country!!!!! obviously

famous people or sterotypes.... keep it within the bounds of respectabilty as it is for school kids learning english

eg. she is english, she comes from england

so far i have:
england the queen
canada a mounted policeman, a mountie
peru a man witha funny hat (what are they called, those hats. i need to find pic on google)
russia lenin/stalin
switzerland someone eating cheese/looking an idiot in a field with cows
german don't say hitler!
italy ?
china ?
japan ?
welsh ?
bosnian ? there is a bosnian in the class who is very quiet, want her to say something. not molosovic.
Polish ?
american ? prob some patriotic dick dressed in stars'n'strips

any ideas/other nationalities welcome. (oh, i'm in germany if that helps focus your minds)

cheers

You may like to remember that she is the Queen of more than just England.

Other than that, an excellently pointless post.

Why don't you try searching Google images?

But there's everythig you want to know about traditional Peruvian costumes here:

http://www.myperu.org/traditional_clothing_peru.html

And on the subject of hats there's always the sombrero, baseball cap, deerstalker, tam o'shanter, stetson...

Switzerland:

If you suggest Milosovic was Bosnian you risk getting strung up.
