Re: The Post your Picture thread!!

OK, don't worry, everybody is happy again!

And in reference to the "poor country" bit I don't think that a country may be considered as "rich" or "poor" on an economic basis, I think that the cultural and historical heritage is far more important than the economic one and in this aspect Serbia is NOT a poor country. In fact I have a very deep respect for the countries in Eastern Europe. Your recent history is harsher than ours and you are struggling to come through all this.

There are a lot of inmigrants here in Spain from Eastern Europe. I've got some students from Romania and they are really admirable. They always work hard and they've got a lot of respect for and interest in other cultures whereas the spoiled children who are "native" (whatever that means) have a tendency to be lazy (their parents give them almost everything with no effort on their part). They are the ones who I consider to be "poor".
