    NL, tips on how to differentiate countries in Central Europe based on text:
    - Poland - Besides the ł (crossed L) that you already know, the only Slavic language where W is common.
    - Czechia - Ř (R + v) that you already know. There's also Ě (E + v).
    - Slovakia - Ľ (L + ' , 18:00), Ä (A + two-dots), Ô (O + upside-down v). All are relatively rare though, so if you've seen enough text that has 'v' accent over consonants but nothing from the other countries, it's probably Slovakia.
    - Hungary - Not Slavic, they have accents only above vowels but not consonants (as Slavic languages do).
    - Croatia - J is quite common, especially as consonant-J-vowel (23:49, 1:01:52). The same applies to Slovenia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina (I don't know how to differentiate those).
    - Romania - Â (A + upside-down v), not Slavic.
    The rest of Slavic languages use cyrillic.

    Houses in south america look unfinished because people tend to be really poor and families tend to be big, so if the house is livable enough (proper roof, doors and windows) it's unlikely it will see further investiment unless it's expanding to house a new family member or tenant. Aesthetics tend to be left aside.

    Tips for yellow license plates:
    -If you're in Europe and the cars have yellow license plates on the front and back you're in either the Netherlands or Luxembourg.
    -If the yellow plate is on the back only it's the UK
    -If you feel you are in South America and the cars have yellow plates on the back it's Colombia.
    -If you're in the middle east and there are yellow plates on the back it's Israel.

    In case anyone wanted to know the answer to "Why are the houses not done?". In some countries houses are a family thing where all generations live together. When the next generation of the family gets married and want to move out they instead move into the "unfinished" floor. This can often be seen in places like rural italy.

    "Ulica" is also a word in Polish and it also means "street", although in Poland we usually shorten it to "ul.". I think this same word appears in Slovenian and Slovakian languages too. What I'm getting at it "ulica" does not mean you're in Croatia but it should mean you're in one of these four countries - Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland (although there could be a fifth I don't know about).
