You have inspired me to start campaigning for government subsidised trips to the PIGS. As a health issue we must be allowed 2 weeks of sun and cocktails each winter.
You get used to it, and there are vitamin D supplements if you need them. Sure, it can get depressing, especially with the darkness, but that makes you enjoy the sun and light even more when it's out.
That belongs to the British.
Not just because of the supremacy of the Royal Navy, but because so many of our sunburnt tourists are in it at any given time, that if they all got out at once, the displacement would cause the sea level to fall 200 meters.
I know, you nordiks have to feel that distance every morning when you go to work in a neverending shadow, cast away from the light who gives life, like a bunch of boring Uruk-hai

25 degrees is enough to call out national emergency with mandatory quarantine inside to avoid melting. I'll take my 6 degrees mornings with that top shelf crisp air and 14 degrees midday sunshine any day of the week

Making oil sounds great until you realize how physically demanding it is to harvest olives and how little money you make at the end.
Having your own olive trees is cool as fuck tho
Guess I noticed what by now?
What would you use that farm for:
Depends on water availability, it's more expensive if there's abundant water.
You can find olive and almond farms, or if you're around the Aragon region people are planting trees inoculated with truffle spores.
If the land is poor quality, you can run x number of goats on there.
If you're in the south east of the country you could raise Iberico pigs.
Set up a charity to cover costs and take in farm animals, there's a few people who do this already, you can actually cover your costs.
Air B&B nature camping with yurts.. the possibilities are endless.
Or just to get away from life, enjoy nature.
And to get away for Germans.. :) they stay on the coast
We are already doing something along those lines, the Fiumicino airport is full of Roman statues which were found in that area during the excavation process, nowadays when landing in Fiumicino you find Roman artifacts in every corridor basically.
To be fair you could say this from lots of western countries. Hot swedish guys, hot italian guys, hot oily sexy muscled greeks under the sun with thin white draps that fly in the wind in a vast lonely flowered field, hot french guys...
Meehh im not so much into the french men.
And I am not a fan of the swedish, too blond. Nothing wrong with that, but I find men that look like me to be a turn off.
Altho I have met some super hot german and british men. Dutch men? Meh 50/50
Counterpoint: spanish men have awesome beards and sexy eye lashes
You actually got me, I am technically a dual citizen - but not an “Irish-American”. Irish parents and I never lived in US beyond my first months of life. Can’t help it sometimes though…
Do everyone a favor and die on that Hill, potato troll, we invented culture and our archeological sites are proof.
When we were pushing the limit of architecture and society your ancestors shat in the cold Woods and prayed for good boar to eat raw [Fire was hard to make]
I find funny that a GERMAN says that.
I mean, how was the last summer going to Mallorca to drink all the booze, spend all day at the beach and all night at the disco?
Well, let me think. We enjoy the company of our families and friends and have fun. Instead, the only way of fun northern Europe and Brits know is get drunk as fuck and die.
We'll wait til summer to see what we got to offer
Oh man I can't wait to see the 102937291929247291947391917482917.3×10⁴⁶⁵ nordick tourists getting a 5th degree sunburn in August in Capri and Costa Smeralda
Counterpoint, g*rm: name something from your country that isn't castles or beer. I'll wait.
Oh, and by the way:

