What countries have you been to? What was your nicest experience? What was your worst experience?
What culture differences have you experienced?

I´ll start myself:

I´ve been to Rome, Italy, to several places in France: Paris, Nice, Monaco, Cannes, several places in the Alsace (northern east) and to Bochum, Frankfurt, München and currently in Köln, Germany.

My nicest experiences are the nature in France, the architecture in Rome and Paris, the Dom in Köln and the way people act towards each other in Germanty.

My worst experiences are that I was held hostage at age 14 in France once, it was really traumatizing. I was really pissed-off and agressive the days after that. Nothing bad happened btw... ´nother thing was the way french and Italian people acted towards tourists..

Culture differences are that Italians communicate very expressive, and are very religious most of the times.
French people....what I´ve experienced, are very nationalistic and not very open towards foreigners, blah.
Germans know their values, they stand up for old people in the bus and do not throw garbage on the streets, it´s way cleaner there compared to other countries and my own country.

Now you guys!

Italy (the road is shorter if you get the ship to Italy from Greece), F.Y.R.O.M (second time), Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. Next time I'll ask my parents to go to Switzerland or France before going to Poland. :3

Yeah, we stayed on each for one day, and that's because we didn't have much time. We would stay longer if we had the time. ^^
