Can you name/say one thing that you admire or even envy/feel a little jealous of about another country? Real or perceived.

This was inspired by a post on another thread.. 

For me, I envy and/or am jealous of American wooden houses and the land that seems often to come with them... I envy how endlessly adaptable and customisable/extendable they are.. We have brick or stone houses mainly and they are a real pain to alter... Oh and I totally an green with envy of porches... we don't really have them in the same way.  I also envy the sheer amount of space... land... UK is quite a congested little island. 

I admire Japanese elegance and determination. Such fascinating people. I admire their longevity and hard working ethic.  And I adore green tea with roasted brown rice and Japanese curry.

I love almost everything about Italy and Italians :P But especially their passion and their food. 

There's loads more but you get the idea :P
