People from different countries: how many nation states?

Question

Another question prompted this. How many people from different nation states have you met and talked to (in my case in English)?

And in my case in England.

I will have to get an atlas and run through the list.

Answer 1

I'm French, but live in London. Here, I've met Mexicans, English (only a few seen as there's not that many in London), Jamaicans, Nigerians, Spanish, Germans, Italians, Albanians, Turkish, Polish, Kenyans, Swiss, Portuguese, Algerians, Colombians, Ecuadorians, Argentinians, Americans, Australians, New-Zealanders, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Khazak, French, Saudis, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Koreans. Think that's about it. That's a lot of people man !!!

Answer 2

This is a hard question to answer as there are changes nearly daily and it depends on who you ask. I would take the 243 from Wikipedia. If anybody wants to dispute it remind them that Wikipedia can be edited with minor qualifications.

Answer 3

Thousands and thousands. I have travelled a lot so have met lots of foreigners. the world is a very interesting place and so ar its peoples. the more you interact the less racist you become and realise that people are more or less the same everywhere...nice people...cranks....facists...the lot!!!
