Hey int, What are the "patriotic" symbols in your country? (Besides for your flag, which I think might be a given). For example, in the USA its the bald eagle, the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, the Statue of Liberty, possibly Mount Rushmore, some astronauts (particularly on the moon next to the flag) or some troops (like in this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKk_sMR2_S0 ; or some vintage Revolutionary troops). I'm particularly interested in the "smaller" nations on this one.

>>5920764 There's a German exchange student in my Graduate school program, and when we had a social at the school museum (with a section on the Wild West), he literally said that Germany had nothing interesting like that in all of its history, until you got to the Romans.

This is the 'casita de Tucuman' or it's official name: "Casa Historica de la Independencia" (Historic house of independence). The 9th July of 1816 was declared independence on this place by the delegates from each province of the 'United Provinces of River Plate'.

>>5921681 Ik heb het pas onlangs ontdekt en ik vond het vrij hilarisch, deels vanwege de Surinaamse creolen-slang. Ook leuk: Indiërs die zwarten “allochtoontjes” noemen, zwarten die Indiërs vertellen dat Indiërs niet blank zijn, en van die dingen. En interessante onderwerpen zoals “mijn poentje heeft dagelijks veel kaas, hoe kom ik ervan af?”.

>>5921903 Mag ik vragen wat jij bent, etnisch? Creools, Hindoe, Aziaat..? Het is soms wel raden naar wat de creoolse termen beteken. Ik weet dat Surinaamse termen wel straattaal zijn in Nederland, maar we hebben hier voor zover ik weet geen Surinamers, en dus ook geen Surinaamse invloed op straattaal.
