"Italians are born actors, and their whole life sometimes looks like one long play. They are also born swindlers, and among them there will always be people willing to risk everything for easy money... The Italian legal system has a rich tradition and has a huge number of laws covering almost all cases of injustice and wrongdoing. On paper, the Italian criminal and civil codes look almost flawless. The problems begin with the implementation of the law. The laws would be perfect if it were not for the Italians, who deeply do not care about them."< /p>

"The Germans take life with incredible seriousness and disapprove of any manifestations of frivolity, all sorts of accidents and surprises. The Germans prefer not to break even those rules that greatly complicate their lives, and are guided by the principle: everything that is not permitted is prohibited. The Germans are obsessed with order. “Order above all” is their favorite saying. In order for everything to be in the best possible way, the Germans are ready to approve deliberately tough policies and extremely harsh laws."

"You can understand a Spaniard, but for this you need to learn that above all he puts his own pleasure. Anything that does not bring this does not exist for a Spaniard. One can say about the Spaniards that they are unpredictable. If you are in Spain, forget about the old saying: “In Spain, behave like a Spaniard” - because the Spaniards themselves do not know how they will behave in the next minute.”

Travel motto: He who knows more gets into less trouble.
