Travel is a lifestyle! We enjoy travelling! We enjoy starting a day thinking only what to see today, what to eat. We enjoy meeting new people during travels, exchange opinions, joking. Jakub always asks people from one country from what they are making fun of. First I thought that it's weird, a bit rasist. But then I realised that it describes a way of looking at their reighbours perfectly. And what they think about their place in a world. It's possible to notice some archetypes. We discoverd this in Morocco. In jokes Moroccans perceived themselves as a really clever guys. (Like we Polish!)
Example:
The Morrocans and the Algerians are fighting in the trenches. Everything has quieted down and nether side is winning.
A Morrocan soldier turns to his buddy and says. “Hey I have an Idea. What’s the most common Algerian name?” His buddy thinks for a second then replies. “Hassan I think.”
The first soldier shouts out. “Hey Hassan!”
A Algerian soldier pops up from his foxhole “Yah?”
Bang! The morrocan soldier nails him in the head.
They do this a few more time before the Algerians get wise to it.
An Algerian soldier turns to his buddy “Whats the most common Morrocan name?” His buddy replies “Its Mohammed.”
The Algerian solder yells out. “Hey Mohammed!”
“Is that you Hassan?”
“Yeah?” Bang
But we don't remember clearly which name was most common Morrocan name and which Algerian. Our Morrocan friend added that he didn''t have problem with Algerians, that they were all brothers. We heard really good jokes one night on the dessert...
So Polish joke about German and Russian. (Polish always finds a way out of every situation ;), Croatians about Slovenians (How Slovenians go to the sea? One by one..), Moroccans about Algerians, Brasilians about Argentineans, Argentineans about Spanish (who in colloquial speech are Gallego - Galician, because many Spanish from Galicia region went to Argentina to work). And what about Spanish? They mostly joke about themselves. Among the autonomous communities.
