Date a Girl Who Travels, pt. 2

Stereotypes of foreigners based on the ones I’ve shared a room with

This post goes out to everyone who has ever asked me if I know any seamen, domestic helpers, or factory workers, because (and I quote) those are “the only Filipinos they’ve ever met”.

1. Australian – invent stuff; secretly have abs
2. Cambodian – REALLY AWESOME FRENCH ACCENTS; probably like bread a lot
3. Chinese – travel in packs; turns out they’re all related
4. Czech – champions of the white man dance
5. Danish – know more about your country than you do
6. Dutch – …please put on some pants
7. English – deceptively younger than they look
8. Estonian – like Unicorns, i.e. super rare (except in hostels)
9. Finnish – blonde
10. French – look great in overalls
11. German – tall
12. Hungarian – alarmingly good looking
13. Indonesian – will never stop talking
14. Israeli – large, bald, and intimidating
15. Japanese – obsessively clean
16. North American – perpetually shirtless and on the phone
17. Polish – I love Polish people. That is all.
18. Portuguese – also alarmingly good-looking
19. Romanian – Romania gave us the Cheeky Girls, so let’s just think about that for a moment
20. Singaporean(s) – hate Singapore
21. South American – I’m sorry, I’m too busy mopping up my drool. Where are you from, exactly?
22. South Korean – of course I’ll help you practice your English; will pay for everything
23. Swedish – blonde
24. Swiss – will also pay for everything
