The rhythm is good, but can be achieved otherwise: "...and 2 Koreans", say.

Date: 2012-06-14 05:34 am (UTC)(of course the Balkan crowd up there would have already found
something to niggle about at each other, the Albanians would object to
being seated next to the Serbs, we don't know what ethnicity the
Cypriot was and thus whether it was safer to seat him next to the Turk or the Greek, the Americans would be worried about whether sitting down with teh Cubans would get them on watchlists back home, the Andorran would be heckled about whether that was even actually a country, the Czech and teh Slovak would either fall on each other in brotherly love or begin bickering bitterly in the background, the Scotsman would be talking independence and annoying the Englishman while teh Welshman cheered them on and the Irishman just sat there smiling bitterly... need I go on...?)
(Why, yes, I am European. Why do you ask...?)
