what is the best foreign country you've ever been to ?

[ILOVEBHA]

China for me what a great country with so much to see and do.

Mauritius was fantastic.

Brazil - a country that size has to have everything - the biggest rivers, the biggest waterfalls, amazing wildlife, thousands of miles of beaches - so some have to be good, Ihla Grande (my favourite island) and above all Rio - the greatest city in the world.

I'm a culture vulture. I like places with lots of history and fantastic scenery. For me the most exciting place I have been has got to be Peru. Scenery is unbelievable, people are very friendly and it's full of the most amazing ruins. And you get to eat guinea pig

I'll second that - Macchu Picchu is everything it's cracked up to be and more, want to go back to see Lago Titicaca.

Italy is fantastic, and I want to see more of the US than just Florida and Boston.

Ooh, decisions, decisions. It depends a lot on how I am feeling regarding my travelling priorities. Burkina Faso (for the people), Georgia (for Svaneti - the greatest place on Earth), Kyrgyzstan (for the beauty of the landscape) and Lebanon for reasons difficult to put into words, but which revolve around the complexity of the politics and society, the ways in which it has dealt with its recent history, and the women of West Beirut - the most gorgeous I have ever seen. It also has Baalbek, which alone makes it one of the most amazing places on Earth.

China for me what a great country with so much to see and do.

Oh. It struck me as the most racist society I have ever encountered. I hated it (except for Xinjiang - have you been there?)

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Turkey. The locals are very friendly, the sea is beautiful and everything is cheap.

Absolutely. agree!!!.... where in Turkey?

What are we looking for? Best? Or most "foreign"?

As an addict of Italy, I would always rate that country highly. But Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic have delivered just about everything I was looking for.

If you really want "foreign", my recommendation would be Omsk, in Siberia. On the face of it, as modern as Western Europe (rather like Birmingham, in fact), but with people who have no experience whatsoever of tourism or foreigners. And, therefore, a genuine interest in the few foreign visitors that they get. And all the generous hospitality that anyone could hope for.

Take no money. There's nothing to buy. And someone will keep you plied with free food and drink for the whole time you're there.

 

[SussexHoop]

Mine would have to be America, probably New York.

Got to agree with New York ... only place I've been to for a holiday and gone back a second time. I'd go again too!

Turkey. The locals are very friendly, the sea is beautiful and everything is cheap.

Yeah, real friendly

God there are so many options. Best overall would probably be Germany as it is so diverse and has everything a country could offer. But there are so many amazing places in the world that I have never been dissapointed at any of them apart from that Shite hole known as Ibiza. Went there on a lads holiday about 12 years ago and hated every minute of it

Ibiza for me, you cant beat it. Everything you want from a holiday - Sun, music, women, drink & drugs. Italy was also a great place for totally different reasons. Lovely scenery and beutiful cities.
