I think the best thing about my country, which is England, is the lush green grass, the hills, the history of the place and the extent of neolithic and monolithic sites. These are particularly evident in my part of the country, with Stone Henge being the largest. From there, to a little further west is King Arthur country... our legendary king, who appointed the knights of the round table. Arthurs Legend begins with his birth in Tintagel, Cornwall, and continues through Glastonbury and the Isle of Avalon, into Wiltshire and a few places north of those. I love Arthurian Legend. There are a lot of longbarrows, (ancient burial places), burial mounds and such like dotted around Wiltshire and Berkshire also, in addition to Roman and Christian settlements. I find it all very interesting, and love to take a day out visiting such places. York, in the north, has a lot of history too, of Vikings and Guy Fawkes, ghosts and the town being built within castle walls. Then there's Whitby, on the north east coast, home of Captain Cook and also full of Dracula Legend. So, I guess the country's history is what I'm proud of. Do tell us more about the delicacies you have in your country, please. Have a great day, and brightest blessings. :-)

I'm proud with so many different culture in my country. Theyere's a Malay tribe, Javanese Tribe, Dayak tribe, Baliness, Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua. The differences not makes us become separate each other, but we always unite although there's so many differences each other. With so many culture it also means there's so many kind of clothes, so many kind of food.

Philippines is a beautiful country with a million of beautiful people and great hospitality. We have a many great places to visit, like Boracay, El Nido, Batanes, Baguio City, Mt. Mayon in Albay, etc. Here, you can find the most delicious and sweet mango in the world. Beside mango we have also some good delicacies like pili, otap, buko pie, sea foods, and others. We have also lots of festival celebrating all through out the year, just like Sinulog in Cebu, Ati-Atihan in Aklan, Panagbenga in Baguio City, etc. You will also find some great historical site and learn our history.
