Answer 2

And which are those countries?

I saw this picture on El Mundo, and it sank into the mind, how beautiful it is. It is very grim and sorrowful, but still shows such a strong love to one's country. And the comment under, as I remember, was un hombre sostiene la bandera chilena.

If you google the news you'll see the countries... but does it really matter which those countries are? :) - Benz, Mar 7, 2010

Of course generally no, just my curiosity about European countries. :) - swing, Mar 7, 2010
