What a dumbass. I might be worthless but atleast I dont risk the lives of others. Worthless worthless fvcktard.
couldnt agree more. Thats where the bonus of having public transport comes, we havent had drinking driving accidents for years here.

Lindt pisses me off. I have a hungarian friend who refuses to eat any other chocolate because he loves lindt so much.

Its not bad anyhow, but its the chocolate of snobbish people here.

Milka is pretty good but Lindt is way better. You should convert

Milka sucks. Lindt is way too expensive and snobbish. There is no middle ground chocolate. Its milka or that.


The choice here really sucks all over the board.

In Bosnia we:

  • drive on the right side of the road
  • hold our forks with our left hand
  • dont line up in queues in an orderly fashion
  • signal a taxi any way we want
  • never negotiate prices
  • greet people by shaking hands or waving, or kissing on the cheek
  • most arrive on time to meet people, but I rarely do

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

In general of course....this doesn not apply to everyone.

  • The driving system is like the USA and we have a lot of highways.
  • Many don't follow traffic rules (speed limits, driving in your own lane, stop signs..etc), therefore it is chaos for beginers.
  • People are very rude, unless they realize you are a relative of a friend or have ANY distant relationship with them.
  • Our main dish is called "Kabsa" (components: Rich and Chicken) and we eat with our hands.
  • People rarely line-up orderly in a line.
  • Public transportation is terrible. Most people have cars.
  • We either arrive too early or 5 minutes late for meetings.
  • People are very racist and superficial where having a nice car and a cool cell phone is what matters.
  • Except in supermarkets, prices are always negotiable.
  • A lot of places to eat and places to shop.
  • Most families have maids, drivers and more than 2 cars.
  • Everyone from outside of Riyadh hates the city.

In other words, for most of those points, the Islamic teachings of how to deal with people are pretty much disregarded/ignored.

Thats the only chocolate, along with cadburys caramel.

Add rolo's to the combination too.

Cola is also like water in america. Its goddamn everywhere!
