<p>@Raith
I didn’t even know about that stereotype :D</p>
<p>@Sunny
Seriously?! That Germans are complete perfectionists and are one of the most efficient “races” of people?! :P</p>
<p>@rishav Well the greatest english prep I have evr seen or heard!!:p</p>
<p>Basically English tests are fun here. So I don’t think there is anything to worry. Just fill out the first and last lines of every answer with relevant matter and the lines between with the story of Lincoln!! You will get an awesome score!:D</p>
<p>@Raith @Sunny</p>
<p>I have heard that stereotype some thousand times until now!!!</p>
<p>@hopingforbetter
Exactly! :P</p>
<p>Coming to sleeping moments:
My Hindi teacher comes to class.
“Good afternoon ma’am” (The class is always in the afternoon)
She opens a textbook and starts narrating a story. She happens to complete two lines and someone does something stupid.
“Eyyyy be quiet. I want a pin-drop silence”
She starts the story again. And once again someone disturbs her after reading the first two lines.
“Eyyy I said you all to be quiet. Why are you making noise during the class”
She starts the story again!!! (lol:D) Actually she never completes a story!!</p>
<p>This <em>trend</em> goes on until most of the students sleep or the class time ends!!!
Loved all those crazy moments!!:)</p>
<p>Haha, that is actually pretty harsh :P</p>
<p>We had a teacher who could talk about anything for ages… we made a competition out of it and tried to see who could come up with the best topic/discussion that would get him talking for the longest xP the top time was about 45 mins or so… and I think top topics were; his dog that he brought to school, the school dog, sheep, Germany and England :P</p>
<p>@Raith
I just looked up on Google “stereotypes of Germans” and noticed there are many other stereotypes I have never heard about :D</p>
<p>@Sunny
Haha, I think I’ll check it for South Africans :P</p>
<p>^Haha you atleast had the teacher talk about animals or countries. In my 9th, my Physics teacher always talked about spiritual things. Like he said he saw ghosts!!
He worked in a church. So he said he cured many people who were ______(what should I use? incarnate? Some spirit occupied a human body:p). He also named the Gods (some referred to as the God of spirits or something like that) who occupied those human bodies. LOL that was so funny.</p>
<p>He narrated an incident. He was coming home from a church program that day and the way was so deserted that he can only see the light from his bike’s headlight. Suddenly he saw a person on a white costume(hehe :p). He stepped on his brakes and happened to crash that person. But when the bike stopped, there was no one there. Then he calmly started again. After a few miles, he found the same person asking for lift and so he gave him a lift. That person was talking so dreadfully about dead people and stuff that my teacher got frightened. When he saw through his side mirror, he found that the person had no feet(hahahah). Then my teacher stopped his bike, took out his Bible and started reading something by closing his eyes. When he opened his eyes, that person was gone. END.</p>
<p>MOral: God and scripts related to God are very powerful!!!</p>

<p>Well I honestly believe in ghosts and a lot of spiritual sorts of things (though with a more scientific approach).
For me God doesn’t really feature, He may help others, but not me :P</p>
<p>But that is a wicked story! xP</p>
<p>Well he was supposed to teach Physics, but he actually taught us Bible and stuff!! He’s probably got absolutely zero knowledge in Physics!!:p</p>
<p>
I would like to know your scientific approach dude…Come on take as much time as you need to type the text but type it however!!</p>
<p>@hoping
At our school was a Parapsychologist. He told the class that he saw flying stones and he helps people who think there are ghosts in their house. It was really weird :D</p>
<p>Hahaha those are pretty hilarious
Though to my understanding the cows are true for some parts, and you guys do have many Gods compared to other “main” religions. The rest I can’t comment on :P</p>
<p>For South Africans;
-Why are we white?
-Do we ride/come across lions, giraffes etc in our daily life?
-We were for slavery… Apartheid was separation, never owned anyone
-We live in huts
-Where in Africa are we? South… Africa!!! haha
-We have a lack of technology and infrastructure…</p>
<p>I have however heard a couple Americans say that they consider that South Africans are one of the top “party” nations… which I have trouble arguing against ;)</p>
<p>Indians have some 330 million Gods, they say. but it’s like everybody is free to worship his favorite idol. SO you don’t see a person worshiping 5-10 Gods.</p>
<p>
I have this question always when I see South Africans!!</p>
<p>It’s like “Do they ride/come across…”</p>
<p>I feel awful, I really thought there are cows everywhere in India (except of the big cities) 
</p>
<p>Raith, the best one is “Where in Africa are we” </p>
<p>German stereotypes</p>
<p>we are very punctual
we are cold and reserved
we love beer and bread
we have no sense of humour
we are unromantic
we all have dogs
we love football</p>