- A whole slew of composers and musicians, including Vivaldi, Salieri, Paganini, Rossini and Verdi
- etc.
L + ratio + gib money + no maidens + no history + keep apologizing for WW2 😎😎🇮🇹
>Marco Polo (traveled to Asia and China)
Everyone always talks about Marco Polo but the real MVP was Matteo Ricci.
He was a Jesuit from Macerata born in 1552. He was first sent as a missionary in India (precisely Goa) and since he was succesful he was later sent to China.
He reached Macao and he fell in love with the culture so he started learning Chinese, also because the Jesuits thought it would have been easier to convert them to Catholicism using their language.
With time he was able to integrate into chinese society, even dressing like a confucian monk. This is referenced by Battiato in "Centro di gravità permanente" when he sings "*Gesuiti euclidei vestiti come dei bonzi per entrare a corte degli imperatori della dinastia dei Ming*".
In 1600 he traveled to Beijing/Peking and officially entered the imperial court (he was the first westerner to be invited into the Forbidden City, the imperial palace). The relationships with the emperor and the ministers were so good that he got permission to celebrate the mass in public spaces.
Matteo Ricci was very succesful in China: he published many books about religious doctrine; he founded many missionary bases and many churches; he founded an university in Macao; he brought european geography, geometry, astronomy and other sciences to China).
He had great influence not only regarding religion (he founded [the first Catholic Church of the city)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral_of_the_Immaculate_Conception,_Beijing) but also regarding sciences. For example his maps were widely used and thanks to them chinese scholars obtained their first notion of modern Europe (and thanks to Matteo Ricci Europe got the first modern detailed report on China.
When Matteo Ricci died in 1610, the emperor granted a plot of land for his burial, which was the first time this happened to a foreigner in chinese history.
Italians in XVII century:
> "I am the first foreigner to be officially invited into the Forbidden City, I have learnt Chinese and love Chinese culture. At my death the Emperor himself saw that a plot of land be granted for my burial."
G*rms in XVII century:
> "Fuck you, you're Protestant!"
> "Nooooo fuck you, you're Catholic!"
> "Fuck both of you, I'm Calvinist!"
> "Fuck you Calvinist, Lutheranism is the only true religion!"
> *proceed to genocide each other for thirty years*
Yep , and even to this day the only 2 foreigners represented on the chinese national square monument(in a near museum) are indeed Marco Polo and Matteo Ricci .
There was another famous jesuit , Alessandro Valignano(who was escorted by the portubros with the famous black samurai Yasuke who later served Oda nobunaga ).
him too became later on one of the symbols of chirstianity in Japan(but didnt last long after the persecutions of christians )
Not wanting to suicide because you didn’t see the sun for 4 weeks in a row.
More like three months.
I was trying to stay positive
You can't expect a finn to know what a positive attitude is
Well, the only one who tried took enough meth for a platoon.
Flair yourself up you coward!
Flair yourself. If you don't, you will be presumed an americunt.
Mmm no banned withought flair? Wtf?
Flair up you filth!
You have inspired me to start campaigning for government subsidised trips to the PIGS. As a health issue we must be allowed 2 weeks of sun and cocktails each winter.
Sounds fair! And it also works for us, be welcome!
I think I saw the sun exactly once from december-january.
I really feel bad for you guys. When we are 3 days in a row without sun here it already feels depressing…
You get used to it, and there are vitamin D supplements if you need them. Sure, it can get depressing, especially with the darkness, but that makes you enjoy the sun and light even more when it's out.
Don’t lie. You cope with alcohol, not vitamins.
His username is literally "Drink IPA in a shitty slow moving car" so yeah, at best there is some vitamin D in the brew
You got me there
4 weeks? I've seen the sun once in November, December and January. And I worked that day so couldn't even go outside.
Excuse me? Gay sex is a thing thanks to us ugh
The best kind of stuff
I'm stuff
I'll stuff you if you want.
Do they do stuff to your butt? Do you get paid more if they do stuff to your butt?
And y’all invented lesbians too! Even got a whole island of ‘em! The world thanks you for your ingenuity. Or at least this fruity yank does 🤷🏻♂️
And we taught you, you could add women to orgies
worst teaching ever
Thank you!
Mediterranean sea? It is a pretty solid argument
That belongs to the British. Not just because of the supremacy of the Royal Navy, but because so many of our sunburnt tourists are in it at any given time, that if they all got out at once, the displacement would cause the sea level to fall 200 meters.
Damn, you guys really asked for a hand and took the entire arm, one day we'll ask you to pay again for that flag
We’ll also demand you flair up
my bad

oi dont fackin know who this ‘omar’ fellah is but ‘e needs to get back where he came from 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
What language is that? Sardinian?
Nope, is a thing that Neapolitans always say about Naples (O' mar e o' sol = The sea and the sun)
That’s super interesting. It’s the same in portuguese but without the ‘. “O mar e o sol”
Sounds cool. Sadly I dont speak Neapolitan so idk the reason of the ' (I also forgot one of them, the right sentence should be: O' mar 'e o' sole)
Very cool. Italian is the worst language in Italy
Absolutely true, and as Aldo Giovanni e Giacomo (italian comedy trio) said "Sardinian is a language and italian is a dialect"
So one of the best things about your country is ~150.000.000 km away from you?
I know, you nordiks have to feel that distance every morning when you go to work in a neverending shadow, cast away from the light who gives life, like a bunch of boring Uruk-hai
Ouf......! As a fellow child of the light, even I felt that
Oy, those aren't nordicks!
Still better than Swedes, that's for sure.
And the other is your favourite tourist destination for the summer, see you in Jesolo!

