  1. But that's true of most countries anywhere: great if you have enough money, but if you don't, not. At this point, 21% of Canadian families are skipping meals in order to make ends meet, and the situation is even worse in the UK. Superficially, both are great countries, but the lived reality for surprisingly huge chunks of their populations is anything but.

  2. Europe is not a continent. Like India, Europe is a subcontinent and the Westernmost peninsula of Asia.

  3. Turkey, Cyprus and Israel outrank Russia and China?! 😂

  4. Should have seen the islands 40 years ago. Aesthetically, they've gone totally down the hill since then.

  5. ​ @geograexperts1554  Not quite. I visited Sri Lanka in 2021 and got mugged in Mirissa. The police had video tapes of the area and did absolutely nothing to find and arrest the thieves while playing nice with me. Then, on leaving the country, I discovered I couldn't exchange the Sri Lanka rupees back to a Western currency, which cost me several hundred dollars. I met many very nice people in Sri Lanka, and the country is very beautiful, but the security situation for tourists is not good. Btw, the locals themselves told me that such muggings have become relatively common over the last decade.
