Nick Kapur

@nick_kapur tried doing a german map like this for asia but almost everything I got was just "so expensive" or "developing country" :/

@cszabla Aww, too bad! Maybe try doing a German map of Europe? I bet that would be a riot.

@nick_kapur gah, this is methodologically frustrating. did you check yours just once or multiple times, and did you eliminate newsy queries?

@cszabla Are you using "warum" in your queries? That works best. "warum Japan" "warum Japaner" etc.

@nick_kapur yes, but soo many different results depending on where you place it, whether you use a verb, country name or demonym etc.

@cszabla I start with "why country" and take the first result that is not a statement of fact. If no result, I go to "why demonym." No verbs

@nick_kapur @MegaMogwai Dude what happened to my country Slovenia :O fucking Serbia fuck sake hahaha we are not even on the map

@XENON312O @MegaMogwai I searched for Slovenia but unfortunately the autocomplete didn't return any non-tourism related results in Japanese.

@XENON312O @MegaMogwai (or perhaps fortunately?)

@nick_kapur OMG do you know "Hetalia"?

@goldmemories I've heard of it, but otherwise, no! Is there a connection here?

@nick_kapur Well, is an anime/manga series and World's history and national stereotype is narrated, and result are very similars

@nick_kapur interesting overlaps

@nick_kapur I don't get it. Why Poland = stupid people?

@jaason This is actually an American stereotype. I'm guessing Japanese people got this from Americans.

@9YbrUHWt @jaason @microtaro @kmic67 @sususususuuuu @Maria_di_ I the used same query format as the China map, which uses "why" (なぜ).

@nick_kapur @jaason @microtaro @kmic67 @Maria_di_ Yes, I figured out by @sususususuuuu 's help. Sorry.
