Well, in Spain that happens too 8D we can understand it too!

Almost every country is feminine in spanish, lol

[identity profile] alvanista.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Most countries are feminine in Polish, too. And some are plural. That's half of the reason Hetalia made me rotfl so much after I discovered it.

[identity profile] zero-rechter.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
except for US (Estados Unidos),UK (Reino Unido), Japan (Japón) and Egypt (Egipto), the rest are femenine.

How cool, you're polish. Envious me is envious.

[identity profile] alvanista.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
uh... aside Włochy (Italy), Węgry (Hungary) and Niemcy (Germany), the whole Europe is feminine. Stany Zjednoczone (USA) are obviously plural, and... Asian, African and South American countries are more or less evenly divided (read: I'm too lazy to list which is which)

... there's something cool about being Polish? I never knew! :'D I, uh, mean that it's nothing special. Certainly not typical inferiority complex. Not at alllll.

LOL HUNGARY IS MALE IN POLISH? Lololololol~ that makes a LOT of sense ♥

Yes! I mean, at least your national anthem has lyrics and it includes Napoleon Bonaparte lololol~♥. At least here, Polish guys as long with the rest of the baltic states are supposed to be hot and polite. I fell in love with a polish man once :3 he was my french teacher. Oh the irony~ and with a girl once too 404.

I'm half mexican and half spanish. I can't even be nationalist. But even if i was complete-spanish, people here just hate their own country or kinda. Long story.

[identity profile] alvanista.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... the ones I listed are plural, actually XDD Taiwan would be male, though.

Wow, the Bonaparte part is the most controversial part of our anthem XDDD Mainly because he promised a lot, gave little, and historians can't agree whether it's good that he gave ANYTHING or that it's bad that it was so little. ... and, lol, I have a hard time imagining polite Poles XD Maybe that's because the best ones moved out of the country and only the worst have stayed, ahaha.

I'm... half Polish and half uh-lithuanian-belarussian-ukrainian-russian-the-documents-were-lost-when-grandfather's-family-was-forced-to-move-west. Which is ridiculously common nowadays - to the point where most of people I know (myself included) might as well be nobility, but there's no proof. :'D

Controversial anthem kicks ass, my friend ♥ you should be PROUD!. Y'know, Spain was supposed to be friends with France during that times. But suddenly Napoleon attacked and well, Spain didn't care much. Nobody understands why they gave up so easy but i think was because they are lazy bastards.

If you think your country is impolite, that's because you haven't been to Italy or South Spain. Believe me. I always think twice before asking anything in a store they are always screaming.

It is common, but i think it is all around the world. We're all mixed up specially in Mexico. I used to live in Cancun and no-one seemed to be mexican. BUT YOU ARE ALL THE SLAVS AND BALTIC COUNTRIES ALL ROLLED INTO ONE.

So, you have more than 2 nationalities? One more reason to be proud about.

[identity profile] alvanista.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
... oh, that was when Napoleon used polish army to fight the rebels in Madrid, right? (I've seen Goya's paintings in Prado, but I really can't remember the dates right now, sorry. Only that it happened in... May, was it? Argh, I'm really sorry.)

I've been to Italy multiple times, and I thought the people were very nice, actually! Same goes for the French, I've heard they're ignorant and obnoxious bastard, but if you're somewhere not-Paris and you try to speak French (as bad as it is), they get very smiley, nice and helpful. As for Spain... I've been to Madrid, Barcelona, and the coast near the border with France, but I didn't notice how the locals behaved for some reason XD;

But in most of the world, you usually know those nationalities XD The only part of that giant mixture I'm sure of is Belarussian... And, while having a hilarious bloodline, I think I'm Polish, born and raised, patriotic and such. Though how I manage to be patriotic without believing in ... national martyrism, I think it was, or without being nationalistic, it's beyond me. :'D

[identity profile] zero-rechter.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
French people are polite except for Paris, i agree. But in Italy everyone yelled at me T_T.

I used to live in the south of Spain (Andalucía) and it's way different. Inside Spain, it's known as 'la malafollá' granaina' (literally, Granada's bad fuck, referring specially to Granada city).

Since i was raised most of my childhood in Mexico, i'm used to their manners (to use 'usted instead 'tú (different uses of 'tú' depending of the respect you want to show) or not yelling, please), specially in public places, stores and television.... well, that must be it.

And about Barcelona, it's funny. They treat you kindly if you are foreigner, but if you're spanish and you don't speak catalan, sometimes they can be really rude. Just sometimes, of course.

