How to know if you are European?
This is what I found on the net.

- the plane touches down and everyone starts to clap
- there are more Smart Cars than SUVs on the highways
- all traffic laws become optional
- you find yourself eating lunch at 2:00 and dinner at 10:00
- your socks are forever hard and crusty because there are no clothes dryers
- Coke tastes like Pepsi
- “Going for coffee” will take at least two hours
- the “non-smoking section” is in the middle of the “smoking section”
- you have to sleep in the fetal position because your king size bed is really about the size of a twin
- your laptop is as big a the TV screen in your hotel room
- nothing is open on Sunday
- you practice twice a day, every day . . . just because
- after getting your 5th foul, you realize what a luxury it is to have 6 in the WNBA
- taking an on-side step to start a drive or doing a spin move at the end of a play is traveling, but the five steps you take at the end of the drive are not?
- when someone says they will do it “tomorrow” that really doesn’t mean the following day . . .it refers to some approximate date in the future.

You're not fat.

You don't come home at midnight, you go out at midnight.

You walk in heels on cobblestones.

You wear a training suit only at the gym.

You travel and bring back food or even fresh flowers. You just cant go to Italy without bringing back Parmesan!

A 2 hours drive brings you to a place where they speak another language

Your house is older than America (sometimes your car depending if you're from eastern Europe)

You speak at least two languages fluently and understand the rest.

You pay alot for gasoline.

You know all the royal houses in Europe and have a favourite princess. If you're hardcore a favourite lady in waiting.

Your jeans actually fit your body.

You know a little about a lot.

You would never wear a fleece jacket and flip-flops at the same time.

You belive we are way to americanized over here. You hate it, but can't stop watching Desperate Housewifes and other no quality shows.

You don't have a local church, you have a local cathedral.

You dont wear white socks with formal shoes.

Well in Italy people dine at 7-7:30 pm in the north, 8.00-8:30 in the centre (me too) and 10-10:30 pm in the south. So our restaurants serve food from 7:00 to 11:00 pm (don't work as waitress here!!!).

Lunch is more uniform, usually at 1:00-1:30 pm, a bit later in the south.

It's funny that Greeks have this obession with medicines. Italians are more original: whatever is your disease you have at least a grandma who knows all the medieval countryside remedies.

Here some:
- formula against jinx for headache :thumbs up
- ethylic alcool on sun burns :thumbs up
- grain of salt on wounds of the gum (this one works)
- inhalation of steam flavoured with some herbs against blocked nose (it works but after 5 minutes it is locked again)
- exposition to the sun to sweat against temperature
- pack of row eggs and olive oil against dry hair
- walking in sea water against cellulite and vascular problems
- warm wine and orange peel against cough

But the true specialities of Italian grandma are herbal teas and honeys.

Italians usually have only plasters and painkillers in their medicine cabinet.

Well, we go to the doctors, but for other things like getting sick, breaking a leg, etc.
Now, the check ups, it depends.
Someone with good health, maybe goes once a year/2 years. Someone with health problems, goes very often.
I do my blood test/ Pap Smear test once a year, and the rest, when needed.

The clapping thing happens in the Balkans. On my connecting flights to Vienna, Zurich etc, most of the time there was clapping as well. But these could of been the Balkanites on the flight.

A lot of these can be applied to Albanians.

Albanian ones I would add:

- You drive a Mercedes/BMW
- You eat bread with every meal
- You put feta cheese on most of your meals
- You either have an Albanian 2 headed emblem on your necklace or a tattoo of one (this may be more of a Albanian American)
- You drink raki
- Your father curses and often times curses your mother out without realizing it with lines like "I will fck your mother." And when he's not cursing your mother, his other curses usually involve some sort of fcking
- Whenever you go over someone's house each person in the house will ask each guests how they are and how they are doing.
- Saying goodbye can last up to an hour at the door with random conversation
- You never tell the truth concerning prices. You either brag how expensive something was or you brag how you were able to get something so cheap. Weird dynamic.
- You wear designer clothing (armani, diesel, gucci) but you work a minimum wage job
- You live with your parents even when your married and you have no intentions of buying your own home.
- You find ways to scam the system whether that is the government, businesses, etc.
- You would never send your parents to a retirement home
-When you go out for coffee, you empty out everything in your pockets and leave it on the table (keys, cellphone, wallet) It's a way to show off to the others what kind of phone and car you have.
-You all fight to pay for the meal. The concept of splitting a bill does not exist.

[ Fun ] You know you're Eastern European when...
5.All your children have nick names, which sound nowhere close to their real names.

This one is so true for the Serbs. For example Novak is called Nole. :lol:

eat yourselve to death with fast food because you are working 70 hrs a week so ur too tired to cook.
get blamed for all the worlds fault when the average citizen is just trying to make it themselves
you lose your job cause of the recession and unable to draw unemployment so you lose your home and have to move in with parents.

Are you for a surprise Amigo ;)

India's Muslim population is the world's third largest and the world's largest Muslim-minority population. Most of the Muslims in India belong to Indian ethnic groups, with minor to obvious levels of gene flow from outside, primarily from Persia and Central Asia.
The largest concentrations-about 47% of all Muslims in India, according to the 2001 census—live in the 3 states of Uttar Pradesh (30.7 million) (18.5%), West Bengal (20.2 million) (25%), and Bihar (13.7 million) (16.5%). Muslims represent a majority of the local population in Lakshadweep (93% in 2001) and Jammu and Kashmir (67% in 2001). High concentrations of Muslims are found in the eastern states of Assam (31%) and West Bengal (25%), and in the southern states of Kerala (24.7%) and Andhra Pradesh (14%). Officially, India has the third largest Muslim population (after Indonesia and Pakistan).

I've been to Beirut, when the plane touched down....lots and lots of clapping....I was scared at first and didn't know what was going on...lol....

So...maybe more of a Levantine thing?

Agreed, there's something Oriental, or at least Mediterranean in it. The one and only time I've seen people clapping when the plane touched down was in Cairo.




You live near a Castle

You live surrounded by castles. :cool:

Gardening is among your hobbies and you have vases even on steps and near radiators.

You know you're Eastern European when...

2. Everything you eat is savored in garlic and onions.

That one is simply not true. It is a South European trademark.
