Common things in your country that mostly locals know


SouthLand
 Share

Recommended Posts

I think we should all put a list of things locals know and do in your country and you don't get to see or realize even if you come as a tourist for a short period of time to any country:

 

 

Spain

 

- When listening to the radio, when the hour changes you will hear the broadcaster announce what time is it and what time is it in the Canary Islands. Ex. "It's 9AM, 8AM in the Canary Islands". This happens in all known radio stations.

 

- If you are trying to spell a name, a street or anything to someone, Spanish people use cities/countries to spell. Example; If someone had to spell "SouthLand" they would do it like this; Spain - Oviedo- Uruguay - Thailand - Hospital - Lugo - Andorra - Norway - Denmark.

 

- In Spain, "tio" is the same in English as "Bro" or "mate". However, depending on where you live, they can use a different term.

Ex;

-Catalonia: "Nen"

-Valencia: "Nano or Tete"

-Canary Islands: "Muyayo"

- Andalusia: "Killo or Shurmano"

-Murcia: "Acho"

-Zaragoza: "Maño"

 

- Families reunite money to play the Christmas lottery the Spanish National Lottery organizes. Each number was ten sets. Each set costs 20€

Ex.

 

14804- 1 = price: 20€

14804- 2 = price: 20€

14804- 3 = price: 20€

14804- 4 = price: 20€

14804- 5 = price: 20€

14804- 6 = price: 20€

14804- 7 = price: 20€

14804- 8 = price: 20€

14804- 9 = price: 20€

14804- 10 = price:20€

 

Everybody watches live the lottery on TV/RADIO on December 22nd of each year. The prize are for the whole number, EXAMPLE:

 

Using the example above, let's imagine that the number 14804 has a price of 100,000€.

 

If you only buy one set you only win 100.000€. if you buy all the sets of this number, you win 100,000€ x10

 

 

- News broadcasts on 90% of tv channels,

 

-Start in the morning at 8AM

- Start at midday at 2PM

-Start at night at 9pm

 

- Spain uses military time, which means, everybody says; "It's 4PM" but writes it down as "16pm".

 

- Most part of the population is against bullfighting and have never been to a bullfighting event.

 

- Southern Spain is more religious than the rest of the country.

 

- Most middle aged women and grandmothers carry a hand fan on their purse on summer.

 

- Spanish people like to speak a bit loudly and giving a pat in the back to someone who you don't know to say "Hi nice to meet you" It's totally acceptable.

 

- Swearing is not that of a crime as in the USA.

 

- Locals start drink at 12:30-1:00am outside clubs in the parking areas or in someone's house. At arround 2AM people start going to clubs until it's 6am or 7am. After the party, it's very common to go with your friends to buy "Churros" for breakfast before heading home.

 

- Your relatives congratulate you on your “Saint’s Day.”

 

- Gossip travels at speed of light and specially if you live in a small town.

 

- High School students organize trips to Ibiza once the last year of school ends.

 

- Nobody excepts Basques can understand the Basque language.

 

- Calling your black friend "nigga" or your asian friend "the Chinese" is not disrespectful and in most cases they like that you call them like that as their nickname.

 

- Every time you meet someone or you find a friend, you give her to kisses. Men shake hands (Except if family).

 

- All Waitresses and Shop assistants are called "hey" or "excuse me"

 

- The military police (Guardia Civil) is in charge of the Traffic in most Spain except Catalonia.

 

- Most elderly people go to Benidorm to spend their holidays.

 

- Ederly people still put down their heads when passing through a Police Station of the Guardia Civil as if they still lived in the Dictatorship.

-America uses a 12 hour clock rather than military time

-swearing is not a crime, just considered vulgar

In the winter the Rideau canal here in Ottawa is the longest skate way or skating rink in North America, it's frozen over with water pumped from drilled holes in the ice and maintained for ice skating for up to four months or longer.

"You don't understand! I could've had class. I could've been a contender. I could've been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."

                                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                                           On the Waterfront 1954 M.Brando

Everyone in my country knows:

 

Everyone drinks beer.

Every teenager drinks everything that says 'alcohol' on it.

It's a bad idea to manipulate with the natural landscapes.

7/10 of the west coast in western Denmark is dominated by Germans.

That people living in western Denmark are mainly rednecks and 2/10 of those commit farm yard sodomy.

That beer is pretty cheap.

That it's very normal for 20+ guys to have sex with girls just over 15 years. (This is legal btw)

Dog owners know that private forest owners are hypocrite assholes.

That citypeople are normal and farmers are not.

That only the unnormal people doesn't drive around in European sedans and hipsters coupes.

That 'one toad' means 1000 DKK.

That a 'Bimmer' is a BMW.

