Hey Pandas, Can You Convince Us To Visit Your Country?

UK

You probably won't get shot.

UK in Winter. Go to a proper old pub, with a roaring log fire and sit yourself down with a pint of ale. Sounds simple, but it’s truly one of the most comforting experiences. Apart from that the weather is s hit, London’s not that big a deal and COVID has broken everyone’s spirit and will to live, but that’s the same everywhere. N.B., we do have some lovely countryside though, particularly the Lake District.

In Germany it's considered perfectly acceptable to have pancakes for dinner

Uk. Not right now, it's going to the dogs. Give it a few years and hopefully people will have got their heads round the fact that Brexit is a truly cataclysmic idea and voting for the Conservatives is going to harm your lives if you aren't one of the rich elite.

India. Most people conjure up just the images of snake charmers and the Taj Mahal. What most people don’t realise is the fact that there is at least 1 monument or museum in every city. Our history is so vast that nobody knows exactly when it all started. We speak so many languages and dialects that it’s impossible to name or learn all of them. The food here is rich in flavour and aroma. Our cuisine covers a wide range of tastes like spicy, sweet, salty, bitter, sour and tangy. Spicy food is of the iceberg in cuisine. In rains you must try our pakodas. A nice mango lassi does great in the afternoons. Our festivals are the best as the quote goes “every indian just needs a reason to celebrate”. Try visiting gujrat during the navratri festival where we dance into the night there. Why not come during the Diwali festival? It’s the best festival ever where we eat all kinds of sweets. Relatives come from all over and houses are decorated with clay diyas. We wear brand new clothes as well,. The people here are nice too. It is unacceptible if someone reufses hospitality according to out traditions. People here are friendly and welcoming to each other. You never hear anyone being referred as “miss” or “mister”. Kids wold call the grownups as “uncle” or “aunty” showing a strong bond. Overall India is a great country with rich culture, cuisine, languages and friendliness. If you ever get the chance, please visit India.

Come to Canada! We have snow and poutine!

South Africa. Obviously after covid. The obvious things are our game parks with the "Big 5" land animals (dozens of game reserves), but there's much more. Stunning landscapes, interesting food, long and varied coastline, lots of watersport opportunities (sailing, surfing, scuba, etc.). That's just for outdoors people. For culture-oriented people, there's colonial history, apartheid history, human origins at Sterkfontein/Cradle of Humankind (2 million years history!), tons of museums, always lots of plays/shows going on, wide range of cultures and cuisines, thousands of awesome restaurants etc. I'm in Gauteng which is our gold mining province, basically a megacity of 13m people. If you do come here, you should definitely see Cape Town (Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned), Table Mountain. For mountains generally, Drakensberg or Mpumalanga. For city life and culture, Johannesburg. For kitsch/themepark: Gold Reef City, Monte Casino and Sun City. For game reserves: Sabi, Pilanesberg, Kruger. For ocean sports: Sodwana, Durban. SO much to do! Super friendly people, speak english, everything is cheap except hotels in Sandton (1 USD = 16 ZAR). E.g. a MacD's Big Mac here is R 40 or $2.50. www.southafrica.net for more.

Great food, amazing beaches, great hospitality and all the history you want about one of the most ancient civilisations! Do i need to say more? Greece

Invite Ded Moroz (Grandfather Frost) and his daughter Snegurochka (Snowgirl) for your kids in New Year! Don't forget to take off your shoes, for it's dirty outside and really warm (24°C or 75°F) inside. Try bliny (crepes, thin pancakes) while the scarecrow of winter is burning on Maslenitsa feast! Try pelmeni (dumplings) in Izhevsk and pryaniki (gingerbread) in Tula! Look at traditional izba (log house). Look at volcanoes of Kamchatka. Visit all theatres of Saint Petersburg, more than 100. You will need an extra pair of shoes for theater, you can't go there in your rubber boots - it's a bit rainy here since 1703... Visit metro stations, beautiful as palaces (that's not a common thing, as i learned recently).
See all four seasons of continental climate!
From Russia with love *^_^*

Come to Iceland 😊😊 Beautiful, nice, scary and everything between 🇮🇸🇮🇸

Beautiful weather, gorgeous beaches and plenty of culture despite what everyone says.

