This about sums it up.

There is a similar feeling between Germanics though. The others strive to and assess themselves by the standard of the Anglo-Saxons.

Meh. I don't know. I love some of their women (a lot of them are crap too) and their music (particularly the Poles, the Czechs and the Russians have had a real good influence on the development of classical music).

The Slavs I have met (mainly from Yugoslavia, the two Russian girls in my high school class and the Czechs when I was in Prague) seem to be a weird bunch. Friendly ? Not the happy clappy and the pat-on-the-shoulder "mate !" friendliness that I had expected but they were friendly in other ways: by showing courtliness and hospitality. I remember that when I was in Prague my pal and we're preparing to leave our camping and I noticed when I went to take a shower that the line to the shower cabin was a bit long and so did the owner who knew that we were about to leave and who kindly invited me to use the family shower. Something that wouldn't happen in this country, for sure, if you didn't know the owner personally.

I found the Czechs, in particular, to be a very agreeable people (almost like the Germans) who were honest and never charged you too much and that always came up with some travel advise "you might want to see this too.. not many tourists know this place."

The two Russian girls in my class were smashing. Absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and well-educated (for what I saw). Well I was 14, 15 but they were fine class mates.

The only ones i have ever really had anything to do with are Russians.

Bit dark and moody but like a good time and have a good sense of humour.......plus they dont take any shit from anyone which is a characteristic i like in people.

Im sure you noticed a difference between the Russians, Czechs and Yugoslavs right? I mean we're from the south so were supposed to be friendlier than west and east Slavs. Im curious for what you have to say.