That a Mercedez is a 'Mercer'.

That eastern Europeans are evil. (This is a very usual prejudge)

- many people watch "Dinner fo one" on TV every New Year's Eve

- Most Germans have a big aversion against any financial risks and fear inflation

- 23 million people in Germany are members of associations/clubs

- apparently the car looses its role as status symbol for young people who simply want mobility

- nobody is admiring David Hasselhoff, although he claims he braught down the wall

- several bands like the Bloodhound Gang or Billy Talent were much more successful here than they were in their home countries

Most Germans don't wear Lederhosen. If you wanna see Lederhosen Germans and their subculture, visit the south of Germany.

 

Many Germans are anti EU and anti Euro currency.

 

Germans like to complain.

 

Angela Merkel has a doctor title.

 

Berlin is a sh*thole.

 

Berlin has a gay mayor.

 

The south is mostly Catholic, the north mostly Protestant. The people in the south are more religious and more conservative.

 

To many Germans Eastern Europe means crime.

 

Swearing is not as accepted and common as for example in the US.

 

Right parties have more success in the east.

 

It's not allowed to dance in public on Good Friday.

 

The Spanish island "Mallorca" aka. "Malle" for Germans, is often jokingly called the 17th state (Germany has 16), since it has many German tourists.

 

Most common car brand is VW.

 

Father's Day is a let's get drunk day for many men. Many of them meet other men, then put alcoholic drinks in a handcart, walk anywhere (maybe to a pub) and drink, drink, drink.

 

Beer is officially considered a basic food in Bavaria.

If abroad you ask to a Roman where he's from, he'll most likely say: "I'm Roman, from Rome" rather than "I'm Italian" (cause Rome has been around from way before Italy and we take pride on that).

 

If in Italy you ask to a Roman where he's from, he'll most likely say: "I'm Roman, from Rome" rather than simply "I'm Roman" (cause many people from towns nearby Rome say they are from Rome when they aren't and cause back in ancient Roman times basically most of the known world was Roman hence you needed to specify when you were a Roman from Rome)

 

15th of August we celebrate Ferragosto. It's a celebration of summer that goes back to 2000 years ago. Everyone leaves the city and goes to the beach.

 

Romans speak Romanaccio which is a slang spoken only in Rome derived from the Roman dialect Romanesco.

 

Romans are as religious just as much as they are anti-clerical due to the fact the Pope was the king of the city till 1860 and represented the law.

 

To meet priests or nuns in the street is considered bad luck.

 

Rome has its own criminal organization once known as the Magliana Gang. Nowadays it's mainly formed by neo-fascist groups who run all criminal activities and are the local reference for the other Italian mafias.

 

The Vatican is a foreign State inside the city limits. The Vatican didn't recognize Italy as a State for almost 70 years.

 

The Vatican has immense real estate properties all over the city.

 

The Roman Jewish community is possibly the oldest in Europe. Some Jewish family have been Roman for centuries.

 

Some say you are Roman only if 7 generations of your family were born in Rome. Though a very popular old song says that you are Roman as long as you are born in Rome.

 

Lazio was the first football team of Rome.

 

Lazio and Roma supporters refer to each other as "cousins".

 

Rome's birthday is celebrated every April 21st. Currently 2767 years old.

 

The Tiger Mosquito is very common during summer.

 

Stray cats are very popular and hundreds of them live in the ancient Roman ruins.

 

Romans love their city above any other city in the world but they criticize it much and consider it not a livable city and yet most of them will never move out of it.

- many people watch "Dinner fo one" on TV every New Year's Eve

 

I think this is quite widely known here in the UK. For some reason it's always made a point of on British TV that Germans like to watch it around Christmas time. Although we never watch it ourselves. It's like "hey there's this thing of ours that the German's really love and have a big tradition with it. Go us"

 

I don't think people realise how diverse the British accents are, received pronunciation (the "classic" English accent) is spoken by pretty much nobody at all. I think there's also an overestimation of how much we like cricket. It's not really that popular tbh, especially not at county level. People will get behind the national team somewhat, but pretty much nobody cares about their local county clubs. Football is by a massive margin the most popular sport.

 

We also have a lot of different terms for "bro" or "mate". Some examples include: son, sonny, bud, buddy, mate, matey, kid, kiddah, our kid, chap, pal, boy, boyo, fella. Those are pretty much just terms for men though. Some for women include: love, petal, flower, dear, darling. Some of those sound like names you'd only call your girlfriend but they're used for strangers. "love" is the most common, e.g. a shopkeeper might say "Hiya love can I help you?". Love is also used by women towards men and women towards other women, but never by men towards other men.

