I love German culture, but my bold above wouldn't normally make it into most people's lists for reasons to be proud of Germany... although I have enjoyed reading about the history of the HRE, it was often a mess and not exactly always on the right side of history.
By the way, cool info about Serbia, makes me realize that I know too little about that country. And you say you're in Cape Verde now, and have also lived in Bosnia? You've lived a lot of places! Have anything good to say about Bosnia and Cape Verde?
Well I have oppinion that humans alway have some kind of mask over they faces , and only times they remove that mask is in battle and in bed . Solely surviving such a great battles shows streinght of German nation ,and they almoust won against whole world - and that I consider a great ting , for same reason I consider Napoleon , Caesar , Hitler , Charlemagne , Stallin , ... great rullers ( evill or god is another question ) .
Well any state make a mistaces , and I dont believe there is god or bad side of history only interes of state .
I have a lot of god to say about Bosnia : for me Sarajevo is one of most beautifull cities in world ( that I have see) , not so much because of buildings , but because of specific spirit, slower , relaxed way of life . My favorite music is Bosnian sevdalinke , especially Safet Isović . I love multiculturalism of Bosnia - Muslims , Ortodox, Jews and Catholics in one place for last 5 centuries , aldo it vas severly destroyed during II WW , and last war ( 1992-1995) . Ivo Andrić that I was allready mention was born and spend his youth in Bosnia, so his ancestors are from Bosnia , I would mention one more very god writer from Bosnia Meša Selimović . Bosnians are less warlike and most helpfull peoples of all Balkans. Most beautifull girls I ever have seen were from Banja Luka . I love Herzegovina because ancestors of my father come from there ,...
I am new to Cape Verde , and I spend a lot of time abroad ( east North Africa) , but I can say they girls are very beautifull -creole ( they inherethed beautifull eyes from Portugal girls ) . It is very fast growing economy , one of the best states to live in Africa , aldo there is some poverty to . Beautifull ocean and hotels . Music is mixed Portugues and African and I like Portugal music ( fado ). Languages are realy dificult for me both Kreol and Portugues , aldo I know some Latin , and few words of Italian and Spanish .
Thanks for answering
