Yes we have had many threads about why America suxorz. But this is a different kind of thread!;)

This thread is about greatness in your own country.
If you live in Americas or where ever.
What are some things other countrys do not have that you enjoy greatly in your own?
Things that are unique to your homeland.:D

In Reading you can sample the local culture:

Come visit France ! The last communist country in the whole (extended) Europe ! Where dissent is the national sport ! We have more history and culture than is sane for a single country ! With our own bloody civil wars, repression and torture in ex-colonies, even ! The country that lives in higher standing and helps poor nations more than it can afford ! Where you need a state-issued licence for doing anything !

Alpes Maritimes looks simalar Austin , only it overlooks the ocean instead of the Collorado river. Very beautifull. I am envious. I also want to move to Austin. lol

Shroom-FX :that was a great ride but kind of a cop out. We have crack dens in the Americas also. That sandwitch looks mighty taiste though.
What do people in reading do for fun? let me guess "the pub!" its a small world!
Damn . seems its been to long since i have drank anything nice. I think i will remedy this tomarow night.Any one up for a Guinniss?

namu : I must say the french and their history just scare me. lol

* edit:i knew the spelling of Guinniss was strange? srry it was late and i was tired " slaps self "*

great things about my country...

a national health service and (relatively) cheap higher education for all. (ive read a few posts here that make me so glad of both these things).

more specifically i live in nottingham, home to robin hood, little john, and that pesky sheriff!

oh. and it seems that we have a high ratio of women to men

That's the point. For us dutchies they're the same old canals (I still love em though) but there isn't a place in the world that looks like it, and the tourists love it... :)

but ok some other stuff found here:

The FlevoPolder(click pics for info!)

(the coffeeshop text on the image is a coincidence, I googled for flevoland I swear!)

The Donkervoort (click pic for info!)

0-60Mph under 4 secs!

Hutspot (click pic for recipe!)

One of the best Dutch foods, traditionally eaten on the evening of "Leids ontzet" mainly in the city of Leiden, both my parents come from Leiden so we eat this every year on 3 october. :)

oh and: :dutch: :dutch: :dutch:
