What countries do you crush on?

If you don't like it here why don't you fuck off to the rainforest
The thing is, even if you did do that, you'd still be one of those English tossers in the rainforest with a stupid accent, struggling with the heat, not being able to pull off wearing shorts and embarrassing yourself simply by being alive.

I find it near impossible to get my head around this as I hate England so much. It feels like depression manifested as a geographical location. Just a wretched, cursed place with shit weather and full of awful, stupid people.
this is what england looks like in my imagination:

and all the englanders are making little banters and drinking pints and celebrating life.

I did buy some books that are set in Turkey, and I've read some Orhan Pamuk. Do you know how hard it is to find good books set in Georgia though? Quite hard apparently. Anyone got any tips? The sort of thing in which Tbilisi is a character?

I guess Armenia is mountain country... Georgia I don't even know to be honest... I imagine there must be some windswept steppe in some of those countries somewhere. I guess I'm thinking of Paradjanov films, magical eastern sounding instruments and poetry on the aforementioned steppe.
I want to live in this world


That's set in Georgia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surami

you can just hear the birds chirping, the foxes walking around, the only thing missing is some smoke coming from one of the chimneys cos a little englander is making a stew for his family.

I had to double check that wasn't in my village, Kinver, for a second. We have rockhouses.

The one I posted or the one yyaldrin did?
the one you posted is a very old one i reckon. at least ten years old. not much of that left. you can see from the hoardings they are probably about to pull it down and replace it with something far worse

England has hideous estates and lovely villages, it has illiterate racists and beautiful authors. There's fifty million people, it's hard to sum it up in one sentence. I certainly don't hate the place but there is lots to hate and lots to love too I think.

version lives on the outskirts of Huddersfield and refuses to ever leave the area so no wonder hes got a jaundiced view of England.
