Favourite European country, Veeky Forums?

>t. never been to Greece

thank God for Tourism. People want to come see a bunch of old stones, haha.

Should have made Switzerland grey

I've wasted a month of my life in that shithole of a country. People are arrogant, loud, obnoxious, smelly, dirty, sweaty, always yelling like they are fucking italians, getting angry at stupid shit, Athenes smell so fucking bad, full of mix between commieblocks and sandnigger huts, its frigin hot in there, no greenery anywhere, just yellow stones like in a fucking desert, everything is hella overpriced there, the tourist attractions are filled with tourists traps, plus they are also smelly and dirty, with service there being mean and making faces like you are bothering them on their vacation, all their products are just worthless ugly trinkets for tourists that people buy out of pure stupidity, they product literally nothing of quality, and they charge fees for fucking everything they can just to rip off people even more. And don't even get me started on their politics.

France for being utterly ruthless when that virtue is called upon them, and then being baguette-baking, wine-sucking gentlemen as soon as all's fine and merry.

Don't think there could be a more schizophrenic people out there.

You are obviously an immigrant who lived his life in the shitty parts of the city centre. While Greece's politics are truly shit and the country is very disorganised, the rest that you described is similar in every major tourist city. It's a shame you didn't get to experience the good parts of the city. The mountains and forests of Parnitha, the beaches of Sounio, the hidden gem restaurants and taverns, the cool bars or the fancy, leafy neighbourhoods. Besides, as with any country, Athens is just a city, Greece itself is quite big and has the prettiest islands and some of the most unspoilt nature in Europe. Maybe you should go back when you have some money and a different attitude, it seems like it was a bad time in your life.

Italy. I am Greek and they are like a (vastly) better version of us. It's the only country in Europe, other than my own, where I could imagine myself living long-term.

Amazing food, friendly people, beautiful country-side and weather, Mediterranean outdoors-living culture, incredible history/art/architecture wherever you look and a general elegance. Dat bella forma

The only things we beat them at are beaches, fish and basketball.

They also seem to manage balancing a relaxed, slightly chaotic Southern attitude, which gives you a very pleasant quality of life, with just enough organisation and efficiency to produce the great things that Italian industry is famous for.

>immigrant
>although he stayed there merely one month

The UN defines someone as an immigrant solely if they reside somewhere else for more than six months.

And I've been to Greece too, and can relate to what he reminisces about: Athens is a complete disappointment, and even climbing the Acropolis does not soothe your wounded expectations, since from there you can gaze at all the ugly commieblocks strewn about the city.

The only saving grace to your country are the islets, where almost everything is paid by either EU donations, or tourists overspending.

I mean for fuck's sake, I'm an EU citizen, and everyone here knows how much we pay or Greece. Your country doesn't even have a prosper fiscality system accommodated to it, and when I was there, no one seemed to be working at all.

So in other words, Greece is very pretty, but it seems that you're doing your best to ruin it all.

Spain. Every part of her history is so neat

>The UN defines someone as an immigrant solely if they reside somewhere else for more than six months.
Most immigrants pass through Greece (or Italy) on their way to Europe. It is not uncommon for them to live here for a month or so.

>And I've been to Greece too, and can relate to what he reminisces about: Athens is a complete disappointment, and even climbing the Acropolis does not soothe your wounded expectations, since from there you can gaze at all the ugly commieblocks strewn about the city.
Athens is a truly enormous city. Every foreigner who I know and lives there loves it but they all agree on one thing. NEVER attempt to visit Athens without a local or at least someone with local knowledge. There are truly beautiful parts of the town and its outskirts that you will never get to see because you don't know about them. It's sad and the first thing the people in charge of Athens' tourism should have fixed ages ago.

>The only saving grace to your country are the islets, where almost everything is paid by either EU donations, or tourists overspending.
Islands pay their own way, the EU doesn't give them shit. They have so much internal and foreign tourism that they are entirely self-sufficient.

>I mean for fuck's sake, I'm an EU citizen, and everyone here knows how much we pay or Greece. Your country doesn't even have a prosper fiscality system accommodated to it, and when I was there, no one seemed to be working at all.
That's your own impression, Greeks work longer hours than everyone else in the EU. Source: OECD

>So in other words, Greece is very pretty, but it seems that you're doing your best to ruin it all.
I completely, whole-heartedly agree. Greece's population consists of roughly 50% incredibly industrious/clever/efficient people working like dogs and 50% incredibly lazy, corrupt, idiotic people who sit on their ass and do nothing because they play the system (political connections are everything).

...

Alright then.

I really didn't intend on being rude though! Those were merely my impressions from when I'd journeyed through Greece, but I admit that I can have a certain bias, since I seem to hate every country I visit where the temperature exceeds more than 30•C.

