Republic of Ireland:

There is a lot of culture and tradition (see: drinking and Irish trad music). There are a few major towns, the rest are just smaller towns and villages. There is a lot of countryside if you're into that kinda stuff and it's usually raining. Also, the country is renowned for taking the piss (see: our economy).

United States: We have nothing and everything. There's lots to see here, but you have to travel into near the middle of nowhere to find anything beautiful in this country.

The US is a mess.

Its America what did you expect? A cake? Well the cake is a lie. (lol cake jokes)

 

[white_salad]

Welcome to America. Stay on the coasts. That's where all the cool stuff is. It
s either cold and boring or hot and boring in the midwest. Come to california. We have disneyland and beaches.

Recently I went to Australia, I had no point of reference for Australia aside from Crocodile Dundee, Steve Irwin, their Hollywood actors/singers etc. So I did not know what to expect when I got there.

Unlike America or Britain/European countries which have long histories, fairly accessible by most other countries and enormous pop culture significance and thus easily understood with a little study.

When I left, I still had no idea what the cultural Identity of Australians were.

If you had 1 paragraph to describe your State or Country to any vistors. What would it be?

Ahhh. Where did you go?
Also, our culture is pretty much British with a bit of American.
As an Australian who's been over seas i always have this problem; When in Europe i'm confused for a British tourist and when in non Anglo countries i'm confused for an American tourist.
So i think it's a little difficult to tell the difference between our accents and cultures(especially in non Anglo countries).

 

[Wyes]

Honestly, most of us Australians don't know what our cultural identity is.

 

[w-Jinksy]

theres a lot of hills.

and its gunna rain, ALOT

 

[Anarchemitis]

In the winter there's great local skiing, skating and lots of pretty sweet parks to venture around. In the summer, there's local skydiving, mountain biking (a bit dangerous) on the ski hills, more parks to hike around in, and to the east is the lake country with awesome lakes to go swimming in, wine tours, recreational flying, and if you know where to look, lots of bridges to jump off into rivers.
Welcome to British Columbia, home of the people with the most free time in the world.

Recommendations: Stony Point in Princeton, Haynes Point Provincial Park (or any fashion of water sports, as well as BC's finest wines) in Osoyoos, Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, Fernie Alpine Resort in Fernie, Baker Street in Nelson, and Vancovuer Skydiving in Abbotsford.

America! I'm on my second travel through the states again, my first post was on a fourm like this.

Anyways, each states like its own country. I live in California and California is like 4 different countrys in one state, you got the pale ghost of a people liven up way in the summit, then you got us simple mountain folk nice people we dwell near yosemite just don't stop on the road to take picture of the damn trees!! Then you got the city people and each city is just different flavors of L.A and San Fran.

Peaceful, beautiful and just generally lovely.

But the other 99% is populated by chavs, heroin addicts and shit weather.

It's shockingly bad, leave while you still can. I'm out the first opportunity that's for sure. There's only one problem: the rest of the world 'aint much better.

America - NOT JUST A BUNCH OF FAT DOUCHEBAGS

Thats how i would start anyway. Kinda like a disclaimer.

I would then continue with: A country with a rich history of many different types of ethnic groups, and each state is almost like a new country, with each region, climate change, and geographical diversity making up a country that in reality is more of like six or seven countries.

The large majority of Canadians don't actually live in an igloo, it doesn't snow 9 months of the year where most of us live, and we DON'T FREAKIN SAY "ABOOT". Our beer is weak, our country is pretty, we're generally friendly (except in Toronto and Quebec, trust me), but it takes a lifetime to drive to the other side of the country. In fact it takes a good two or three days to go across of Ontario if you stop to sleep and eat like any reasonable person.
Oh, and don't piss off the geese. They bite. And beavers are territorial. Same with moose.

My little corner of America:

We have four seasons: Almost Winter, Mid Winter, After Winter, and Road Construction. Bring a pair of skis or a snowboard. If you're not here to hunt or ski, you should wait until Road Construction season to go and hike. The country's nice and all, but it's right next to Mormonia, so tread carefully. Oh, and this is my back yard:

 

[zama174]

It sucks, go somewhere else.

*American*

Haha, you should appreciate what you have. Your country is almost as whiny as mine, but we really have reasons - we're like twenty years behind US.

In Poland you will see:
-thieves
-drunkards
-idiots
-douchebags
-retards
-bureaucrats
-me

In America you will find that in numbers that exceeds the entire population of Poland, and then a lot more.. Plus other forms of undesirable people. (interesting how Americans are all hating on there country.. Why are we the only ones pointing out how fucked up we are?)

Canada: Being passive-aggressive is our national pasttime! Unless you don't like that. Whatever you want, I guess.

Actually, these guys say it best:

Canada is larger than the US and were on top. if this was prison they would be our *****!

I agree with the arrogant worms.
