Who else is interested in foreign countries?

Post Reply New Topic

My main special interest is foreign countries, specifically Italy. I want to live in Italy one day, it would be so awesome because it's really sunny there and I like the sun. And the culture is really interesting, and there are tonnes of historical sites to visit, especially in Rome.

Another country I'm very interested in is Moldova. I read a book about Moldova last week. And I just found an English translation of the song "Dragostea din Tei", which is by a Moldovan pop group. I'm trying to memorise the lyrics and their English meaning. (Translation here if anyone's interested.)

I am trying to read the Wikipedia articles for every country in the world, so I will know some basic information on every country. I am on Bolivia at the moment (going in alphabetical order).

I want to visit lots of countries when I'm older, but I haven't been to that many so far. I've only been to Spain, Malta, Germany (too young to remember at the time), America, and Britain (where I live).

Who else is interested in foreign countries? Which countries?

im currently facinated with madagascar for some reason, heck i dont even know if its a country but i want to go there someday because of all the gemstones they have there

I'd like to go there too, the beaches are beautiful.

Some countries I'm interested in are Canada, Britain, Italy, Greece, China, Japan, Middle Eastern countries, Latino countries, Australia, and, New Zealand.

Tannu Tuva is the most awesome country on Earth.

I too am interested in foreign countries... In particularly Germany.
In the past I've also been interested in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia.

Where's Tannu Tuva?

I am currently fascinated with the 'Stans in Central Asia.

Japan and china, somehow i've started to like Great brittany too, seems like a nice country. But expecially Japan.

It became independant during the 20's, but became a part of USSR in 1944, and is currently a part of the Russian Federation.

Freedom for Tannu Tuva!

I think Ukraine is the most awesome country on earth.
Never heard about Tanny Tuva before this topic. Henriksson, have you been there? what makes you interested in it?

I guess you could say so, I've always been interested in things like countries and maps. I've got a bunch of atlases.

Nope. Would be quite tricky to get there, I'd imagine.

Their capital is named Kyzyl, it's pretty self-explanatory. And they've got some really cool stamps.

I quite like geography, and am quite interested in different countries.

Henriksson,
dude,
please
replace
that
overwhelming
map graphic
with something
no wider
than 640
pixels.
I had
to reload
this page
with
images
turned off
just to
be able
to read
what you
had to say.

Well, maybe you should consider getting a decent computer? And what I wrote surely outpales any eventual inconveniences!

Oh, all right, I'll turn it off when.

I'm interested in China, Japan and the Middle East. I want to learn either mandarin or Japanese language at some point.
