It seems to be the way that the Western world is going

yeah, but I'm not too sure I like it. I spose it's kind of inevitable, so I should just let it be.

What is the stereotype of your country, do you think?

'prim and proper', lol. We don't all walk around in suits, but there does still seem to be the 'stiff upper lip' sometimes - some things are still difficult to talk about.

It's wierd though, a guidebook that (what's the opposite of "bigs up"? "smalls down"? "belittles"?) belittles the country it's written for. Almost as if it's persuading people not to come and visit.

That said, it seems there was bias reporting the guidebook, so who knows what the guidebook is actually like?

It makes me happy you have a soft spot fot my country. And you know what? I love yours :)
