>Have you ever been to another country?
Yes.

>Where was it and how was it?

>Canada
Very boring but beautiful nature. Cities are smaller than what is on the map. Not much to do. Québec City was the only highlight. Best to go in fall.

>Mexico
Food was bleh but had a crazy time in Cancún. Beautiful nature and real freedom.

>Italy
Food was disappointing. Got my phone snatched by a guy on a scooter. They have no concept of queues and you had to be aggressive to get anything done. However, it is very accessible and full of things to do so I still liked it. I'm just used to my American creature comforts.

>Russia
Depressing as you would expect. Got spit on by gopniks and robbed by kids while riding the Trans-Siberian Railroad. The history was cool though.

>China
Hellhole. Couldn't see 5 feet past me due to the smog. Constantly surrounded by merchants selling me cheap trinkets. Pressured into buying a Chairman Mao watch which fell apart as soon as it was handed to me. They were obsessed with communism like it was a cult. That was the only part I found interesting but I had this overwhelming feeling of everything being fake and cheap. Was crowded and stressful. Women kept grabbing my curly blonde hair. Food made me gag. Nothing like the Chinese food back home. This was early 2010s so maybe it's different now.

>Iceland
Comfy. I drank out of the stream of a glacier. Everywhere was some kind of waterfall. The landscape was crazy. The grass covered houses were vibrant and cozy. The people were so nice and beautiful.

>South Africa
Loved it. Was surreal seeing a wild giraffe eating from a tree like it was just an ordinary deer. The locals were happy and friendly even though they lived in slums. The sunset was big and orange like in the start of Lion King. I didn't know that actually happens in real life. Got harassed at a local market by merchants who wanted me to buy their stuff but unlike China these were quality trinkets for souvenirs