I don't know where i am from. I've been raised in too many countries i can count, even if i have both nationalities, i don't feel mexican or spanish at all. My mom just doesn't like to stay in a country longer than 2 years.

Me and my best friend are planning a huge trip to the baltic states, slavs countries and northern europe (we have been saving money for a year already). Just to check how's life there, and i'd like to find out if i feel like a foreigner everywhere i go. So, when i read Hetalia i just died in laugh.

super long comment is long. I'm sorry, i'll stop the spamming. But this is hell interesting..

[identity profile] alvanista.livejournal.com 2008-11-12 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe I've just been too North for them to yell. :( I've heard scary stories about southern Italy but the south-est thing I've visited there were Pompei, and that didn't allow me to meet much people from that area. Living ones, I mean.

Granada... it's the city where the poet Lorca was born? Wow XD; That's a... very unique way to call a part of a country. XDD

What I remember about Barcelona is Gaudi, cold (I was there during the last week of December), a guy stripping on a monument on the 31st and an awesome subway. Clearly, I fail at being a tourist.

VISIT PRAGUE, OMG. PRAGUE. AND -- LWÓW. I HEARD VILNIUS IS AWESOME TOO, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE AND I MUCH REGRET IT. not only because I'm such a shameless Lietfag. And don't go to Warsaw unless you're prepared for what you see, since most of the city was destroyed after the Warsaw Uprising, and the commies rebuilt it in a way that I can only describe as most ugly. (We did get a lovely "present from Stalin" (http://www.marketingandmore.pl/uploads/pics/pkin.jpg) though. Has a cinema, theatre, museums, and it was the hottest suicide spot in the 60s - what's not to love?) What I'd reccommend from Poland is the Trójmiasto - Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot. They have some lovely architecture and atmosphere.

Lorca was born there and murdered in Granada (you can visit his house at Garcia Lorca's park (http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1355/1372616302_de9bdaefff.jpg?v=0)). They gave him 3 shots in his anus because he was a fag i'm not lying, that's what actually happened. If i'm not wrong, Lorca and Dalí were lovers even when Dalí was married. In fact, Lorca assisted to my school (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TvkfS6SdWzY/R8FMfnnLo8I/AAAAAAAAFeM/Qfar1FV3sCM/Granada+(2580).jpg) :)

LOL the first time i visited Barcelona i just asisted to the Salón del Manga (something like... the spanish Otakon). Thank god i could visit it again.

In Italy, i just visited Rome and Venezia, i lost my wallet and i had to go back home earlier :_ i'm a tourist full of fail too.

The nicest treatment i've ever received in a country was in Ireland. I just loved it, i love Ireland. The people are so so so so so nice, and the food is so tasty (yes, it IS tasty ;_;)...

You truly are the most awesome person on the net. Or at least the nicest, i'll write down all that cities, seriously, me and my friend are looking for adventure but we're so made of fail that we just don't have a clue of where to start.

WE WILL START IN WARSAW, FOR SURE. Lithuania is the country with highest rates of suicides, right? The hottest suicide spot in the 60's... that must be disturbing. But i want to go. I'll save enough money to enjoy all those countries and all the cities i can visit.

Warsaw is... Varsovia in spanish, i think x_x.

Warsaw is not THAT ugly, I live there D: There is a few nice places like Lazienki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazienki :) Warsaw was such pretty place before war http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=ESP6xlrineI&feature=related (after war http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=V1qkPD0r3v0&feature=related);____; I always feel sad when people write that this city is ugly even if there is some truth in it >__<
and socrealistic architecture can be funny - esp statues of workers and stuff xD

I'll visit everything :3

A friend told me Krakow was specially pretty. Is that true?

[identity profile] radittz.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
i think that this is most representative Polish city(previous Polish capitol) now - and one of not many in really good condition after war ;) do different comparing to Warsaw and definitely worth a visit :D

[identity profile] zero-rechter.livejournal.com 2008-11-13 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yey! :3 Poland will be the first country we will visit. And how's nightlife in Poland? Party party party like in Spain?

I also live in Warsaw and I absolutely love it, but I think it can be a huge dissapointment for tourists. :<

Your blood is the result of a gigantic orgy between Ivan, the baltic brothers, her sister, Feliks and that androgynous radioactive girl named Ukraine. Sexy. Someone should ask something like that @ hetalia-kink.

AS A POLE, I AGREE SO HARD. ;____;