Like you say, Athens has its lovely spots in some parts, but you can infer that they're really only parts where tourists are meant to be secluded. The remainder of the city where the locals are must be hellish to live.

And about EU donations, I might've overstated those, but there were a great number of hotels, or diving centers bearing a sign saying "funded by the EU project pool".

Also, my distaste of Greece might leave if ever they kick out Tsirpas. I think that the whole of the EU was annoyed to no end really, when the Greek allowed themselves the luxury of electing a super socialist candidate when your country is spared from crisis only by EU help.

Don't worry; I'll like Greece again in five years or so!

check out these hot opinions

Everyone has their problems.

That's okay, your experience largely matches my own. Ahenians themselves leave the city in hordes during August and the city turns into a ghost-town. The majority of the neighbourhoods simply have too much concrete to make living in +30*C comfortable and whoever stays behind for work, spends as little time outside as possible.

>Like you say, Athens has its lovely spots in some parts, but you can infer that they're really only parts where tourists are meant to be secluded. The remainder of the city where the locals are must be hellish to live.
Other way round. Tourist places, in Athens and Greece are usually overrated and overpriced and people with local knowledge get to enjoy the true gems. Many Athenian neighbourhoods are too packed for comfortable living but don't forget this is a city where you only really go home to sleep. This is really only a problem in the city-centre, people living in the northern suburbs live in leafy green neighbourhoods and people in the southern suburbs have the immense luxury of hitting the beach after work from May until October.

Tsipras is going soon but I'm afraid his replacements won't be any better. Our political class has always been rotten. We have learned to progress despite of our governments rather than due to them. That's why many Greeks have a strong liberal streak (in the European sense of the word, not the American).

P.S. Next time you're gonna visit ask a local. Places like the ones in my pics are all within 20mins drive from the centre.

Why is Sweden orange?

Why do you dislike Spain? I do to, but only because they seem to select their national squads (both in football and basketball) based on how much of a cunt the player is.

France

>tfw bracing yourself for France inevitably flipping out again.

I'm a Barca fanboy kek

Let's hope they don't flip out on anyone within the EU. They are the only other European country except for the UK with a very capable and well-equipped military right now.

Oh of course, I should have noticed that.
Castellanos = worse -llanos

The answer should be pretty obvious.

probably minoan crete

Y'all pretty good, Erdogan been pissing me off lately but Turks are fine as a people outside of some non-Western values. Similar goes for Russia.

Are you an alien user or do you just consider no land worthy of being called your homeland?

im an emperor penguin from mars, ok?

What'd Belgium do?

... and here are the results from Bavaria: no points for anybody!

...

France, Germany, and Italy. France for being historically the single most powerful European nation post Rome for nearly a thousand years and constantly cucking the English and based Napoleon mainly. Germany because Germanic tribes were interesting and so was Bismarck. And Italy mainly due to the importance, culture, and legacy of the Roman Empire and its influence on modern Western culture.

>pax-anglo based

Easily France, Austria, and then Italy.

Special mention for the Most Serene Republic.

turkey

>pax-anglo based
Are you memeing?

>Poland
Innovative system of government. Elective monarchy is literally the perfect system and I appreciate what the Poles were able to do with what was largely worthless territory to the east of them. I also enjoy their their culture and their resilience.

>Italy
I love the idea of the city state. I hope they make a comeback eventually because cities competing amongst each other is what builds greatness.

>Austria
A land of great statesmen that were able to keep something that by all means shouldn't have existed stable and culturally flourishing for most of the last milennium. I would absolutely kill to visit 18th or 18th century Vienna.

love you Andorra

NICE TRY MEHMET

muh maymay

West Slavs are a cool guys.

Also Russians are alright, at least they, as a people not a state, are not a bunch of cucks like Germans, who would take Koenigsburg back if they weren't bitches.

Also KAT (Turks, not Taigs).

What's your beef with ex-yu?

who is that rival clan that you dislike?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jura,_Scotland

Not a big fan of Eastern and Southern Europeans tbqh lads

interesting, I have family just north in mull, small world eh

>butt-ravaged Remainian detected

Why the hate for the Norrtälje Municipality and Älmsta in particular?

The city of Stockholm and the Swedish government have destroyed the reputation of an amazing country. I dislike Malmo for a similar reason. The rest of Sweden is lovely though.

The opposite actually, I've got a negative attitude towards Eastern Europeans because of mass immigration by them to England

Fucking poles get out my country

>Cyprus is okay but Greece isn't
Have you even been to Cyprus? It's like Greece for plebs.

You're a pretty cool guy, user.

As someone who frequents with Swedes often, since they literally evacuate their own country to come to mine, it's incredible to me how brainwashed you are.

I've always considered us Norwegians to be "herd-like" and conformist too, but I had no idea that there could exist an even worse category.

What?

what is this meme anyways? turks are no more roaches than finns are mongols.
