Hey Tealeaf!! I'm back from my siesta, it lasted all evening, alml night and all mornign!! You know these Italians, always asleep, never get any work done - not that I'm generalising of course..........

I haver to say that as far as Germans are concerned, I had the following experience:
I went to live there for a year and went open-nminded. I came back though instead with a stereotypred image based on experience. Of course you can't generalise too much, but each culture does have certain traits that are in-bred across the whole country. This, I guess, comes about because we watch the same TV programmes, here the same jokes etc etc. I would NEVER live in Germany again, though I have many German friends that are lovely.

What is the current sitation within Britain (and especially Accy) itself? Britain is a multicultural society with a large number of Asian immigrants and British-born people of Asian origin. Also, is it true that a lot of East-European asylum seekers are entering Britain? Are there any in Accy? What are the feelings about this?
