Neighbour countries - which differences did you notice?

One difference is quite obvious: Denmark is flat, Norway is anything but flat :-) The most famous statue in Copenhagen is a small mermaid, the most famous statue in Oslo is a small and very angry boy. And Denmark don't usually have real winters. When you cross the border from Norway the Sweden you will notice that whereas the houses in Norway are placed as far away from eachother as possibly, the houses in Sweden are placed next to eachother and form villages :-) There's not really any villages in Norway. And there's much more forest in Sweden. Finland also has much more forest than Norway, it's flater and there's not so much wind so there's lot of nice reflections in the thousands lakes. They drink weird things with tar and eat weird things with tar. Finland, Sweden and Denmark have much more exciting grocery stores than Norway. Ours are very boring and quite expensieve. Our last neighbour is Russia. Russia is big, have nukes and other scary things and use strange letters. Not sure if they have very exciting grocery stores, I think they might have some really dreary ones and some good ones but I suppose most of them will have vodka :-)

We, Greeks, are a lot like Italians... Also, after so many years of Turkish occupasion we have some similarities with Turkey. Prices in Turkey are better, the price may be the same but you get more stuff/food. It is true that people who live near each other exchange cultures, so it is only natural that there are a lot of similarities. And that is a fact all over the globe.

I live in England which is part of Britain. Britain is an island comprising of England, Wales and Scotland. It is part of the United Kingdom which includes those three places plus Northern Ireland. My home country is not connected to any other countries by land. Our nearest neighbors are France, Belgium and the Netherlands on one side and on the other side the Republic Ireland. French people tend to speak very quickly and they like that I learned French when I was at secondary school. I spoke some French in Belgium. That was a big mistake because I was in the Flemish area. I found Paris to be a beautiful capital city however it was ever so expensive and touristy. Brussels is less interesting however it does have some lovely architecture. I love it in the Netherlands and feel very at home there. I lived there for four months as a student. I did a day trip to Dublin when I was a university student. The sea was so rough that I had to stay overnight. I liked it but found it wildly pricey. I didn't have much luck learning Dutch because they are excellent at speaking English. It was funny speaking to them in Dutch because then reply was in fluent English. My German friends had that in fluent German.

Our neighbors are Nepal, Burma , Pakistan and Thailand. The languages culture of Nepal and Pakistan are about same. But culture and language of Burma are quite different.

I am living in the Philippines. And our neighbor countries from the south and north are very different. On the north we have Hongkong, Taiwan and China which are predominantly Chinese. And on the south, we have Malaysia and Indonesia which are Malays. We do have some similarities with Malaysians and Indonesians though we are a bit different from the 2 of them. Maybe because of our long history with the Spaniards that made us different. Our language is a bit influenced by the West especially the way we construct sentences. But when you try to decipher our language with those of Malaysia and Indonesia word per word, there are a lot of similarities. In the ways or manner we do things or mingle with others, I can say Malaysians, Indonesians and Filipinos are friendly and hospitable...

I never visited any country , but I hope one day i will visit many country just to have fun with family

I live in Chile and we have several differences with our neighbor countries. There are differences in speach even though we all speak Spanish. But immigrants from other lands have left their imprint in language pronunciation and in culture. Even the food is very different. As economy changes, there are also other variables to consider. Peru has more economic problems than what we have here, so these last years we have had a big peruvian immigration. Before that we had people from Korea and when I was little there was a big immigration of people from Spain and later on from Europe (due to WWII). Lebanese camw and stayed. Right now many of them are the richest people in my country. Peru had a big chunese popullation and Argentina recieved many italians. As for Bolivia, the greatest part of its population is still native (aimara).
