the country thread :)

This thread is for talking about our country.
I'll start with mine

I live in Portugal. It's in the east part of Europe, next to Spain.

We have nice monuments in several places and great beaches, especially in the Algarve. In Lisbon you can also see the mechanical lights (haha ).

I live in Norway. Many people thinks that Norway is a cold land in north,
well yes, it's colder here than it's in Egypt
But the temperature can easy come over 30 degrees at summer(south in Norway).
We have a beautiful nature,woods,mountains,more woods,rivers and fjords.
Norway is also known as the nation of peace

the cod fish that portuguese ppl eat is from your country

yupe norway is popular with cod fish.. the cod fish sold here is from norway too most of the quality ones..

I live in Singapore.. A very tiny country actually.. really tiny that u cant see it on the world map..

I who live in Norway didn't know that
I think I've got some sirious problems

Portugal is also a small country, but the people are very nice. At least I am!

I live in America....
............... I think that about sums it up

We're not original, we steal, and we're definetly not friendly.

It is. You can't walk down the street without someone shouting abuse at you or seeing a fight or a drunk.

I live in America.

I like it.

I wouldn't want to live in Canada. All they've ever given us is the Hart family and strange circular bacon...

^^
Well I'm never goign to England then

I live in Northern Ireland and it's a nice palce and here's a few Northern Irish vids

I like in the UK. =) not much to say really, it's cold and rainy most of the time.....xD

And... I live in Philippines. So yeah, part of Asia. There's nothing really fun in here, of course I've been here for 13 years so that's why I'm saying it But, yeah, there are still some places here that really looks awesome especially the ones that are far from my place. And England is the place I really want to live in. I love historical places But yeah, I'm not able to go there so instead, I'll go in Las Vegas hahaha!

I live in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Small country in south-eastern Europe. Click
I has nice climate, mountains and that.. Nature is really nice.
But it's not really well developed..
I suppose none of you heard of it, but perhaps Croatia?
It's neighbouring country and more famous.

I've heard of Bosnia, so don't worry
But... err. Aimee, tell me if this is true or not? Some people say that, there in Bosnia, you'll find err.. dead people in the roads or something? I don't know if it's true or not. But I don't really believe it, so yeah. That's kind of a question, heh I don't live there so I don't even know what's in your country

Haha, that's not true of course. Where'd you hear that?
LoL, but I get why'd people say that; there's been a war in our country, but it was like 20 years ago, so people get over it, we have.
People are just living their lives, like anywhere in the world.

It like any other country here in Balkan, hmm i don't know how much you know about it's history.
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia; they were all part of previously Yugoslavia, but that country fallen apart, and these little came. Sort of like what happened to Soviet Union.
So, Bosnia doesn't have well developed economy, still recovering.. But Slovenia is part of European Union, and Croatia is soon to be.

Sarajevo is our capital city, and my favorite city here. Here's some pictures of it:

Oh! Haha! Please don't kill my mom I heard it from her xD haha!
But yeah, as I have said, I still don't believe it. None of us got an experience living in Bosnia & Herzegovina so yeah.
By the way, Bosnia looks like Spain mixed Italy If you get what I mean. It looks kind of, dry? for me? I mean, unlike other parts of Europe, for example, Norway, it's really different. But honestly, I like to go to those kind of places, unlike my mom She doesn't like Europe at all, or maybe some parts of it. I don't know why she doesn't like it but for me, your place looks awesome and full of adventures hahaha!
Yes, I get it too. It's like Soviet Union WOW haha! I wish I could visit your place haha!

Yeah, it's a lot different than Norway, which is up on the north. But, I've never been in Norway so I can't tell. xD
Hehe, I won't kill your mom, don't worry. XD
I like here the climate, nature etc. I can't stand those really hot places; I could never live on a sea: Spain, Greece..; Mediterranien at all.
But I'd like to move away from here someday.
I LOVE Europe. My favorite continent. I'd like to travel it all. =)
This Winter I was in The Netherlands. It's a really nice country.
I'd like to visit Russia and UK. <3 My favorite two countries in the world.

Goodness! I agree with you like 101%
Europe is also my favorite continent. I would like to visit Europe someday, especially England, Denmark and Ireland It's like, I'm stuck in dreaming of visiting Europe hahaha! I love those three places mainly because I love castles or places in movies, for example Lord of the rings, the landscapes? I mean, the green mountains, something like that. I'm also dreaming of living in a place which the houses are on top of the mountains, something like that. Oh! I almost forgot to say I would love to visit Scotland someday too
So, I see, Greece is a hot place. Well, it's very obvious in some pictures that I've seen.
*whispers* I want to visit it too
Maybe the reason why I want to visit greece is because of mythology, haha!
I love greek mythology and I don't know why

Oh yeah, Ireland, The Green Island. I'd like to visit it too, it seems beautiful.
Yeah, I know what you mean. And 'cause of Lord of the rings, I'd like to visit New Zeland.

That's cool
