I am a Filipino. I'm proud to be one. Despite the many differences and difficulties, I could see the positivity and the happiness within every Pinoy, especially when they excel in competitions. We don't easily give up,we strive to survive and we are very resourceful. The best thing about Philippines, are the people.How about in your country?

Hello blue_servant,
I am an Indian! I am very proud of my nation for every single thing!
The first of all being the Traditions and Cultures that we have. I feel so proud that, our country is the richest of all the other nations when it comes to traditions and cultures!
Well, the other thing is the UNITY IN DIVERSITY that remains in our country. So many languages, so many religions, so many different kinds of people. Yet we all are united as INDIANS. Feels too good to be true! :)
Other than that, our very own Taj Mahal! The greatest monument of all times, the symbol of LOVE and one of the wonders of the world!
Then comes our Father of Our Nation, MAHATMA GANDHIJI! Well, the person who fought for peace and our independence all his life!
Every little thing about my nation makes me feel proud and the best thing, we accept every person and every culture. We help everyone irrespective of what they are to us!
Then the most important thing is, the "FOOD". Indian food is a little spiced up but they taste like heaven. The best! :)
Well, these are the few things that popped in my mind at this instance!
There are lot more things that are best in INDIA.

Well thanks my friend for that very informative response. It refreshed my mind about basic things to know and appreciate in India. I totally agree with the pride you share about your country. How i wish I could visit your country soon. My ex-girl friend is half-Indian, very exotic in beauty and very dominant in character.I love Taj Mahal. Last year, a showbiz couple in our country, decided to get married in Taj Mahal. What a beautiful place to profess love of forever. Thanks for the response! Take Care!

Thank you!! :)
Yeah, you are welcomed to INDIA always. We will accept you with open hands! Warm welcome!
Nice to hear that your ex-girlfriend is an half-Indian. Well, yea, i need to accept that Indian women's beauty is classic and they are pretty dominant too. That comes with the courage that we have been possessed from times immortal! :)
Take care!
Cheers!

Wow.China has a rich history.We study a lot about your country especially in our Asian Civilization Subject. True enough, up to the present time, China emerged as one of the top countries around the world. Just wanna share to you: i don't know how to use a chopstick. I'd rather use my hand than end up hungry..=)

I'm American, & so give the standard answer: Freedom.
But that's partly the WORST thing, because it means that you can't hardly-ever trust anyone unless there's 'something in it for them.'
But of course, that makes it SO MUCH SWEETER when you find someone you CAN trust!

Well, apart from the advancements in US, the freedom is indeed the very reason why every American seems to be very outspoken, expressive and dominant in all areas. Though I envy that liberation, I'm also saddened because some had really abused their capacity to decide and to live to the point of harming others. Anyhow, I supposed you're a good American citizen and I honor you for answering this question.
