lol, the word "cheers" isn't European...

...It's English (England/U.K. is very independent from the rest of Europe), and Mr.Fishy (above) agrees with me. :cool:

Oh, and the Americans stole it for the T.V. program of the same name. So I'm guessing that Americans who say cheers, watched the show "Cheers" on T.V. at some point. :rofl:

Well, when I think of Europe, the first thing that comes to mind is the UK (and Kazakhstan, of course).

And I never watched Cheers. I never got to go to a place where everyone knew my name, unlike Norm (but I wouldnt know that :p).

The only time Americans say cheers is when they're drinking or they're trying to fit in with Europeans and I sure dont see any alcohol around here.

The U.K. isn't the first place most people think of when thinking of Europe, I hardly ever think of it myself (even though I'm sitting/standing on/in it). lol

The 3 countries in Europe I mostly think of when the word Europe is spoken are:

#1 - France
#2 - Italy
#3 - Germany

I can almost guarantee that if I asked 50 people here in the US to name one place in Europe 90% of them would say the UK.

I really think of Europe in two parts, Eastern and Western.

I agree that the UK is more independent than the other European nations, but its still a part of Europe, whether it's independent or not.

and you would be wrong. They would most certainly not say the UK (who cares about wales?) if anything 'England'.

I'm quite sure continental western Europe would win out.

That's probably true, but they would probably just name all the places from the movie Euro Trip. lol

Europe is usually talked about in two ways by the American media.

Method #1 - Old European stereotypes by country.
Method #2 - Europe is superior to the US (they imply that in a few shows).

Yes, you can learn quite a bit from extensively searching topics on Google and other medias.

I am actually watching a T.V. documentary series called Wild China on bbc.co.uk/iPlayer (an online T.V. service available in the UK), it's very factual. The wildlife of China is very interesting, before I started watching that series I watched a three part series called Visions of the Future (also on iPlayer) with Michio Kaku.

There are many decent media sources online with learning materials in media form, which very useful if the area where you live there is a lack of resource in local bookshops and libraries. Which in my case I just get on a train and goto a library 28 miles away, and make a day of it.

You mean video form, not media form. The internet provides books too you know. In ancient times people were able to use it to communicate text to others. Enjoy: http://www.archive.org/details/texts

Which is exactly why I'm sure he either meant multimedia or video, as he was saying how he can't find anything to read and has to resort to watching video documentaries.

No, I read Wikipedia (and a few other text based sources) aswell as watching video documentaries online, and reading books at the library.
