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?

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.
