The country I'd like to visit


Man, I really don't know. There are a lot of places out there, interesting (yet uninteresting) in their own ways...

How about China. China is huge, ranges from HUGE crowded cities where you're stupid if you don't smoke (gonna die of respiratory problems anyway), to quiet little villages where you don't have neighbors for several miles and it's just the country side. Sure, everywhere has places like those, but not to this extremity. China has small plains to great rivers and HUGE flipping mountains. Not to mention the Great Wall.

It's probably the only non-English speaking country I might just be able to get around... maybe. Other than Germany I guess. Lots of people there know English anyway.
Plus, Chinese food is the best thing ever.

And there's this one special thing in China, where they have these huge misty landscapes and huge rivers, with a bunch of mountains popping up everywhere, and it looks really majestic and cool. Like the Guilin mountains. I would love to see Guilin one day. And I've seen some magical places, that nature created. It's really something special when you go see them. It's like walking in a dream. Yeah, I'm referring to lots of my Oregon experiences. It's just really refreshing to see something like that--in personal, breathe the air around it, the whole thing. It sounds sort of sentimental, but it's so different from just looking at pictures of it. No picture can do those sorts of places any justice.

I mean, it's such a cool place with such rich culture in it. Sure, its human rights are lagging a bit and though the overall economy is doing awesome, individuals tend to be struggling, but it's a beautiful place, and it's one of the oldest--if not THE oldest--civilizations still standing today (though of course in different from).

China's a really good one, Kira. I didn't think of it, I guess when it's on the complete other side of the world, it's easy to forget. Which is stupid because you'd think it'd be hard to forget a billion people, wouldn't you?

Kira...I think that we should go to China together. And then Japan. And possibly other parts of Asia. We'll call its ASIA TOUR!!! But yeah. I totally want to go to Japan for the same reasons...the big cities and the beautiful country sides. And you're right, being in the mountains is so much more amazing than looking at pictures.

Nooooooooo not CHINA! China is destroying the world!!!
Though, I actually think Chinese culture is really interesting and id love to go there...i just really despise their government.

Haha, an Asia tour would be epiccc.


Eh, what governments these days are any good anyway? China is kind of scary. They OWN us. 3 trillion dollars of our debt is alll China, dude. A visit to China wouldn't really do anything to its gov, either. xD But China's actually improving, very quickly economically, and also they're progressing with human rights.
Living in China wouldn't be a whole lot of fun unless you're upper class or something, though.

China would be pretty awesome. Everything there just looks so cool. Everything is all high-tech looking.