 

Curry is just as popular as fish and chips, if not even more popular. As well as ketchup, we also have "brown sauce". I don't really know what's in it or how to describe the flavour other than to say it's slightly tangy, but it's really popular and used as much as ketchup. Actually the wikipedia article helps:

 

 

 

The ingredients include a varying combination of tomatoes, molasses, dates, tamarind, spices, vinegar, and sometimes raisins or anchovies. The taste is either tart or sweet with a peppery taste similar to Worcestershire.

 

We have our own version of Jerry Springer called Jeremy Kyle, and his shows are always on in the morning and feature the worst human beings you've ever seen. We have to pay for a television licence, which is the biggest rip off ever and is basically just used to fund the BBC. It costs £145 a year currently. Soaps are popular, although unlike all the foreign soaps I've seen ours are nowhere near as glamorous and are actually really gritty and depressing. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale are the most popular, probably in that order. Coronation Street is set just outside of Manchester, Eastenders in East London and Emmerdale is set on a farm/village.

Youths in cities speak a dialect that can be almost foreign to older people and non-locals. It's a mix of all the languages that have impacted the culture; Jamaican creole, US slang, Cockney slang and even some South Asian influences. It's started to leave the cities and young people around the UK now use phrases from it, we use it where I live in rural Wiltshire.

 

Some areas of the UK are very poor. This is mainly in the north, Scotland and the North East of England suffering the worst. However, some of the traditional seaside towns like Margate, Blackpool and areas of Cornwall have been hit very hard and struggle with high rates of poverty, crime and a wave of heroin hitting the coastal towns. The towns tourism industry has plummeted massively, they've been known as "dumping grounds" for placing for people like children in car, drug addicts, mentally ill, and the rates of unemployment, crime and drug abuse rival some of the worst inner city areas.

"It has been found by the Poverty and Social Exclusion project at Bristol University in 2014,that the proportion of households lacking three items or activities deemed necessary for life in the UK at that time (as defined by a survey of the wider population) has increased from 14% in 1983 to 33% in 2012."

 

Drug use is pretty high here. I'm part of that kind of circle in my town and even here in a rural town with around 15,000 people, you could get any kind of drug you want. Bristol and Bath, my nearest cities (about half an hour away) have some of the highest rates of Ketamine use. We have the highest drug use rates in Europe, the only mainstream drug that isn't widely available is Crystal Meth. Also, drugs are a massive part of youth culture here, particularly where I live which is probably the rave capital of the UK.

 

Some areas of the UK have their own distinct languages and cultures, obviously Wales and Scotland, but many people don't know that the Isle of Man and Cornwall also have separate national identities. They all share common Celtic roots and their languages are all a form of Gaelic. That said, the Manx and Cornish languages are pretty much dead. Welsh however is widely spoken in some areas.

 

While drug use is going up, the UK is becoming safer. It is now the safest it was in 33 years, with 550 murders last, compared to around 1000 in 2001.

 

Far right support is growing in some areas of the UK, particularly more rural, poverty stricken towns.

 

Liverpool has a very passionate, distinct culture, owing it's strong Irish influences.

 

We have some of the best festivals, raves and carnivals in the world.

 

The UK is extremely ethnically mixed in some areas.Only 45% of Londoners call themselves White British, with 50 foreign communities with a population of more than 10,000 making it one of, if not the most ethnically diverse city on earth.

Almost all grocery stores are closed on Sunday, except a few big chain stores who have small, sh*tty locals open.

 

Tons of Norwegians are racist as f*ck, and die-hard conservatives.

 

People ALWAYS blame the sitting Prime Minister for whatever, like teens smoking weed.

 

No one gives a f*ck about Svalbard or Jan Mayen.

 

Every high school is infected with alcohol and weed.

 

We still have a king. For some reason.

 

The biggest city and capital, Oslo, is smaller than Brooklyn. Larger if you include the large forested areas north of the urban areas, which for some reason are considered a part of the city, but that doesn't really count IMO, as it's nothing but swamps and trees.

 

Frozen pizza is amongst the most eaten food in the entire country.

 

The radio stations never play Black Metal or Norwegian folklore, but the same bland pop songs EVERY SINGLE day. And the occasional 80s ballad.

 

We still have a large network of TV-stations and radio stations owned by the government, called NRK. It has no commercials, but that's because every single Norwegian HAS to pay for it, even if they don't watch it. As long as they have a TV or radio, it's illegal not to.

 

Most of the girls here really aren't as hot as so many people claim. A lot of them are blonde, over-stylized bimbos anyway.

 

If you're lucky enough to find UK imported Mt.Dew in a grocery store, it will cost you around 6 dollars. Regular Coca-Cola, and most other soft drinks cost around 3 dollars. And that's only for 0,5 liters, or whatever dumb system they have in the US.

