Yes, I'm Indian too... But like I said, you could always tell me about your particular state or town. I'm from South India and we have quite a lot of charming places and queer traditions.

Why not start off by telling us something about your own country? You don't even say where you are from. It's hard to encapsulate a whole country in a few lines. I'm from the east of England, and we are rich in history. Some of our buildings are hundreds of years old.

Hahahahahh I'm from India. It's not a very big country compared to some, but it sure is a complicated country. It's full of oxymorons and paradoxes. We have a lot of languages, cultures, arts, fashions, etc. Like you said, it's very hard to capture its essence in a few lines. And I love England! It's on my top five countries to visit list. I'd love to go some time...

I am from United States Of America. I am from the state Michigan. Depending on the state you live in, there are many things to do in the United States. There are a lot of scenic places, such as the mountains, canyons, etc.

You can achieve and get what you want as long as you work hard for it. My country is the land of opportunities, abundance and more abundance.

True. Have you read the book Atlas Shrugged? It says something pretty close. That America is the only country in the world that was started out of industrialism and work.

I'm from India myself. But even within this one country, there are so many different sub-cultures and traditions.

there are lots of adventure in the Philippines, you can pass through caves and dive in crystal clear waters in Palawan, you can visit the cool and mountainous Benguet, you can party and enjoy the powdery sands of Boracay! I hope some day we will have an efficient transportation that will take tourists to the best spot in the Philippines. I want to visit India someday, I love to see the different forts so unique, The Red Fort which is made of red Sandstone. The Jal Mahal which is in the middle of water. and the Taj Mahal which is a masterpiece.

I am from Jamaica in the West Indies. I love our folklore stories, our food (mmmm Jamaicans can really cook, some), the loving warmth of our people, the many different persons or races that come together to make this country one.. the beaches, our education system and the intelligence of our people. The anansy stories no one tells them anymore with the increase of technology and I believe that these stories should be placed on the internet for others to enjoy as they all have a morale behind these stories. Louise Bennett did great with it and I hope that more of our poets and writers will rise up and take the mantle that she had to leave and carry on because it is part of our culture. Hurray for Jamaica Land we love! Land of wood and water and white rum and lovely people!

Oh my god! I remember reading the anancy stories when I was little! Didn't realise they were from Jamaica. It seems like a really interesting place and you describe it so wonderfully!

I think USA used to be pretty nice about safety but lately I am not so sure I am happy with it. we probably do have the most prolific ethnic groups. as most are from other countries and colors. so I don't see where you are from/or live. where?

I'm from India. I've been to the US and I thought it was a really nice place. But then, I was there long long ago when the '90s kids ruled... Not sure what the millennials are doing these days.
