Back when I worked in Europe, I observed the "rather sip coffee all day than work" and found it appalling. But to my surprise when later I worked in the US, there were many people that were sipping coffee all day there too; this was when my personal American dream shattered, and I learned that nationalist identity is bs.

Since I admitted that to myself, I've found awesome people because I was looking for them. From Seoul to Moscow, from Amsterdam to Seattle, from Santo Domingo to Lima. Yes, there are also Germans that are super awesome hard workers between 4 week vacays.
