Hello, Citizen of the World

Most countries are best known globally by the character traits of their people. The following are the traits and values I admire most. Please note that these are the countries I'm only familiar with or whose citizens I have come across. And also I believe there are lots of things a country can be known for. I hope you can add more, would love to hear it. So far, this is what I've observed, national traits that I love the most:

British diplomacy and wit
Australian spirit of adventure and friendliness (sense of mate-ship)
Japanese industry and discipline
Chinese excellent business sense and thriftiness
The French's good taste
Italian passion and craftsmanship
Kiwi good-naturedness and gentleness
The Greek sense of family
Irish luck (hehe),love their music!
Swiss precision
Brazilian beauty
Indonesian artistry
American bravery


And of course, unabashedly biased :) the Filipino creativity/ingenuity, great faith and sense of community.

What is yours? What describes your country and your people?
