YAY! I loved Germany; Germany was so beautiful. Of course I've only been to 3 European places so far...

... I'd like to check out Norway too. But, my heart belongs in Deutschland.

I like Germany, but I'm guessing it's listed as "favorite" because they're basically the only big, rich, powerful country that doesn't really do much on a global stage. They're almost apolitical, so don't anger too many people. Places like the US, UK, France, Japan, etc. are too polarizing.

But Germany is hardly the most friendly country (people tend to be a bit cold) nor is it the most obvious place to visit (places like Italy have more to offer).

Forbes said Switzerland is the most reputable country of 2014 like two months ago, followed by Canada and Sweden.

Germany was like, 10th on that list.

My three favorite countries are, in order:

USA
UK
Germany

I love me some Germany and actually Germany and the UK are sort of neck to neck in my book. I realize that's just me, but it doesn't surprise me that others feel the same way. I'm not all that weird. LOL!

I love the tone he has when delivering the surprising news. "No joke. Now the weather"
