Why My Country Is Special

I think the United States is much bigger than Europeans even imagine. Some states are so big you can drive all day and still be in the same state. Also it is very different depending on what part of the country you visit, we have desserts, jungles, forest, glaciers and much more.

I found the video interesting, especially the mixture of languages. What do you speak, besides English?

Our little county has more than one language - English and Southern LOL

We walked into Switzerland from Germany along a covered bridge. I didn't know about the 4 national languages.

Additional info.for me...not just about alps ;)

I wanna go to Switzerland, but I think it is impossible for me.

I live in a capitol city and can drive less that an hour to mountains or rural areas. I live in the north end of the city and am surrounded by the Owyhee mountains, Rockies and the Sawtooths.

It is also a very expensive country! I think Switzerland has to keep the compulsory military service scheme forever since it shares border with so many countries. Over here in Singapore, we have compulsory military service too. Personally I think the military service has lowered the standard. The young men do not become more responsible after serving for 2 years in the army. Many of them are still having attitude problem after they have gotten a job.

I wish to see Switzerland someday . In the Philippines , there are a lot of very , very nice resorts with white sand and also black sand . And we also have lots of waterfalls where we can also swim .

I like the Swiss embassy here. It looks like home. Compared to others it is so friendly.

Great info to know about Switzerland. I would love to go there someday. As for the good USA, Francis Scott key composed the national anthem and Betsy Ross made the first flag of 13 stripes and stars in the colonial days.

First, I want to say that I think Switzerland is one of the most beautiful countries I've visited. The USA has so much to offer in its arts, foods, medicine, and fashion. Besides that, it is geographically huge and diverse, with a wonderful history and melting pot of people, cultures, customs, and traditions.

A bit controversial but GB had the biggest empire in history....at its height it controlled nearly a quarter of the world. On a less controversial note, for a small county we've invented a lot of stuff

well apparently as the link says I am from [b][/b]India. As it is a matter of public knowledge i need not mention India is the largest democracy in the world and one of the most diverse nation on the grounds of terrain, languages, religions, ethnicity, customs, rituals well u name it.. Speaking of languages reminds me we got 28 Scheduled languages and hundreds of regional dialects some of them are getting extinct unfortunately Another thing which i love about my nation is the freedom it provides and how liberal it is needless to mention the unity we possess even after such vivid diversity..

Not sure there is anything that I know about the United States that everyone else doesn't already know

That is so interesting! Something about Australia... well, many would probably immediately think of New Zealand (to the East) or Indonesia (to the North) as closest countries to Australia. But it's actually a little-known country of Papua New Guinea that is Australia's closest neighbor. It's less than 4km away from Australia soil at its nearest point.

What a very nice country. How U like to reach Switzerland.

I'm from South Africa We have about 11 languages in our country. We have a huge hole with diamonds in. More info on the Big Hole in Kimberley, South Africa:

My country is one of the oldest countries in Europe. We produce rose oil. We have found the yogurt and the computer. And much more, airbag, answering machine
