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 think in the spirit of things I will answer with my favourite country that I do not have any connection to and have never visited: Finland. Finns seem to just go hard at everything. The music that comes out of their country is awesome. Their motorsports culture feels like they actually figured out how to prioritise fun over everything else. The language inspired Tolkien’s elvish. Sahti is delicious. The pizza Berlusconi is hilarious, and as a haggis-loving Scot the idea of making a derided local cuisine into high-class excellence out of spite appeals to me. Somehow Finland maintained an incredibly unique culture despite being the battleground of two bigger neighbours for 700 years, and I am so glad that we all get to enjoy the things that they bring to the world
