What would a European say?

I ran into some interesting perspectives while in Europe.\nMany people in Central Europe referred to America as everything from Canada down to the southern tip of South America.\nAs a Canadian I feel that everything from the Panama/Colombia border north is North America including the Caribbean.

Europe of course.\nIn Any European country, people in the streets are always holding a book or a news paper. In the states, people are always holding something to eat!\nEuropeans are more humane, more cultured, they know a lot about the rest of the world and they are open to different thoughts. Freedom and liberty and human rights have a meaning in Europe and aren`t just empty sogans as in the States. The European diversity is amazing: The great itaian sense of humor and gregariousness and chiotic nature, the gracefullness and artistic nature of the frensh, the prefectionism and high culture of the germans, the discipline and creativity of the british, the ougoingness an extreme frendlyness of the spanish and so on and so on..(I don`t try to cast steryotypical frames to each part of europe, but I`m descriping my general imprsssion about countries i`ve viusited)\nAs for Education, &#92;nothing beats the british Universities and the German high schools, as for nature, oh my God, try the cote d`azure, or Andalussia or the Alps or Marbella , as for the beauty of the cities, try Paris, Madrid,Segobia, the lovly Munich, or the poetic London.As for women, who can be prettier than the ducth girls from the country side near the holland/belgium border, the fields of tulips and the girls who gather those tulips, its heaven on earth.\n\nAs for the states, the west coast is nice and Los anglos is OK, but nothing impressive. Everybody is too scared, too worried and prefer to keep themselves for themselves. behind the door in each hotel there are "warnigs" not to open the door to anyone you don`t know and not to go out late, etc, even the public areas and parking lots are dangerous at night!And the poor souls are being told day and night that life in their country is the best life affordable! and that they are free!\nIt's shoking how people in America hardly know anything about anything, let alone about the world outside their country. (reminds me of the movie called"The Village!")There is too much light, ut it doesn`t illuminate anything (in the artistic sense), there are such huge things(buildings, bigger food portions and fatter poeple), but the sheer size plus the emptiness gives a very very sad impression. it's like watching a poorly oiled machine trying to work itself work itself to near-explosion in the morning and amuse itself to death in the night.\nIn short: America is a nervous jazz tune, Europe is a glorious symphony!

Anyone can have a bad day.  We are all rude at times.  I seriously try not to hurt anyone's feelings and remember how I would like to be treated.  On the other hand, some people you just cannot please...lol\n\nI would say ALL Europeans if I were to state my opinion...

Germany would be my guess as well.  Perhaps one of the small ones like Luxembourg or Belgium.

I would have no idea what to speak about.\n\nI would probably ask the person who invited me to explain what "scienificu" means.

I received this information recently from a list member of a teaching list:\nAn interesting set of surveys about Europeans and their languages: The main crux is that German is in place # 2 for most commonly used second language (behind english) and German is in place #1 for most widely used mother tongue in Europe. \n\nEnglish: 51% (MT 13%, FL 38%)\nGerman: 32% (MT 18%, FL 14%)\nFrench: 25% (MT 12%, FL 13%)\nItalian: 16% (MT 13%, FL 3%)\nSpanish: 15% (MT 9%, FL 6%) \n\n\nIt also has interesting stats about the countries in which German is a very important second language. \n\nQA2b And which two languages, apart from your mother tongue do you think children should learn? 18\nEnglish French German Spanish Russian Italian Swedish\nEU25 77% 33% 28% 19% 3% 2% 0%\nBE 88% 50% 7% 9% 0% 1% -\nCZ 89% 9% 66% 4% 9% 0% -\nDK 94% 13% 62% 13% 0% 0% 0%\nDE 89% 45% 3% 16% 6% 2% -\nEE 94% 6% 22% 1% 47% 0% 1%\nEL 96% 34% 50% 3% 0% 6% -\nES 85% 44% 14% 4% 0% 1% -\nFR 91% 2% 24% 45% 0% 6% -\nIE 3% 64% 42% 35% 1% 4% 0%\nIT 84% 34% 17% 17% 0% 0% -\nCY 98% 49% 19% 2% 4% 4% 0%\nLV 94% 6% 28% 1% 42% 0% 0%\nLT 93% 6% 34% 2% 43% 0% 0%\nLU 59% 83% 43% 2% 0% 1% -\nHU 85% 4% 73% 3% 2% 2% -\nMT 90% 24% 13% 2% - 61% -\nNL 90% 22% 40% 21% 0% 0% -\nAT 84% 29% 2% 10% 4% 11% -\nPL 90% 7% 69% 1% 10% 1% -\nPT 90% 60% 8% 7% - 0% -\nSI 96% 6% 69% 3% 0% 12% 0%\nSK 87% 7% 75% 3% 6% 1% 0%\nFI 85% 10% 24% 3% 10% 0% 38%\nSE 99% 17% 35% 31% 1% 0% 1%\nUK 5% 71% 34% 39% 1% 3% -\nBG 87% 13% 49% 5% 14% 1% -\nHR 82% 5% 69% 2% 0% 14% -\nRO 64% 34% 17% 7% 2% 8% -\nTR 72% 12% 52% 1% 2% 1% -"\n\nSee the orginal report for more information. \nhttp://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/archives/ebs/ebs_243_sum_en.pdf

I don't know why.  You have a good point. I usually state that I am a New Yorker.  If I answer a question and they ask if I am an American I will answer yes but I always state that I am a New Yorker.  My g/f is from Holland.  My family has a tendency to state shes European.  No she's Dutch first. Europe is a big place.  Just as America is.  Need to be more specific in my opinion. People have been known to generalize.  And I for one dont like to be generalized so I help clarify where I am from.