If you like coffee, Melbourne is the coffee capital of the world and I don't care what you say. Lots of hipsters and you can get good food. Street art is a whole other dimension.

Brisbane has beautiful weather, lots of gorgeous parklands and everyones pretty friendly (excluding the bogans). Umm, nothing outstanding about Brisbane to be honest but it's a lovely environment.

Head up north to Cairns and north QLD for the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree, Kuranda Railway and lots of beautiful natural areas. One to put on your bucket list.

Adelaide is the old money city, so lots of nice old buildings, pretty cold and kinda quiet if you like that sort of stuff. Nice food markets too.

Canberra is shamed by the rest of the country, but it's quite nice actually. Lots of museums, arty, historical and interesting, sciencey places (You MUST go to Questacon) and it's got some lovely places. Pollies aren't much to look at though (;D).

While I haven't been to the rest of the country, I'm sure the other places aren't too bad either. I mean, we've kept them.

I've listed all the big places, but all of the little towns are lovely too. Everywhere has the "best meat pie/vanilla slice" and if you have our sense of humour, go to Goulburn. Have a look at it from the servo.

Look, yeah, we're a bit odd, you probably don't understand some of my post cause I'm not sure whats Aussie or not, but come over here post-covid and you'll have a blast, I'm sure.

Come to the Caribbean! Not all the islands, some have pretty high crime rates, but some are absolutely amazing! Sunny days, beaches in every direction, friendly natives, a wide variety of food influenced by indigenous people, African, Indian, Chinese cuisine. Come sit on the warm sands under a coconut tree and listen to the waves. Visit or may nature parks or forest reserves and see all our endemic species of plants and animals. It's a beautiful place but you should probably avoid the hurricane season.

Hungary. Sure, Budapest is amazing, and if you never were, you have to, at least once. But there are many other possibilities, like, if you are a wine-lover, you should make some trips around the lake Balaton, where you can find great wine-yards and nice people. You like climbing? No problem, there are mountains! Okay, they are not the Alps, but sure won't disappoint you. Or would you like just shipping and relaxing? Did I mention the Danube? Yeah, it can bring you directly to the hearth of Budapest, where you can sure find some great holiday-program of your taste.
Oh, and come in spring or early autumn. Although winter is also beautiful, but mostly just, when it's snowing, and in summer there are too-much-tourists ;)

Canada - Second country in the world to fully legalize weed.

Bier, Brezeln, Burgen... (beer, pretzels, castles) you need anything more to visit Germany? ^_^

Spain

Right now with corona absolutely no. But if in the future we get rid of the pandemic it is a really interesting country.

We have a lot of diversity both culturally and in nature. You can visit glaciars, tropical forests, rainy green areas and sun hot beaches. Some our cities are beautiful and the gastronomy is one of the best in Europe.

I would recommend to try to visit different areas to be able to see a bit of all. Maybe euskadi (Bilbao?), andalucia (cordoba), cataluña/valencia (barcelona or valencia)

I would not recommend LIVING in the US anymore; I personally plan to move to Canada where my ancestors lived. But as far as visiting, you just can't match the state of Maine. Lobster, waves crashing on a rocky shoreline, primeval forests, serene lakes, challenging mountain trails, more interesting characters per square mile than any population I have lived among and, of course, lobsters.

Denmark! Because you can afford to live and breathe here, even if you should loose your job

My *country* consists of foothills, peaks, and valleys in the Sierra Nevada range. My *nation* is the USA, specifically the old California Republic. Please stay away unless you're vaccinated, masked, and ready to spend money.
