What do you guys think about your country? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Here is what I think about my Country. You are optional to name the country of yours.
What I like (to just name a few):
1) Our country consist of multi-racial people. So we are special in terms of having many cultural backgrounds. For example variety of foods, fashion, the way of life, languages, etc.
2) Even we from different background or from different ethnic, we can still live in harmony and calm environment. we can go to school together, work in the same office and even to live in the same house.
3) Many public holidays.Due to the multi-racial and backgrounds, we have a lot of public holidays.
4) Beautiful country. A lot of fantastic places to visit and travel. I don't know about you guys, but I've been to Europe and some other country in Asia, I still prefer my country. I just can't get enough of it.
5) Developing country and good stable political and economical. No major or big issue happened before that really affected the country.
What I like about my Country:
1) High tax to foreign products. Make it hard for me to buy cars from Europe makers especially due to high and unreasonable tax.
2) Low usage/utilization of public transports. Due to not much of provided public transportation. I like the way of Europe countries having full utilization of public transport.
3) A bit low salary level compared to high developing countries. One of the reason because of the currency and other political aspect. But I still live but not that wealthy.
Afterall, this is where I was born. All my relatives are here. I like it here more than anywhere else. I LOVE MY COUNTRY.

I love my country too, and that is Canada. Firstly, the country is enormous, with plenty of places to go, and lots of natural resources. Few countries in the world support their citizens when they need it as Canada. Even in critical illnesses cases or unemployment, Canada will always help every family to have basic elements, through the government or private organizations. Food, home, clothes, education. In general cost of food is low in Canada. As with all countries in the world, there are problems, with high taxes, not a great economy, but, all in all, I love my country.

I love my country, which is England, although I am also part of the sovereign nation of Great Britain; or (full name) the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and I love both, but first and foremost I love England. And I love it because I was born there, in its capital city. It's not perfect nor has it ever been, but I love it all the same. It's a nation of strong traditions; of rich history; known internationally for its literature; arts; music. There are nice people too; lots of them; a lot of friendliness. But as much as I love my country, I also love and respect other peoples' countries, and the right of every one alive to love and honour their country.

I love my country because it's multi cultural and everyone pretty much looks after one another. I really love the landscapes, especially the wonderful beaches that we have. I like all the energy and fun everyone has together on the beaches. We have pretty cool places to visit like amusement parks and we have a great beautiful Great Barrier reef. People in my country tend to be very open-minded and tolerable. People here come from all walks of life!
Okay, for the bad stuff, the government eight now isn't all that great. The Prime Minister has no idea what she is doing and all the people are protesting against her and not very happy with her efforts. She's very headstrong in what she does and pretty much ignores what everyone wants. Sometimes road rage is a big issue, people tend to get very unpleasant when they're angry so I avoid the streets as much as possible 
But overall, I'm pretty happy where I'm living. The country provides support to financially struggling families such as my family and I'm happy to have been born here.
