Just saw on the news today a hospital/abortion ship is moored off the coast as women are dying from botched abortions as they are illegal. Not something I would admire about a culture to be honest.
I can't help but be moved by the Muslim population in Mostar, Bosnia whenever I visit.
Call them Muslims, Bosnians.. whatever.. the hardships they have had to face and still endure to this day, whilst the croats over their "side" of the river enjoy a top class university, brand new shopping centres and good homes etc, the muslim "side" of the river live in buildings still war damaged from nearly 20 years ago, if they're lucky enough not to be living in the red cross ghetto that is, the university is falling apart and the main entrance is actually through the ghetto..
Truly beautiful City with a fantastic people, blighted by politics, religion and greed
I'd say Canada is pretty/very multicultural - which is a good thing.
In the number of years I spent there it seemed far more monocultural than Britain despite having a lot more legislation allowing for diversity. Perhaps there's a lesson there - the more a country allows citizens to 'be themselves' the more they'll identify with that country.

I greatly admire Brazilian resourcefulness, positive outlook and the ability to be content with what is often very little. I would have thought that any culture is far too multi-faceted to be admired in its entirety.
The relaxed way of life and importance of the family unit is wonderful. The outdoors nature of life here is also great for the kids. Did you know that kids don't start school here until there are 6?
I feel more in sync with Scandinavian countries, Denmark especially, the US is fun but I don't think I'd want to live there. On balance I think I like my native England the most.
I like Dutch tolerance, British individualism, and French, Italian and Spanish culture of living. I also have a lot of time for American distrust of the state, and the Japanese penchant for weirdness.

They need to sort it out admittedly. However, the USA is fully democratic, is our best allie and have been very good to us.

I thought Vancouver is now called Hongkouver...
If it is it's far less prevalent than the supposed 'Londonistan'.

Really? I don't admire them when they burn British lambs alive.
You have a thing for uniforms?:D
eh?
Forgot to mention a month off during Summer, and 18 months paid parental leave to split between parents!
Theyve been good to us? How?
WW2, The Falklands War would be a couple of examples.
EDIT: I should just add I'm not anglophobic in any way and I feel quite fortunate generally to have been born where I was.
