What if the world was just a neighborhood. What would each country be? Well, I was playing around with this idea with Allison and we came up with some interesting ideas. I'd like to point out that what we came up with is not necessarily how we think, but rather how we feel the general population of the US think about these places. Also, each country's role in the neighbor hood should be unique if for no other reason than to keep it interesting.
USA - that's home.
Canada - our neighbor who thinks they're better than us, but for some reason steals our best ideas.
Mexico - the house that has three large families living there and they're all poor, hard-working people.
China - Wal-Mart.
India - the call center.
Japan - electronics store.
Germany - car dealership.
France - a restaurant (there's only one restaurant in town because every country could be represented by their food, so we picked the one that's most famous for their food).
Italy - the local coffee house.
England - school (because of that dang accent, many Americans think that Britons are smarter than us).
Switzerland - a candy shop.
most of South America - the forest that keeps getting chopped down to make a cattle farm or the Home Depot were all the illegals wait at to get work.
the Middle East - the bad part of town that has all the gas stations.
Australia - the beach.
Africa - part of it's the zoo, part of it's the local jewelry store (it seems that most Americans think of Africa as one country).
Vietnam - nail salon.
Korea - dry cleaners.
Greece - art studio that also employs architects and philosophers.
Siberia - ice house.
That's all that we came up with so far. What do the rest of you think? What did we get right? What did we get wrong? Who did we leave out? I may update this list, if I get any good ideas from the rest of yous.

I would have made Italy the restaurant and France the bakery. This is an interesting idea.
