OK...so here's the name of the game:

Name THREE things that symbolize your country of residence/birth/origin. I am looking for examples of things that are "purely" nationalistic.


For instance...someone might say the following about America:
* Apple Pie
* Baseball
* The Flag

But I want YOUR interpretation. What makes you feel at home in your homeland?

LOL @ Osuche......I'll admit that my first thought about things which symbolise Great Britain were:

Underage binge drinking
Tabloid newspapers
Political Scandals


All very British, but not particularly great!
