Hah, Czech Republic is definitelly introverted. Many Americans ask us why don't we smile. Czechs always answers we smile when there is a reason and we are honestly baffled at the ability of Americans to talk WHILE smiling, exposing almost whole set of teeth. (when I was actually going to be exchange student in the USA on the application they required a photo with toothy smile and I had difficult time with it and felt like a damn horse).

Also, it's considered very rude to sit next to someone in train or bus when there is a free seat elsewhere.

And we are not huggy and all that. Gotta say I love Czechs with our facade of negativity (but being able to laugh of occupation. One Nazi called us human beasts). Honestly geopolitically this approach works. Also, before there was "trolling" there was "Schweiking", which is the same thing, only was done earlier.

So not sure where would I move. I'd miss the abrasivness of my nation and the Czech bread.

I cannot imagine myself in Asia, being self-conscious of being a "giraffe". As much as I love Asian food, I am very Central/Eastern European in my heart.
