When i hear India, i think of best IT people. When i hear Japan, I think of serious Gizmo Brainiacs. When I hear Philippines, I hear musicians and happy people. When i hear Russia, i think of ballerinas. When i hear US, i remember McGyver and handsome GI joes. When I hear China, i hear entrepreneurs and smell money. When I hear Switzerland, i hear Yodelihihu! When i hear Thailand, i remember spicy tamarinds. When I hear Italy, i remember shoes. When I hear France, i see fashion. What about your impressions on other countries?

When I hear the names of countries that I have been to I think of one or more of the particular places that I have been to like Australia and I think of the unique wildlife on Kangaroo Island. New Zealand I think on the excellent walking tracks and the scenic landscape.
Thinking of other countries that I haven't yet been to India I see the Taj Mahal. The Philippines I think of the tropical islands. Peru I think of Machu Picchu. Madagascar I think of the lemurs.
I think places in Western Europe are pricey and places in Eastern Europe are far cheaper. I can see a map of the USA in my mind. I really love traveling and my brain in filled with travel memories and wishes for traveling to other places in the future.

When I think of a country or a State the picture and structure of that particular country or state will come in to my mind first. Rest and all next.
