If I could, I would be Australian.

In my job I have had the pleasure and in some cases the DISpleasure of interacting with people from all over the world. So in the spirit of these trendy quizzes to see what tarot card, or which Harry Potter character, or what kind of Santa I am I reflect on my dealings with people and tell you how I feel about different nationalities.

These are highly judgmental based on small numbers of groups but I thought you might enjoy my perception.

Let me start by saying that I am proud to be American and anybody who tries to tell me I should not be based on the actions of my government can go straight to hell. Believe me that here in el blogo spheero more than one person has told me that. This is just what I would be if I decided to change for any reason.

Australians: To put it briefly I have very rarely met an Australian that I didn't instantly like. Polite, cheerfull and just seem glad to be crossing paths with me. Great senses of humor and laid back like me.

"Cheers mates"

Irish: Talk about a seemingly carefree bunch of folks. Jokesters with a gleam in their eyes.

"How's she cuttin' lads?"

Japanese: Adventurous and always in a hurry because they want to see it all and they're having a grand time doing it. Bowing is a great greeting and I love exchanging it with them.

Iranians: Surprised? Warm sincere people who are getting a very bum deal with today's paranoia.

Indians: Sincere people and I ALWAYS get strong feelings of family importance from them.

Those are the top five. Many others are close together just below them.

Americans and Canadians both have some work to do. To put it blunt you guys need to lighten up.
