Whats your favourite country (apart from Ireland)

What country do you love he most, be it for the language, culture, lifestyle, people or the weather.

Im a regular visitor to France, i love the language, the people and the way of life, most particularly in the south, where they are rather different to the people of the North. It, for a relitvely small country is very diverse with culture and landcape.

I love the US, but does lack the culture bit, ive been to many places and i find it hard to match the French

So i suppose pipping the US to top spot would be La France

Finland - the people are lovely, the language is cool, the country is beautiful and its generally a great place to visit. Also The Netherlands is pretty cool. I love the cities, the lovely flat countryside dotted with windmills and again, the people there are so friendly.

I really like France because the French are so polite, even if it seems contrived it's better than how most Irish people speak with eachother!

I like Italy too, the people there are very nice and the food is delicious!

Canada. Definitely. Been to Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto and love the place. Banff is the nicest place on earth, imo.

I have favourites, but for different reasons, some of them may seem silly to others...

Argentina - I love to tango there!
South Korea - Korean communal Bar-B-Qs, plus taekwondo in Kukkiwon
Jamaica - To scuba dive in the warm clear water and dance to the drums
Hawaii (in USA) - To surf the waves and shop the flea markets

Balmed Out · 15-03-2008 02:22PM

Love Spain and just about anywhere that speaks spanish and has been touched by its relaxed atmosphere.

javaboy · 15-03-2008 02:25PM

Croatia. Previously it was Portugal for a good while, before that it was Brazil, then Romania, Argentina and Germany before that.

:rolleyes:

Been there a few times and wouldn't agree. Of course we met some lovely people but when you go to the big cities people generally seem quite up their own arses and unfriendly, particularly those who work in the tourism sector. I'd be an asshole if I had to work in the tourism sector but I doubt I'd get hired.

Of the places I've been, Germany & Austria have been savage. Places I'd love to go to are Japan, Canada and New Zealand.

holland

FunkZ · 15-03-2008 02:43PM

Canada, and I'd live with the Trailer Park Boys if I was there.

The people are supposed to be very friendly and it snows there.

Quoting for no discernable reason ^_^

AckwelFoley · 15-03-2008 02:44PM

Ilove the Mountains of Austria, and the ppl seem alot more friendly than the Germans, .. the Germans tend to dislike the Irish

Unaton · 15-03-2008 02:51PM

Germany and Netherlands (lived there for a while). Know both languages too so it's easy to find friends among the locals.

Was in Berlin for a few days recently and that they were very friendly and open to Irish. Kept meeting people whod been climbing mountains, hill walking, boozing here.

Charlie · 15-03-2008 03:32PM

Tis a toughie, I love the U.S. but I think New York has a lot to do with that.

But as other posters have said, Canada ftw. Been to Toronto and Vancouver and both are savage. I could easily see myself living in Vancouver, a city that literally has everything. Surf in the morning, and skiing by the afternoon. British Columbia as a whole is spectacular, a world within a world.

Xavi6 · 15-03-2008 03:35PM

Australia for me. I absolutely love it here. Went to Fraser Island over Christmas and it's the most beautiful place I've ever been.

Honourable mention also to the US cause it has Chicago and Vegas.

Ruu_Old · 15-03-2008 03:37PM

Germany, if only for the Bavaria region. Absolutely stunning. I wish I had stayed a bit longer.

Nail on the head there Snyper, the south of France is great and the people, for the most part, are quite nice. Have spent a few summers in Perpignan and would go back there in a second.

You do realise its the region of referring to..

Gran Hermano · 15-03-2008 03:42PM

Northern Ireland, it's only a couple of hours away but feels more like
a different planet than a different country.

Nalz · 15-03-2008 03:42PM

Only been to England, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia and Latvia

Portugal was nice.... but Latvia was by far the best buzz me hads.

Slovakia was a lump of frosted poo

Holland (Amsterdam) and Croatia is next, Croatia is meant to be really beautiful and Amsterdam....well erm...is good too!

Well if I didn't like it then there'd be no point being here....

TestTransmission · 15-03-2008 03:54PM

Funnily enough,Fraser Island isnt in my opinion the most breathtaking/beautiful spot in Oz.

It's actually the nicest beer for the money. I think I may name my son after it.

True...

Perth is not one of the places people think of when going to Oz, particularly because of the distance away from the more populated and "popular" south east Australia.

Whats the attaction? I know very little a bout it.
