The countries: good or bad things
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2017 6:17 pm
I think that every country must have good things and bad things, and that which is the best depends of your own requirements and taste.
So this thread isn't about which is the best or worst, and anyway, it would be subjective, but it would be very interesting to read what you like or dislike about the countries where you live or have been.
I will start with some descpitions, and will add more comments when i think about them:
Belgium(Wallonia)
Good
chocolate
fries
my native language, so convenient
Bad:
the stupid hatred Wallonia <-> Flanders
England (London)
Good:
you can be who you are, wear the clothes you want, etc
international food
people are freidnly and not overwhelming
Bad:
brexit, ukip etc
think that "Europe" is all the same, so every country in Europe does the same things
think that Brussels = Belgium = Eurocrat
France (Normandy)
Good:
dog friendly
beautiful flowers
Bad:
I liked it a lot, I could live in Normandy. I was there one week, so it's difficult to say more
Holland (Maastricht, Zeeland, )
Good:
cycling is safe
Leerdammer cheese is yummy
some Dutch are nice
Pretty church bells
I can speak Dutch
Bad:
Aggressive, loud people
Very tall people (I am only 1.62m)
Disgusting food
Ugly flat landscape
Germany (Düsseldorf)
Good:
people I know who are German are nice
yummy ice cream
Bad:
seems strict
food is salty and too much
