Consider me a weeb but I like Japan, it has some truly beautiful nature and cuisines to try across the country.
Yes, there is a bit of that anime or gaming side to it, they’ve birthed many favourite nostalgic franchises of mine like Crash Bandicoot or Pokemon.
I also really like their architecture with their traditional houses and castles, the whole thing just seems really peaceful and tranquil given it it is a “quiet and polite” country.
Their country might be set in their ways but that is what I think makes the country special, keeping its traditions, beliefs and culture for many, many years.
My bro likes Spain because of their food and hot sunny weather 😎
What about you? What country do you like and why?
Norway. There are many reasons, but the big big one for me is the absolutely incredible nature AND the ability to properly enjoy it via Wildcamping. Being able to simply venture out into the forest for a weekend is such a nice thing.
New Zealand
Scenery so ridiculously beautiful they filmed a movie there known for ridiculously beautiful scenery, pleasant climate year round, legal weed, not likely to be a target of invasion, one of the few places to embrace their native population’s culture (Granted partially because the Maori put up a tremendous fight)
Yeah, I don’t want to be rich to be rich, I want to be rich to be able to move to New Zealand.
Seconded
Top of the list of countries that I haven’t been to and just admire from afar: Peru. Now I’m sure someone is going to come in here and ruin it for me.
No, it’s a beautiful country, the people are nice and the food is great. (Maybe visit first in the dry season though.)
Don’t mean to be a dick but Crash Bandicoot was created and developed by Naughty Dog, a US company. It was published by Sony for the first several years, though.
Australia.
Stunning nature, nice people, killer animals; what’s not to love?
have you ever worked for a japanese company? i don’t think you can know a country simply by visiting it.
my impressions of vietnam at 1 year and at 5 years with a family and a business are completely different.
Probably Iceland. No one bothers them and they don’t bother anyone. Doesn’t get hot, fjords and geysers to look at, puffins, bubble hotels, cool metal scene.
I agree,and I’m from Iceland. People who come complain about the weather though.
I second Iceland. Every time we’ve gone through or visited, though, the volcano near grindavik gifted us with a solo and a light show.
Like, it’s cool to be appreciated, but I wanna try out that posh blue spa thing. I’ve saved my money!
The people seem happy; even the cab drivers. Everywhere we went people seemed to be happy and helpful and nice. Either they all have their tourist game tight or they’re really just great people.
China, it’s pretty much the only country where meaningful progress is happening right now.
I like Germany. I’ve never been and never a German but I really admire their architecture, design and culture towards building and design. They have so many cool festivals with music and food. I’m also jealous that Europeans can just scoot over to other countries so easily.
I like the Scandinavian countries for some reason.
My favorite country is China. I like that it has a lot of Chinas. There is Shenzhen-types of China with high-tech and Xinjiang-types with endless nature. Also I like China for its politics
Just vacationed in Belize. Tiny place near Guatemala and Mexico on the Caribbean. It’s the only English speaking country in South America; founded by English pirates who wanted to steal Spanish gold. Great food, friendly people, and interesting history.
Netherlands seems to have it’s head screwed on
Just as many crazies. Just a different political system that doesn’t give them power.
If it wasn’t for the shitty European weather I’d be seriously considering moving there, tbh. Have become fully orange-pilled over the last few years.
SAME
Honestly I quite like it here. It’s obviously not perfect but when I compare it to other countries we do rather well.
Honestly my biggest complaint is that it’s so full. I recently visited Norway and the vast forests and just untamed nature is gorgeous and the air quality is great. But then again nothing is really far away in the Netherlands so ups and downs.
It entirely depends on the context.
The simple answer is that my favorite country is where my employment and loved ones are, the USA.
For travel, Probably Spain. I’ve always felt that the mix of relaxation and adventure is perfect there. I’ve always loved southern Chile, but it’s a bit too rural to feel entirely comfortable. There’s always this awareness of how much trouble I’d be in if I screwed anything up.
Call me chauvinistic but France is absolutely special in many ways. The diversity of landscapes for a country this size is absolutely mad, not even considering the Outre Mer. The history is insanely rich, the culture is definitely worthwhile, and I’m not even talking about the food and its sheer diversity.
The problem is us, Frenchies, we’ve definitely lost our spark and are getting propaganded to hell. It’s a very sad state of affairs.
Less chauvinistically, I really like Norway and the Nordics in general.
Exact same, holy shit are we lucky to be here. I can’t see anything that could make me go live elsewhere honestly.
