I am from Dominican Republic a beautiful country,with talls coconut trees, and beautiful beaches,and friendly people, my country is a country with a lot of positives and negatives things, is the second country in the world where the people smiled more, but is one of the country with longer blackouts of ten hours daily, is a country with the best baseball players like David Ortiz, Samuel Sosa,Alez Rodriguez, but with a great population of haitiens trying to survive in a country where is difficult even for the dominicans to eat two times a day,is a country with very are good artists like Juan Luis Guerra, Aventura, Charityn, Zoe saldana, but with women that give birth to their babies on the ground of a sidewalk because they don't have money to go to the hospital,a country where the water is a luxury to have it everyday of the week, but with all the intentions to go on, because the dominicans are hardworker, and never give up. I love my country! And you? Do you love your country? what is good about it?

I come from Romania,one of the most beautiful European countries,where you can find amazing landscapes in the Carpathian Mountains,Danube Delta or the Black Sea,and a lot of cultural and historical places such as castles,monasteries and so on,but unfortunately it's also one of the poorest countries in Europe,although it's a member of the European Union.Salaries are very low,while prices are similar to those found in Western European and the level of unemployment is higher and higher.Anyway,in spite of all the problems I am proud to be Romanian and I hope to live to see better days for my country.

Because I am also from Romania, subscribe, what polaris77 said, and I would like to add that Romania is a country of eternal and fascinating, if not the country of all possibilities, is the country where anything is possible. I love Romania, because here things still happen naturally, because here people make fun of sorrow and bitterness mixed with the joke. As long as will remain a living country with people who can think and act freely, my place is here.

It is great to hear from member of different countries. I am from one of the unique country. Bhutan, the last sangrila. It is located in between India and China. Bhutan has unique culture and tradition. Bhutan is committed in preserving culture and tradition and also the rich natural resources.
It is one of the most expensive place to be visited in the world. For the tourist is costs around 250 dollars per night to be in Bhutan.

I come from a country where politicians have tendency of increasing their salaries when people are dying of hunger. This country is the second in world ranking in people who are committed to pay taxes to the government lead by corrupt leaders. I know we are to blame for electing such like people, but what if there is no other option.
Yes! Kenya is so rich in natural resources, high ranking tourist destination as it host one of the ..wonders of the world.. Its always great to see Kenyan Athletes topping the world in long distance races. Big names emerging from poverty line to break world records.
I love my country, peace love and unity is our national motto. It has remained so for many years until our leaders created a rift between people, but thanks to God we are now staying together as one big family by now
...always kenyan, truly kenyan..wonderfully united..

I am from the Philippines. I love my country too. Philippines is a tropical country with lots of tourist spots like Bohol province where you can find the famous chocololate hills. There is also Boracay island, the beach with white sand. it is a famous tourist attraction too. There is Palawan which is being nominated to be the new wonder of the world. There is Baguio City too located atop of the mountains. The weather there is cold that is why it is called summer capital of our country. There are lots of places here in my country to visit. I hope that if anyone of you will visit another country, you would consider Philippines

there is always something in our country that we are proud of. or almost everything, although there are things that make us not proud. i commend you for presenting the good and bad side of your country. i think each country has this two sides. i come from the philippines. despite of our hard work and natural beauty of our surrounding, the country is still mired with poverty. i know it is unacceptable, but it is the reality. i am proud of the people who contribute to address this problem.

I feel so sad that these happen in your country however the good thing about your country is that you smile despite all the things that happen in your economy..
These is also the case in my country. It maybe not as worse as yours but we also strive harder to get out of poverty. The main contributor of poverty is the kind of government we have. The government is responsible for the welfare of its people. Try to be more observant and critical so as to awaken the consciousness of your fellow citizen that these is the situation and that you have to move. Its now or never.

Nice of you to describe a bit of your country. I guess, every country has its negative and positive side. What is important is we like our own country and is proud of its achievements.
I love the Philippines so much. It has talented people. The people are friendly and hospitable. It has very nice beaches , caves and other beautiful places too.
