Inspired by the "what countries have you visited thread"

Well, for some reason i just loved the Czech Republic more than anywhere else I have visited. Cant explain why it was my favourite place though, there is just something about it and the woman and beer aint bad either!

Germany, everything so accessible and easy to get around without a car no matter what part of the country you live in.

Thailand.

fell in love, nearly died about 10 times, and broke my neck all in a short 6 weeks there.

Sweden...for obvious reasons! ah no, great country!

Creamy Goodness · 29-06-2006 10:16PM

Necronomicon · 29-06-2006 10:17PM

Funny story:

Me mate was in Italy and got me a keychain, so I thought I'd get her somethin in Japanland, so, I was in this food shop, and bought a box of Fizz sticks for her. So the next day, I was dyin for some sweets, so i thought, ah ill eat the fizz and get another box tmoro

So i ate one tube, and i was like, wtf, theres no taste! then i tried more, but they all tasted the same, then I read the box.....

It was sugar

Poland.....went with a good group of people. Was absolutely excellent! Was staying with people from all over Europe, weather was excellent, visited Warsaw, Krackow.....fantastic place, and I have great memories of the whole experience.

JustCoz · 29-06-2006 11:00PM

Holland, Amsterdam, what a city! Not for the obvious reasons. I was just amazed by it, all the bikes and so much culture

Sweden - way up north in Kiruna - above the Artic Circle in February. Beautiful. Amazing.

Nightwish · 29-06-2006 11:12PM

Austria - where I was, up in the Alps was stunning. The air is so cold, so clean. The snow is gorgeous, the mountains were so impressive. The area was just so beautiful and isolated. The town I stayed in only had 100 people living there and the serenity was so calming. I'd live there if I could speak German.

I'd say the same, everything is really cheap too.

Scotland. They're just like us

Same here, has to be Canada, with Italy in a close second. I've been pretty much all around Italy, venice being the highlight, but the raw, untouched landscape of Canada with its prairies, mountains, endless forests and lakes, wildlife everywhere and amazing panoramas right outside the local walmart. I've never been anywhere in the world that has made me feel so alive. When i think of how I dread a 3-4 drive to galway or kerry, but I drove for 10 hours straight through Canada and enjoyed every minute from winding, precarious mountain roads to flat straight roads that trail onto the horizon, to glaciers, to stopping to allow bears to cross the road. If your the kind of person where its all about not where your going but how you got there, Canada is the best.

Japan.

Norway also rocked, but not as much as Japan.

Id have to say Germany. Theyre nothing like us!

DoctorEdgeWild · 30-06-2006 01:46AM

New Zealand for me - Just like Ireland except for no Irish people. Or at least not very many, meaning there is more stuff going on than just drinking.

Anyone thinking about heading over there, I'd recommend it (slightly) over Australia. It's just a bit different and pretty easy to carve out a life for yourself over there.

R0ot · 30-06-2006 03:48AM

Poland, loved it, never felt so much at home anywhere else (besides home that is)

Hagar · 30-06-2006 08:17AM

France. I stayed.

blorg · 30-06-2006 11:11AM

On balance Spain, particularly Galicia. Spain is a really beautiful country with a fantastic amount of variety.

Mr. Presentable · 30-06-2006 11:21AM

Not having been to very many countries:
France
Spain
Germany
USA
England
Wales
Scotland

My favourite is Italy, easily.

Travelling around the Greek islands, magical, nothing like it!
Never have to go to the same island twice (however, if anyone is planning it, stay far far away from Eos, the 'Irish' island - tis horrible.

Miss Fluff · 30-06-2006 11:42AM

Saudi Arabia

mada999 · 30-06-2006 11:43AM

USA - been to east coast and west coast...loved it!

Greece for me too.

Outside the 'village' Ios is beautiful and almost undiscovered. I'd definitely go back. Faliraki and that awful stretch of North East Crete are much worse.

Everywhere in the Cyclades is incredible, plus Lesvos in the North East Aegaean, Symi in Dodecanese, Hydra in the Saronics - I could go on forever. Wish I was there now. Roll on retirement.
