Let's talk about our top ten favorite countries. It can be places you've been to, places you want to visit, or places you just simply like.
1. USA
I was born and raised here, and that is self-explanatory.
2. Japan
I would like to visit Tokyo, Osaka, and Okinawa. Of course, I'll want to brush up on my kanji.
3. Philippines
I've been to the PI three times, the last time in 1992. My extended family lives in the outskirts of Makati City,
and my sister attended school there before coming here a decade ago.
4. Canada
It must feel pretty good to be in a place whose ideals and outlook are American in a way, but better, looser, and freer.
BC's my favorite of the provinces.
5. Australia
I've never seen the Great Barrier Reef, tasted Nutella or Vegemite, or stood at the top of Uluru, so I'd like
to check this place out.
6. France
Whenever I see bikers climb up L'Alpe d'Huez, speed down the Champs-Elysees, or zoomed down the French
countryside, I would like to say when I grow older, "I was actually at Le Tour. (And I got to see Lance,
too.)"
7. UK
Britain is known for having some good football teams, as well as Oxford and Cambridge, and a whole lotta o-ther
attractions. Even that Ascot track... *sobs*
8. Mexico
The only part of Mexico I want to see is Baja. And that's it. Baja is the best part of Mexico, IMHO.
9. Greece
To see where the goids used to roam, and where history comes to life...can't get any better.
10. Anywhere else in Western Europe or Scandinavia
Complete toss-up.
What abo-ut you guys?
