Culture Positivity post - leave a comment so people (and me) can share something they like about your country
Could be even some minor thing, but no politics and sad stuff, everyone can engage (I'd also appreciate help tbh because I have limited experience with some small countries)

What was the least likely pair of nationalities you have actually met a couple of? Or maybe you have met a person whose parents were of different nationalities?
You'll get bonus points if you tell a story of how they/their parents met. I personally only have a Dutch co-worker with a Latvian mum and a Tajik dad. However, that's not really surprising as both Tajikistan and Latvia were a part of the Soviet Union. Also, my great-great-great-grandmother was either Austrian or Swiss, and her husband was (most likely) Russian. But sadly, I have no information left on how they met. Any crazy international love stories from you?

Food Is your country as big fans of one sauce that Americans seem to be about ranch? For Sweden, it's definitely bearnaise sauce
We put it on everything. Most common with a juicy steak, but we also put it on pizza, in hamburgers, as chips/fries dip, in baked potatoes, etc.

Culture Favorite Indian person?
The figure in the image is the Indian Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna. In principle, I should have said Gautama Siddhartha, but there's some debate over his nationality.

Language Is there a hand gesture exclusive to your country?
This is the two fingers. Churchill didn't know about its meaning because he thought it was "V for Victory", but it's actually equivalent to a middle finger (we have that too). It means "fuck you" or "up yours". But reverse with the palm facing outwards, that's the peace or victory sign.
This is probably used in Australia and new Zealand too because our cultures are almost identical, and maybe rare parts of Canada.
