It's Chernobyl, which was abandoned a few decades ago. Any place would look so if it was abandoned for enough time.
Ukraine has the highest rate of HIV in Europe, 2nd lowest average income in Europe and has more stray dogs than all non-Slavic European countries combined. I don't think you're in the position to call other countries "hell"
Anyone here grow up in a country with a tropical climate? Many of these nations are poor and rely on tourism as their primary source of income. I would like to hear from people who were born and raised in such nations.
I'm Australian but was born in Singapore. Singapore is the only truly 'first world' or developed nations WHOLLY within the tropics (Australia and Taiwan are partially within the tropics and Hong Kong isn't a nation per se). Well Brunei might qualify but being an absolute monarchy it's kind of authoritarian. Singapore doesn't conjure up images of idyllic beaches with palm trees, but it does have beaches, and is of course a lot of beautiful beaches are easily accessible. But I don't know what it's like to live there, really, aside from trips back staying with relatives.
I won't say Singapore is a tropical paradise; it simply does not give off the vibe to me; coz to me, as a Singaporean, when you say tropical paradise, I think "Bali" or "Phuket" or "Langkawi
I was born and raised in the Philippines and it is now an industrializing nation where business process outsourcing and manufacturing are the thriving industries.
Our seasons are just sunny and rainy season, I would say extreme. When sunny, it is about 90'F with 80% to 100% humidity and to be honest, it gets really uncomfy. During summer, 2-3 times of shower a day is normal for us. Rainy season is the heavy monsoon season, we received 20-30 typhoons (or hurricanes) in a year, thunderstorms, heavy downpour and strong winds, we all have it there.
We have lots of rain forests, falls, mountains and beaches. Any coast are just 1-2 hours from anywhere you are.
Not the whole country though. I mean it's 60 degrees (16 C) in Baguio right now.