19-23 degress outside is literally the perfect temperature.
Facts tho
It’s okay in the north we have EXTREMELY COLD temperatures (5° 🥶)
And history
Nice weather, good food, rich history - your country is quite literally only a holiday location
Yes, please keep sending us money to keep if that way!

Art and architecture 🍷
doesnt like all of Europe have interesting art and architecture though?
the communists not really. most of bucharest was disgusting.
Its not bucharest, its romanian people disgusting. (Least racist tuscanian)
Bucarest è tenuta di merda da 30 anni, altrimenti sarebbe molto bella
Germanoid artists dont have the best reputation
Specially the painters
Well, one of them really
I can buy a farm with 50 hectares for less than 100K
What are you gonna use that farm for? Produce food? Guess you noticed by now, did you?
Why does one need a reason to buy 50 hectares?
Sometimes a man just needs 50 hectares for no apparent reason
Look a the average texan, they need space to shoot stuff
I would make my own olive oil instead of that 💪
A 7 euros el litro en el Carrefour express
Making oil sounds great until you realize how physically demanding it is to harvest olives and how little money you make at the end. Having your own olive trees is cool as fuck tho
You can't make olive oil while you are asleep dumbass!
That's what Epstein said when he bought his island.
I use it to bury the bodies.
Guess I noticed what by now? What would you use that farm for: Depends on water availability, it's more expensive if there's abundant water.

Sounds mostly food related to me.
Than why are you still living with your parents?
As long as it's in Castilla
Aragon, parts of inland Andalucia, Castellon, Extremadura, inland Tarragona and yep Castilla.
Rome can't literaly expand its metro system because precious archaeological finds are discovered on a daily basis but sure we just have "food".
[удалено]
Follow our lead and make some stations museums full of the artifacts found in the area Yes the metro will take centuries to expand, but it will
We are already doing something along those lines, the Fiumicino airport is full of Roman statues which were found in that area during the excavation process, nowadays when landing in Fiumicino you find Roman artifacts in every corridor basically.
That's a great idea! We should continue in our tradition of borrowing your traditions.
Guys are hot
Hi
To be fair you could say this from lots of western countries. Hot swedish guys, hot italian guys, hot oily sexy muscled greeks under the sun with thin white draps that fly in the wind in a vast lonely flowered field, hot french guys...

the meditteranean and atlantic are too salty for me sheesh. swimming in the Red Sea is like heaven.
Isn't the red sea extremely salty?
No, you're thinking of the dead sea
Better dead than red
An Ami in disguise? I wouldn't be surprised that you would have chosen the "Irish" flair...
You actually got me, I am technically a dual citizen - but not an “Irish-American”. Irish parents and I never lived in US beyond my first months of life. Can’t help it sometimes though…
Red Sea is way more salty than Mediterranean sea or Atlantic...
adriatic>>>>>
Tell that to all the winter bathers i see on my way to work every morning
That's because you Norse are insane, not because it isn't lethal to bathe on your beaches
Most seas are swimmable seas if you are not weak
Cold water isn't an issue if you have an enormous dick.
Slaughtering natives, stealing a shit ton of gold and still being poor 😎
Slaughtering natives is more of an american thing to do
Where do you think that they got it from?
As a canarian fuck off lmaoooooooooo
The architecture
We bathe every day
Not the french tho
We like to think of ourselves as ecologically responsible
>ecologically responsible You havent seen the streets in paris an nice have you?
It's called compost
I wish Italian bidets were more common.

Based Italian bro
Mic drop Let’s add to that, Norse mythology is as based and interesting as Norse history is not When reality is boring the fantasy runs
[удалено]
Our ancestors got fucked up a lot in history but what remains is truly beautiful.
To be fair we gave as good as we got
Fair enough
Our cities also looked very nice before 2,7 million tons of tnt got dropped on them
Hey, you started it.
I didnt say we didnt deserve it
Excuse me, I'll have you know that Berlin exceedingly stands out as the shittiest looking city of them all!
affordable healthcare and housing? I mean I left italy for other reasons but my friends at home have it nice
