British people love their royal family and only eat fish and chips? Polish people are super religious and spend their holidays at the Baltic Sea? Canadians see a moose every time they leave the house and are crazy about ice hockey? The Swiss shoot apples off their children's heads and eat mountains of chocolate? Finns spend their entire summer in a mökki and endure long, harsh winters? There are certainly motifs, animals, or objects that are typically associated with your country. Let's have fun searching through the cliché box of our home countries this week! Or maybe you'd like to turn this topic upside down and show the 'real' life away from the preconceptions about your country.

This theme is expired. Check out the current one: The beauty of subtle tones.
