Believe it or not, according to CNNgo.com(the sister website of cnn.com), Nepalese people are ranked as the 10th coolest people nationwise. Well, it is a thing of debate how they call an entire nation full people cool!! But anyways, just the fact that Nepalese were counted as the 10th coolest people is really cool.
Here are other nations that made the list:
11.Belgians
10. Nepalese
Like all pimps and players, you’ve never seen a Nepalese in a hurry to get anywhere. Yet from this mellow-gold group have also come the feared Nepalese Ghurkas, among the toughest fighting men in the world, and Sherpas, who you might know as semi-outdoorsy types.Icon of cool: Tenzing Norgay. Reached summit of Mt. Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary, but casually stepped aside and let his hiking buddy hog all the credit.
Not so cool: Draconian government regs and local ne’er-do-wells turn off a fair amount of travelers.
So YAY! to us!
9. Chinese (!!? i know)
8. Botswanians
7. Japanese
6. Spanish
5. American
4. Mongolians
3. Jamaicans
2. Singaporeans
1.Brazilians (of course! i agree! also one of my favorite movies is from Brazil; City of God. Read more here: my top 150 movies)
The website writes about the Brazilians
“Without Brazilians we wouldn´t have samba and Rio carnival; we wouldn´t have the soccer beauty of Pele and Ronaldo; we wouldn´t have the minuscule swimwear and toned bodies of Copacabana beach; and we wouldn´t have certain eye-watering procedures performed with wax.(very true :) )
Unless they´re using their sexy, laid-back, party-loving reputation as a cover for exterminating dolphins or invading Poland, then we have no choice but to name Brazilians as the coolest people on the planet.
So, if you´re Brazilian and reading this, congratulations -- although, since you´re sitting at a computer instead of showing off your six-pack on the shoreline, you probably aren´t that cool yourself.
Icon of cool: Seu Jorge. The favela-raised performer´s soulful Portuguese-language Bowie covers make you wish Ziggy Stardust was from Brazil, not space.
Not so cool: Mmmmm, Brazilian meat and cocoa -- so delicious, but farming´s destruction of vast tracts of rainforest leaves a bitter aftertaste.”
Well it apparently looks like they have made “cool” very separate from “relaxed” (since it doesn’t include the aussies) or “stylish”(since it doesn’t include the Italians, French or any much Europeans for that matter). Also the “icons of cool” and “not so cool” sections are very true! So if you’re reading this, cool up and don’t let the nation down! J
