I’m from Romania and at the parts with “everyone owns a mystic castle in the Carpate mountains in Transylvania” and “directly related to Dracula” I thought I was gonna die of laughing! Also most of this stereotypes are based on our political representants and gypsies (who bring our country to shame) except
“mistrust police and government” and “love to celebrate” which is definitaly the true romanian. Most politicians are the way the stereotypes say but the not-so-rich romanians are actually really nice and warm hearted even through we have a strange mocking sense of humor.Also you could add that romanians men love drinking.

After reading this it bought a nostalgic feeling… Ah, what we were and what have we become! I really hope another Vlad comes and impales all those lunatics.

I find it interesting to read about Malaysian stereotypes on a whole. The line about ‘traditional women with modern thinking’ is really accurate, as with ‘ultra-religious, but selling porn everywhere’. Haha.

In a way, we’re a bunch of confused people stuck between ultra-conservative and secular-urban.

each situation*, sorry ;)

Believe me, maybe people in Poland are not angels but they’re not so horrible as well;) Unfortunately, we will remember rude, ugly waiteress behaving like Miss World better, than e.g. ordinary man giving out some newspapers.

To Mr Dir,

you say that most polish women complain a lot…and what’s about you? Your opinion about polish people (by the way it seems that you’re are talking also about yourself) is not a complaint?

Besides, how can you estimate the majority? On what basis? Do you know every person in Poland and can predict their behaviour in each situations?

It’s natural that extremely negative conducts will be most visible and will jump out but it doesn’t mean that they’re common!

To Chris,
Most Poles are rude, disagreeable, pugnacious, finding quarrel in a straw, unpunctual. Most women complain a lot, waiting for the perfect man… in vain.
Most Polish women believe that they beauty …even ugly women, smart and so on…Most Polish people go to church every Sunday…Why? Because of Faith?…no,
because of parents, new dress, new car, etc. It’s a so disingenuous. Remember, don’t smile to Polish…Why? They think You laughing at them.

Wow, Mr Dir. So the general perception of Polish seems more positive than reality?

I am Polish. That’s really true about polish people except “excellent drivers” and “helpful”
