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

We have more space than people. 90% of the population lives in our only town. We have five kinds of penguin, elephant seals, sea lions. We're very friendly, you can knock on anyone's door and you'll get a cup of tea, or coffee. We have clear skies, no pollution. Long, empty beaches. Everywhere is right next to the ocean.
And there is no C-19. Falkland Islands.

The U.S.- don’t. 🦠, 🔪 🔫 & $$$

The United States, specifically Washington State, has beautiful parks. Rolling mountains, large forests with lakes hiding for the casual hiker. You have ocean water to give you that salty sea smell while listening to the waves grasping at the shore.

There are colorful farmlands that grow everything from apples to zucchini. If you would like some, there are small stands along country roads where you can get produce while engaging in the indulgence of salt water taffy.

You can see majestic elk and graceful eagles surrounding the Columbia river while passing pastures of horses. And while travelling those back country roads, you find those little mom and pop gems of restaurants with fresh baked pies and wholesome cooking.

And the cities are a melting pot of spices and culture that is warm and inviting. Art, music and dancing all for the casual observer. The seafood is amazing and the wines make you close your eyes and appreciate how good life can be.

Everything in one state...from ocean to desert. From white water rivers to majestic mountains. Washington has it all.

The U.S. has a lot of amazing history and beautiful views. Including some really cool haunted places for ghosthunters and mediums.

Okay, first I want to acknowledge something: I live in the USA, and it definitely would not be my number one place to visit. I can't say for certain what it would be, but the USA is not it. It's not even in the top five. That said, places in the USA would probably make up a good chunk of the top 50. Even as one of the larger countries, I would say the USA has pretty incredible cultural and natural diversity for its size and while that can lead to some stupid arguments internally, it also means you could spend a lifetime traveling the USA and still be finding new, distinct, and interesting things at the end of it. If you like history, visit Boston, Philadelphia and the national capital or plot out a course of smaller stops to tell a fuller story (the American Southwest is very interesting and much more diverse than you would think from most media). If you like nature and haven't seen Yellowstone or The Grand Canyon or Sequoia (just to start, as we have a long list of phenomenal national parks) those are absolutely worth a week of your life at least. The Oregon Coast (about 1/4 of the USA's Pacific coastline) is essentially all public, and marked by some spectacular nature too. The swimming isn't so good (its Cold) but there are places you can walk literally miles of sandy beach and only see a few other people. Hawaii also has truly excellent ocean, with some great reefs and whale mating season being worth the (admittedly long) trip, not to mention the native island biodiversity. If you like culture, you can either go the "New York, LA, Chicago" route or you can plot a course through less populated regions with their own highly valued traditions (just do enough research to make sure you will be welcome: you usually will be, but with our diversity comes a certain amount of insular protection in some places).

Can I put the USA above Egypt or Greece for history, or above Iceland or Costa Rica or Australia for nature or above Japan or India for culture? IMO, no (okay, Yellowstone might elbow in there, it's really special). There are lots of places that are, on there own, likely better than any given place in the USA, but taken as a whole this country really is an amazing place and well worth seeing.

I’m kind of sad how many Americans are disparaging the US. No, things aren’t perfect, especially now. But we have a big, diverse, interesting country! There is the history and beauty of The First Nations, the art and music and fashion cultures of our larger cities (and even the small towns), the amazing foods of our melting pot of cultures, and the stunning variety of natural wonders and national parks. I’ve been told by multiple visitors from other countries that we (Americans) are among the friendliest and most hospitable people they had ever encountered. Especially if you ask someone for their recommendation of where to eat or what to go see in their city, we are so eager to share our favorite things with visitors. I love my country! -from Southern California with love ❤️

Australians have fairy bread and that is it.

Wales. Land of the Dragons. Enough said

I Don't Dislike Anyone Enough to do That to Them!!!!!!

Not since 2016, no. It's a dumpster fire here and I wouldn't want to subject anyone to it.

Head over to the 'Land Down-Under'! Adorable wildlife and welcoming communities! Breathtaking landmarks and very high safety compared to other countries.

"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!"

Umm... If you like tea, chavs and ciggies, then I guess you could come to the UK? I wouldn't though. HOWEVER, Estonia has lovely food, many forests and some of my relatives. Serbia has really good music and... the food probably does float some peoples' boats. Switzerland has chocolate, mountains, some of my family and the shops have the nicest smell if you walk by them when the bread is baking!

Dear Australians: Come to Britain! It’s cold and not that great but there’s basically nothing that can kill you, unless you run into a main road.

US- the land of the free! Mostly! Sort of! Sometimes! Well… not really. But have a hot dog! Only after dealing with a depressed customer service worker who makes minimum wage.

...... two words ......
..... "New Zealand" .....

Costa Rica! For breakfast we have gallo pinto (the most delicious mixture of rice and beans), and a cup of the best coffee you will ever drink. No army, beautiful volcanoes, forests and beaches. Universal healthcare system and one of the most solid democracies in the world.

The Netherlands. Lots of historical cities and villages, beautiful coastline and rivers, and cows. Ganja places and red light districts for the naughty, world famous paintings and a rich cultural life for the nice. Good public transport and very safe. We are small so everything is close by. And we all speak English. Just don't expect to have nice weather.

I can't. I live in America.

Honestly, no. I live in the USA, and around where I live lots of people are just mean and judgy. They gossip a LOT. (Not that everyone is like that, I'm sure there are a lot of nice people out there)

Um, yeah. I live in Wisconsin. We have cheese?

we have free candy
