I had a great conversation with one of the Dutch Lady here. I would like to share with everyone and to those that had been to Europe or have many international friends can feel free to share their comments...
We were discussing about how your nationality or culture determines your attitude in life. In particular, we were looking at the guys around in our dorm and we came up with these few conclusions.
Germans: They are kind of male-chauvinistic but they really take good care of people especially girls because they think that they are strong men who can protect women.
French: They have a super laid-back attitude towards life, always taking their own sweet time, scrambling around to find the right thing in life. They are creative and good with people but they are definitely not the type of person whom you can be dependent on.
Spanish: Almost similar to the French, don't have much of a clue to what they really want in life so they adopt a laid-back attitude as well. Indecisive is the word. Party, Drink & Dance is their LIFE ?
Swiss: The most reliant people among the European gang. They always seem to know what they want and they don't just do the talking. They get things done. Is that the reason why Switzerland is Europe's Banking & Financial Centre?
Why were we gossiping about the guys in our dorm in the first place? Actually, 2 of them bought bikes so the Dutch girl was talking about it. She cycles in the Netherlands everywhere and she's contemplating about getting one but she doesn't feel comfortable cycling around by herself. Neither does she want to follow those 2 guys around because the 1 of them is French & the other is a German that grows up in Spain so he's kinda Spanish-like? haha.. I totally would like to get one too so we were saying we can get one each. But, it's only 4 months left so after doing the accounting, we felt it wouldn't be a good buy. It's cheap for her to ship back to Holland but it's definitely a NO-NO for me to bring it back to Singapore. European bikes are really of good quality I guess. Look at their tyres and rims! I love them :)
