Kyougen is play.This is very joyful.

And,I like Japanese style.

When We see different appearance person,we blame that person.
I don't want to blame.

Frankly speaking, I am not so proud of being a Taiwanese. But, there's still something for Taiwanese to be proud of, such as the democracy, plentiful hot springs, hard working people (Taiwanese's working time is the longest in the world), computer-related industries, billiard players, etc. Maybe Taiwan is not the best place to live in compared to other countries in the world, but to look at the bright side, Taiwan has its own features and attractions which make people want to stay here. Just try the traditional Taiwanese food and you'll fall in love with it! I think every country has its good and bad aspects. Try to look at the good aspect, and you'll see that every country always has something to be proud of.

I come from China. I love my country for three reasons. First of all, I love Chinese food. China has different kind of food in different provinces. Each province has its own special food. For example, Guangdong province is famous for its seafood. The seafood is really good. And such as Sichuan province, its spicy food is good. And the second reason I like China is it has a very long history. Chinese has good patrimony and custom. For example, I live with our parents and take care of them when they get old. The third reason I like China is it is beautiful. China is a very good country for travel. If you go to china, you can go to Beijing to visit Great wall, you can go to Yunnan province to visit its old town and so on. In my opinion, China is a really good country. Although it is a developing country, it is not as rich as the USA or Canada, but it is good.

I was born in Russia, grew up in Israel and been living in the U.S for a while. I don't feel that I belong to a single country, so naturally I can't say that I am proud of this country or another. I can say that I find excessively nationalistic people to be irritating. I hate people who raise their heads just because of their nationality and think that they are better from other people just because their nationality doesn't happen to be the same as theirs. I think that all the problems in this world come from an excessive nationalism. People treat each other so badly, fight with each other, kill, rape, all just because they feel that their (superior, according to them) nationality gives them a right to do so. They forget that all people are essenyially the same.

Hello everybody,
I'm Morrocan and Muslim. I'm proud of my country and much of my religion. I like morrocan people because they are warm, enjoyed, cheerful, helpful...and relationship between the family member's is very privileged. Morroco is very beautiful country you can found it diversity of landscapes and every state has a particular tradition, food, behaviour,clothes,etc...
At least, we are open-minded people, we accept different culture and don't have any objection to live in harmony with whole the world.
Have a nice time.

Unfortunately, I'm not very pround of the USA right now, because we are turning into a neocolonial power that likes to invade other countries not to help them, but for our own benefit.
