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?

I haven't seen much of the world yet. My dad was set on Germany and later Austria for holiday destinations. When I started going myself I visited Spain, Switzerland, Italy and Portugal. I've also been to Budapest (Hungary), Prague (Czech) and Krákow (Poland). I've been to England a couple of times because of family.

But lately I've been to Portugal a couple of times. I like the Portuguese people, the food, the wine, the environment in general, the ocean... I've taken to learning the language as well.

I prefer southern Europe because a) it's Europe so still familiar but the climate is better, as are the views. But there is still so much to see...

Well I tried. We spell it Krakau in my language.
