simplepimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/international_problem_solving.jpgCountries in the left column: Germany, USA, Russia, China, Great Britain, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France Countries in the right column: Iceland, India, North Korea, South Africa, Greece, New Zealand, Brazil, Finland, Sweden, Jamaica Though I am not good at symbols. Which are the symbols of USA and Russia? I also like to point out that "Problem" is spelt lika this in Sweden too, what's with the "Ö". But solution is "lösning" in Swedish, so there you have the "exotic" "Ö".

I think the US one is "send a drone [and bomb them]" The Russian one is handcuffs. Put all the problems in jail! Ireland and Finland are oddly similar. And Jamaica, in a way. And tea in Britain!

In Ireland they drink beer, in Finland vodka. Finland (like Sweden and Russia) belong to the vodka belt). And alcoholism has long been a problem in Finland. I remember drunk Finns "Saatana perkele!" (Perkele was a heathen god of thunder.)
Has the symbol of Jamaica something to do with marijuana? I think Jamaica - reggae - marijuana.
Actually I don't understand the New Zealand symbol either. They like barbecue grilling very much in N.Z.?

...and broke the tags! I think in Finland there was some confusion. They opened the bottle and someone suggested they make a toast. Someone shouted out "To the Finnish" and was misunderstood!
