NATIONAL STEREOTYPES
Italy
Usually, when we think about the Italian people, the first think that come in our minds are his food: In specially pasta, pizza and ice-cream; but in this country every food aren’t these. They often eat pasta, yes, but also vegetables, meet, soup…
Other important think is their way of dress, in Italy are a lot of good clothe designers: Armani, Gucci, Prada, Dolce&Galbana… , but a lot of people, the majority, wear informal clothes, tracksuits and trainers.
One other think, are their behaviour. We think that every Italian people are extrovert , communicative or talkative, but it isn’t true, it’s wrong; almost there are shy people.
The next characteristic think of the Italian are their beauty, in specially men, people think that every men are handsome, but it isn’t true, the truth is that there are a lot, yes, but also are ugly people, for example their president Giorgio Napolitano.
This stereotypes are wrong, there are very different people around all country, and it make the world a better place to live.
Spain
The Spanish people are very lazy, They sleep in the midday, the “siesta”, this is a very good think because it helps you to rest and forget the morning stress, and you can start the afternoon more relaxed. In Vietnam, some business, give to his workers some time to sep at midday, only a few minutes, but is enough to increment the production 15% in only two months.
The most famous Spanish meals are: Tortilla, black wine, “jamón”, olive oil and the paella. They also eat too more food and most of theme are a little bit fat.
Other important think are his way of talk: they talk very high, fast and rude. Sometimes, they say some swearwords, and it make the language ruder. The last think is their way of dress, often are fashion, but usually are informal and comfortable. In some special times, the typical Spanish dress, the “flamenc” dress, with a “peineta” in the hair.
Japan
The japanese people, usually, are short, with a little bit yellow skin, his hair are straight and black, and usually short, his eyes are almond, little and dark, usually black. When the summer com back every citys begin to fill with japaneses and theyr cameras, they take photographs to everythink, and it can be very annoying, also, they film, and it is worse. Theyr character are modest: they are punctual, considerate, shy, quiet, laborious, and sometimes, they can be too much painstaking and tidy. We can see every this caracteristic thinks in theyr restaurants, when we eat theyr most popular food: Noodles and rice with some extra spices and strange sauces, like the soya sauce or bittersweet sauce. In theyr country theyr are a lot, and this is the reason why ther are a lot in some different countries.
