So, "visited" some places lately.

Ireland - I adore it. So beautiful. People care so much about their small houses, wow!
Lithuania - pretty neat.
Estonia - nice but boring.
Finland - pretty nice.
Norway - it's huge and beautiful.
South Africa - way better than one would expect. Some places look pretty much like tundra.
Australia - beautiful.
New Zealand - extremely beautiful, almost like Norway (which is #1).
Big Island - looks too familiar; if you recognize the road immediately...
St.Petersburg (Russia) - ok, it's much cleaner now. Anyway, not interested.
Poland (Gdan'sk) - so neat and nice, I would not expect it.
Bulgaria - so poor and pathetic, omfg...
Portugal - as poor as Bulgaria, but looks funny and careless
HongKong - mixed; the houses of poor people look rather nice and funny
Singapore - I don't want to go there; neutral, castrated, no culture
Thailand - wow, so clean, neat, I would never expect
Italy - way too familiar, like home.
Botswana - pretty exotic, want more.
West Virginia - I do not want to go there, it's disgusting. Can I say "Chelyabinsk"?
Antarctica - judging by Google street view, it's a pretty small place populated by penguins and tourists.

And it's funny to try to guess the country in as little moves as possible.

:) We drove through Kansas; and, well, while it was not as disgusting as Nebraska, it was pretty void of anything I would appreciate.

Of course one has to live in a place to have a better picture... or maybe not; there must be beautiful places in Siberia, but every time I was there my only desire was to get the fuck out of there, asap.

What sort of things do you appreciate in geography/culture?

Harmony in nature, or an awe, like Grand Tetons or Grand Canyon; people loving their environment; people being natural where they are and not depressed.
