty.”
#6 Ireland – “That we consume a lot of alcohol and eat nothing but potatoes.”
#7 France – “That we are unpleasant, that we do not shower frequently enough, and that we are always carrying a baguette.”
#8 Switzerland – “Everything is spotless, but everything is exorbitantly priced. This is entirely correct.”
#9 India – We eat nothing but curry. There are thousands of different dishes to choose from, and not all of them are spicy.
#10 Germany – “Our stereotype is best expressed through a joke: ‘How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?’ One. We are extremely efficient and not amusing.”
