Tell us about your country!

lol this thread suddenly became a weather forecast.

The Bad Side

Anyway my country is Philippines, Greed, Poverty, corruption this 3 words describe my country, but i love the people of my country, different tribes,cultures,race i love my country but i hate our government to slow in development cause all they do is spend people’s tax money for their own interest. politics is business here, win an election and live a luxurious life. my anger also grew stronger when my government can’t even defend itself from other countries that tries to steal our resources( spratly island shoal )

Sorry if the topic became political, just need to voice out.

The Good Side

If your on vacation we have alot of good beach resorts, all sorts of different spots and places to visit like the chocolate hills, Baguio, Banaue etc.. and on top of that exotic foods and alot of sea foods. hotels and accommodations are very affordable. see sample images of good spots.

- Pakistan has the seventh largest standing armed forces in the world and is a declared nuclear weapons state.

- It is one of the largest agricultural country.

You guys need some rain? Here, have some from the UK. We’ve got plenty.

I’ll help! But I did get to see the sun for about one whole hour today!

All we hear is too much rain or too hot, who’s got a perfect 24C and blue skies?

I think it’s better to change this thread’s title to Tell us the weather in your country :))

This Thread is very interesting, lots of professionals around the world talking about their countries/culture. This is the first time I feel I know something about Pakistan or Russia. (something beside the weather!) Thanks!

South Africa … the birth place and home of our beloved Nelson Mandela whom we call ‘Madiba’ which is a respectful title for ‘Father’. He turns 94 tomorrow so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADIBA . He is being visited by Bill Clinton this week to discuss the building of a children’s hospital.

The picture is an exercise i did while learning Photoshop last year, before i could use Illustrator, which would have been much more successful