 

A regular Chicken Nuggets menu in McDonald's can cost around 31 dollars. I'm dead serious.

 

 

 

In other words, don't visit Norway.

That is only half true. Swearing in real life is maybe not as accepted as in the USA but on TV it is the complete opposite. We would never censor words like f*ck, sh*t and c*nt.

 

Look whats happening when an American star realises that he can say anything he wants on German TV.

I just heard this today, so it´s new for me as well.

It´s possible to get convicted of violating animal protection rights from vacuum cleaning a spider.

It´s considered slow and painful death. All animals, not just mammals must be finished without pain fast.

 

But it´s not common.

Mr. Killa is wrong. Everyone is hot as f*ck here.

Also, listen to Radio P1, nothing but quality programming. Furthermore, there's no study/statistics to suggest that a sizable portion of the population are racists or die-hard conservatives. The same goes for the HS Drugs/alcohol subject. Who is blaming the prime minister? And for what? Perhaps be more specific than 'everyone'? It's not illegal to own a TV without paying(pro tip: read the law you think you're citing).

 

Do visit Norway. It's the greatest country in the world.

Nah, everyone is not hot as f*ck here. My comment was sorta going out against the stereotypes about there being superhot in Norway, which I do not agree with. My comment about radio stations was mostly countering the people who think that Black Metal is the only music that comes out of Norway. My comment about conservatives was against the stereotype about everyone in Norway being tolerant and socialist. I never claimed everyone blames the PM, and it is s joke about all the people in the comment sections of big webnewspapers always refering to the PM when the related article has nothing to do with politics. Maybe I user the wrong words about the TV payment, but it's definetely not without consequences.

 

And the last comment was just a joke. I think you should take things on a GTAForum a little less serious.

A TV "tax" for simply owning a TV is also paid in many other European countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licence

 

Although wiki is wrong about Portugal. You indeed pay a tax for TV that is called "audio-visual contribution" and it comes disguised in your electricity bill...

They do mention this more below but not in the table.

BRAZIL

 

Everything you know about my country is some exaggerated fake sh*t that local media exposes to the rest of the world. So, let me show you the truth:

 

 

 

Its people:

 

When you hear about Brazil you instantly think about its supposedly hot women, gorgeous latin people and how receptive and cool we are, yeah..... No! The majority of the population is not only unnatractive, but also arrogant, disrespectful, hypocritical and dishonest.

Danz , aren't you being harsh with your country?

Maybe as a local you don't appreciate at his fullest, i sure have a problem apreciating my country but sure is not that bad

Let's see...

 

There are more cows than sheep.

Flip-flops are called "jandals".

A vacuum cleaner is a "lux" in the deep south and a "batch" is a "crib".

Casual racism is fun.

Most of the rivers are full of feces.

Every town in the South Island is miles from anywhere.

Every single bit of land could fit on a postcard but we don't give a sh*t.

Convenience stores here are called "dairys".

"Bumming a fag" means "scabbing a cigarette".

More factoids:

It's normal that men kiss in the cheek each other, even better,s normal with girls

We have the most variety of beatiful women in the world, like someone you know says: "36 flavors of titties" (i swear that every chick in here has a great ass)

We have the best meat, we export cows ans pigs and sh*t

Also we have the best ground to harvest ANYTHING (someone say to me once that if you kick a a can to the floor you get a three of cans)

People are terribly racist

We have one of the sh*ttiest goverments that exists (we had like 4 miltary takeovers, the f*ck?!)

The TV here IS sh*t,is so sex centered that becomes boring after two minutes, ( search in youtube :Rompeportones,bailando por un sueño:stripdance,/addagio)

Empanadas are the tits

Our BBQ 's are miles better than the ones from USA

Cars are f*cking awful (search auto falcon, auto duna, auto fitito)

We are really ,REALLY smug, we tell jokes about how dumb are spaniards (sorry op)

Everyone are self entitled pricks

We are becoming a paradise for drug dealers

We had some of the worst presidents ever (nixon? Try Menem) even our vicepresident is in trial for money laundry charges!!!

 

Still is a great country,come if you want,the women are hot as f*ck, the wine is great, the meat is humongous and 1 dollar is 7 pesos and the drugs are really easy to get

Visit argentina and ask for lucas guerrero, he will see you taken care of you

:-)

Please bring your money

I'm just gonna talk about my city instead of my country (America) as a whole. The cops in this town suck, but that goes for everywhere really. All the people here are religious nuts, but I guess that's typical for suburban wastelands. Everyone here, and I mean everybody smokes ALOT of weed (again, nothing out of the ordinary at all). Basically I live in your average boring upper-middle class American suburbia. Move along, nothing impressive here.
