Neighbouring countries

Our country is composed of several islands and islets, 7,107 to be exact. We normally just visit just other islands rather than visit neighboring countries because they are far and traveling to them can cost a fortune. There's also the visa and passport thing to accomplish and in our country it is not that easy, not that difficult either. I have always dream of traveling to many on the places in our country and in other countries as well. I do hope I get to fulfill this dream someday. I envy you for being able to experience the traveling so much while still so young and even until now. Our country has a long term problem with another neighboring country over ownership of an island that is near to the both. Our history claims that it is ours but there seems to be some conflict on this. I hope it gets settled, and of course I'm rooting for our country to win.

first off, let me congratulate you in having a wonderful country. i worked in Skanderborg for 18 months and i loved my time there. lovely clean streets and great people. I live in Scotland and our neighbour is England. i worked there for 4 years and again througly enjoyed my time there. even though we are both members of the UK there are many different cultural differences, one of them being dialect! The only thing i can say is that i would reccomend to anyone to work outside of your birth country as you learn so much from other people and how they conduct themselves. I have been to many countries and have nothing but positive stories to tell about their people.

My home country is the United Kingdom and I live in the part that is called England. Others parts of the United Kingdom are Wales which I did my degree in, Scotland which I visited and Northern Ireland which I haven't ever been to. I have traveled to the Republic of Ireland though. When I was 20 years old I was made redundant from my office job in London. The IRA had bombs in London during that time. one man had the job of ringing all the departments to see if all the workers had arrived at work. He worried one might die due to an IRA bomb. One day I was thankfully running late and missed the London Victoria train. That day the IRA bombed the London Victoria train station. The thing I wish to see in Northern Ireland is the coastline and its famous Giants Causeway. I have traveled to other neighboring countries of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway. Due to the United Kingdom being an island its neighbors are across the water. These days there is not anymore IRA bombing. In July 2005 a bomb was put on bus in London.

I live in Chile and my neighbouring countries are Argentina, Perú and Bolivia. I have visited the capital of all of them and have also gone to Bariloche in Argentina. I feel very near their music and culture. I think that problems betwen countries have to do more with the people in power than with the whole population.

My country, the Philippines, is a part of the so called ASEAN group (Association of South East Asian Nations). It is composed of 10 countries namely, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. As part of the group, resident of the member nations can travel to any member country without applying for a visa except for Myanmar. I only began traveling abroad when I was in college. My first international trip was in Thailand. As of now, I am only able to visit 6 out of the 9 neighboring member countries. To the north of the Philippines, there is Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan. Filipino residents can visit Hongkong and Macau without any visa. While Taiwan, you have to apply a visa if you don't have any valid Schengen, US, UK, Japan or Australian visa. I was able to visit the 3 countries as well. Thanks to the emergence of the budget airlines, travel to these neighboring countries has been made easy.

I live in the Philippines. I have never tried visiting my neighboring countries yet. I am planning to when I have a stable job since I am still studying right now and don't have the money yet to afford traveling. Anyway, my neighboring countries are Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Asian countries. I am really excited to be able to visit these places soon. With regards to problems, issues or conflict of my country to another, yes, there is. I may point out about the Spratly Islands issue because a lot of neighboring countries are claiming it. Philippines is one of the claimants.

I have visited all the nearest neighbouring countries to England, being Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France and I have also been to Germany. Of these i know Scotland the best I have never been to Denmark or any of the Scandinavian countries but I would like someday. all the best urban

I am in Pakistan, we have china, india, afganistan and iran in our neighborhood and i have not visited any of them due to visa restrictions. we have only good relations with China and Iran. The other 2 countries India and Afghanistan are considered as enemy states so its not easy to visit them. I am interested in visiting Scandinavian countries first of all, if i ever got a chance. I think you are a lucky person that you are living there.

China is a big countries with 15 neighbor countries on land. But unfortunately, I have visited none of them. In China, we have a tradition that not leaving home when your parents are still alive. So in the past, most of people even do not go out of their village in their whole life. Now things changed a lot, young people have to go out to earn money to support themselves. But still few of them have the chance to visit other countries. In most cases, the government do not want you do abroad. For if people here know how people in other countries lead their lives, they will not go back to China again.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei are some of the neighbors of my country Philippines. I haven't been to this country yet but I am sure it must be a good experience to explore these places. Thailand is is somehow close to the Philippines as well and been there to one part of the country and I will say " the place is beautiful". It is in Phuket. The beaches, the food and the people are very cool. Hong Kong is considered as Philippine neighbor as well as it is only more 1 hour travel by plane and this city is pretty cool as well because of its high buildings, nature, sub-way and more scene to view. Wish to visit some of the other places one day...

I'm in Asia and i think it's really mysteirious and i would definitely go round it since i had a plan.Also i really wish that i can go and visit europe.Anyway,since they are beautiful and therefore attracted many tourists,travel there would really a great thing to do.lol,Japan or Vietnam or Nepal all mysteirous to me.
