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

    Well then, just for you I revise the word and would insert instead admire? I mean in the widest sense of the word, in that we can learn, respect and gain something enriching, I feel, from other cultures and other scenery... Even if we prefer our own turf, it's nice to appreciate other landscapes :)

  • I would like to visit Norway for its natural beauty, but then there are places here that are beautiful that I haven't seen. I'd like to see Scotland because it's my family's ancestral home, but then, this is my home and it's more important than Scotland.

    Of course, there's no place like home. Nice to visit and appreciate other places tho.
