Your Top 5 Countries In The World?

[Trufflehound]

In no order:

The Netherlands - contractual obligation really. Been my home for most of the past 25 years, I've done very well out of them, I'm happy here and have no desire to move anywhere else, so I guess I must quite like it...
Cambodia - beautiful country, blown away by how a people who went through so much misery could be so open and welcoming.
India - like others have mentioned, an assault on the senses like nowhere else, but amazingly rewarding.
Slovenia - hard to pin down why, I just loved it.
Japan - because I flipped a coin between Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and Botswana, and Japan won...

Pleased to see at least one other person included Austria.
Austria has the beauty of the Alps and snowy proper winters (if you love that sort of thing), beautiful towns and villages, gorgeous hotels and guesthouses, with friendly fun-loving natives. They booze and party like us Brits, but from what I've seen normally without the fighting or anti-social chavvy-ness.

Updated list. As to who owns the Cook Islands, Virgin Islands, Zanziber etc will leave to others!

Reardless of own 'owns' them, they aren't countries in their own right. So surely cannot be included.

Tactics. Am in a Villa with the family. Gets me out of the washing up!
It's raining here this morning. Should have stayed in Brighton this week!

 

[Leighgull]

I go to Plymouth to get my Bongo serviced every year but don't count it as a holiday. Pleasant maybe. I always thought more people holidayed in London than Plymouth but I am often wrong.

Is that what you tell your missus? Aren't there any Bongo services in Brighton? God knows there's enough white blokes with dreadlocks playing them in the north laines.

My Bongo has a V6 2.5 petrol engine and hard to service that in Brighton as most are diesel. A few days by Plymouth sea Lido and walking in Dartmoor makes it an enjoyable trip and the missus is glad to get rid of me for a few days.
