I want to know things that are typical for your country - typical for you. I am really bad at explaining things, but I hope you all understand a bit more after reading my little list. Hehe. Every country have things that are typical for that country, or that country is known for. And on your list you add those things that are typical things about you again. Oh god, hard to explain. Just read the damn list and write your own, okey? =) Or... yes, just try.

I was born with skis on

Well, here in South Africa, we have this list of things that is typical here :

1) Rugby is more important that work.
2) We invented Braai.
3) Our national anthem contains 4 languages in one.
4) If your car is stolen, you can probably by its tyres back a few blocks further
5) We have huge walls around our houses to keep criminals out
6) Our police force is more corrupt that our jail-cells.
7) Our army is looking for more men
8) People here refer to plurals of certain things as animes, pokemons, sheeps...
9) We hurt the black people in our country with a thing called apartheid. Now it's happening the other way around

This isn't really what you meant I think. Let's see :

1) I don't have a single poster in my room in my own language.
2) I don't have a single CD in my room in my own language.
3) I dislike the top two.
4) I am probably the only South African that doesn't like Rugby.
5) I own a Fiets.
6) I am also probably the only one who can say grap, and not make it sound like "grab" with a p.
7) I have never seen snow in my life.
8) I live on a huge platue.
9) Whenever I visit friends they are either a) Watching Rugby, Drinking beer, c) Eating braaivleis.
10) I can only speak 2 of the 11 official languages of my country. =P

That's about it. Go figure. ^^
