Description:

What's the first thing you think when you think about France, or Japan, or Colombia?

Here's a list of States/Countries of the world: for each one, you have to write a list of words (at least three) that remind you of that Country. For example: France --> Eiffel Tower, fois gras, Sarkozy, Mont Saint Michel, champagne...

You'll send the list to 5 partners.

(I included also states of the USA as single Countries, I hope this is not a problem)

  • Afghanistan
  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Austria
  • Brazil
  • California
  • Cameroon
  • China
  • Cuba
  • Denmark
  • Egypt
  • Ethiopia
  • Finland
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Haiti
  • India
  • Ireland
  • Italy
  • Jamaica
  • Japan

  • Mexico
  • Morocco
  • Netherlands
  • New York
  • Romania
  • Russia
  • Spain
  • Texas
  • Turkey
  • Ukraine
  • United Kingdom
  • Vatican City

General rules: newbies are welcome but I will check each profile so if you have some latest 1s or 2s, please send me a message if you can explain that. DON'T write in the list anything offensive, like: Italy --> mafia or Afghanistan --> talibans.

Uh..these are technically Countries, not States.

I thought this was going to involve some kind of associations with states, like "Massachusetts=Boston Baked Beans, Lobster, Red Sox Baseball", and "Florida=Kennedy Space Center/NASA, Disney World, Flamingos", etc.....

I think the title is confusing, since it doesn't really involve States at all.

I'm sorry, it's just a language mistake, as in my language Countries and States are synonyms. I'm sorry for my bad English :)

No problem Virou - we get the idea.

I have signed up - love association swaps interesting to see how many we get the same and sometimes I surprise myself by what pops into my head - LOL (laugh out Loud).

If you run it again may suggest an alternative title like - Places & Ideas .......just a thought

@ Simone: thank you for your suggestion :) And I promise I will improve my English XD
