Jules Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Awesome list. The utter lack of wilderness leaves me baffled for the Dutch entrance though. :rofl:
NYRangers92 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 exactly, they have no first-hand experience and look to google for help
Patrick Bateman Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 I also laughed hard at the Israel one
LindG1000 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I sense some tensions between Argentine and Brazilian desires. Those poor Colombians just want cupcakes, man.
Fuhgeddaboudit Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Poland: how to delete Facebook I really got a kick out of this one...
LindG1000 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Wait. Colombia moves a lot of cocaine. Cocaine is addictive. Cupcakes are addictive. Colombians want to learn to make cupcakes. They're trying to either smuggle cocaine in cupcakes or corner the market on addictive substances.
Jules Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I figured out why "How to survive" is the Dutch one. A famous Dutch writer's new book is actually called that, but obviously in Dutch ("Hoe overleef ik"). There's apparently also a new television show called that. This is disappointing.
