  • What's your country best at?

    Just thought I'd make a list of what countries are best at. And only 1 best, so it must be the best! And only positive stuff. no America - eating, or America - killing. That kind of thing.

    So, I'll start this list:

    Italy - Luxury Cars
    Japan - Robotics
    New Zealand - Extreme Sports
    Singapore - Top-down social planning
    USA - Pragmatists and Innovators
    Turkey - Businessmen (small)
    Philippines - Improvising
    Finland - Taxing people without revolution
    Australia - Wildlife Research
    Canada - Ice Hockey
    Ireland - Beer Drinking
    Scotland - Joke Telling
    Poland - Breasts
    Germany - Sausages
    France - Fine Dining
    Denmark - Container Shipping
    England - Music
    Australia - Barbeque's
    America - Pop Culture

    Ok Singapore has great food, fantastic food, food to die for...but it's still not better than Thai food or Vietnamese food.

    Man, I love living in Southeast Asia.

    Other places I've lived:

    USA - best pragmatists and innovators (current Administration notwithstanding)
    Turkey - best small businessmen (between their haggling skills and their touting skills, they're awesome)
    Philippines - best at improvising (I've never seen anybody pull something together with no resources and no warning the way the Filipinos can)
    Singapore - best at top-down social planning

          Ok Rufus, you're right, I was going to put in what you suggested for Singapore, but then I thought of Hong Kong and UAE, so I wasn't sure.

          Try harder PH, what about Seafaring, World Domination, Cultural Influence; England has a lot to choose from.

                          Can you think of something that Canada's better at?
