People Are Describing Their Country Without Using The Name
A whole lot of countries cover this planet. Most have complicated histories and national identities that could fill many a textbook. But leave it to the internet to boil all that complexity down to one comment. The denizens of Reddit have cleverly managed to sum up their home country without using the name, though some might be more obvious to foreigners than others.
Sometimes it’s the famous national food, while in other instances it’s the unique geography, but these descriptions cut to the core of each country’s reputation. Vote up the most accurate descriptions of nations from around the world.
Anime, sushi, technology…
