Having lived overseas for bit of my life, I'm loathe to characterize any country with my own preconceptions. I'd rather just hear from people there if I can't go there -- a major reason why I enjoyed the recent Mig-23 thread.

Drawing from my own experiences, I just think people are people wherever you are, and one does find all of the assortment in any country you can name.

Full disclosure: I've lived four years in Iran, most of one year each in Spain and Saudi Arabia, and a month in New Mexico, which counts in my book.

A lot of people I knew worked in South Africa, I thought "The Limpopo River" was invented by Kipling for years.

Internet facts have replaced "Just So" stories for reliable information.

That could also be because folks in Virginia are friendly while the folks in Death Valley are perpetually angry and very unwelcoming to strangers

Probably is, theories about fertile land, water supply and habitability are given too much credence.
