I heard that now you can chew gum outside in Singapore, is that right? But I can understand banning gum. You can see so many blackish spots on the ground here, most likely caused by gum...

Not much to be proud of huh? Nationally speaking, that is.
As far as my native region goes-there's a lot of good things around:
Hard working people, kindness (noaberschop), the Nedersaksisch-dialect, nature:woods, brooks and hills.
 
It's okay, Esca. After all, Gustave Eiffel was the engineer behind Bartholdi's design. He's the reason it could stand.

There is also a competition of who can drink cans of beer... And I love Mercedez..But one thing that I dont like about German it's Hittler....
