Loafing as usual
In no particular order:

Italy - For reasons too multitudinous too list. But art, opera, the Roman Empire, and architecture are a decent start.

United States - Literature, films, architecture, vastly differing cultures.

Russia/Soviet Union - Tchaikovsky, Chekhov, Dostoyevsky, the Revolution, overthrowing the Nazis.

Germany/Austria - Classical music (Beethoven, Mahler, Wagner, Mozart etc etc), engineering.

Yours?

Oh god....Las Vegas? its come to that has it?.....oh well

I'm going to be super generic on this one:

Spain: Laidback lifestyle, churros con chocolate

Mexico: Friendly people, street tacos

Holland: Beer and bicycles (two things I love)

Germany: Impeccable, runs like a swiss watch and has the Doner kebab, best street food ever

Italy: all things Roman to look at, renaissance art

Argentina: Great steaks and cute girls decked out in tight jeans and chuck taylor converses......awesome

England: (ooooh this could go bad!.....keep in mind I've only spent 2 days in your country)

Music: if we invented Rock and Roll, the Brits perfected it, an absurd amount of creative output from a country of 50 million.

The Arts: From literature, theatre, art......Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Milton......yea, I guess they were allright....but I'm no expert on them so let's move on now.....

Pub culture: this has been immitated all over of the world, I imagine its better over there.

English: I'm amazed at the differences in accents from places that are so close to eachother.......I speak english okay, understand it pretty good, I can read it allright, good language

Manchester City: I will go to a game one day even if I have to swim there

Allright well I'm sure there is much more I'm missing but I've done enough ass kissing already.....
