There's something about Germanic cultures - maybe it's the social isolation (less family-oriented) which seems to make people at least appear more miserable. It's the same from the UK to Denmark to Norway. The Netherlands might be kind of an exception though, they seem a bit more exuberant. I'm with you, even though I'm no extrovert the colourful, extroverted atmosphere of the Latin countries naturally draws me more.

Germany is very family orientated. Rather direct which can make sound serious but also I find more open and far less superficial than Americans or increasingly Australians and New Zealanders.
I would rate the Dutch equally as honest if blunt as the Germans. Both are far more open with sexual matters than the Anglo countries mentioned as well.

Suicide is more an issue further north and east(Hungry,for example) But is a big problem in what I would term socially isolated and conservative countries of Australia and New Zealand....

Germany
Netherlands

only met a few romanians , found them to be quite latin in charechter , charismatic , nothing like hungarians who are dour and cold yet without a german style honesty , found it to be an utterly corrupt country

That´s a shame because there are so many great people here, especially in Andalucía.

Nepalese.

I've met quite a few Gurkhas in my time and was fortunate enough to go to Nepal to watch a selection when they were attached to the same Brigade as me.

Fantastic people.

I don't like this ranking of peoples/nations/cultures. It smacks of the worst sociology to come out of 20th century pseudo-science.

Some people yes, but not an entire country. Is it okay to say all Irish are drunk racist bastards?
