I love that someone wants to come to Engalnd for the rain, whilst everyone I know in England is desperate to go somewhere else where it is not raining (has been doing it for about 3 weeks constantly where I live, and I am starting to forget what the sun looks like, the only time I see it is when I am in game. )

Some great answers so far though.

#Edit for spelling.

Y'know, I look back at my post and actually start to feel a bit embarrassed about what I wrote...

Awe why?

Don't count this as an entry, please. I just wanted to share. I've had the opportunity to travel on business to many countries and I, like you, love to experience different cultures. I wish we could all know what it feels like to be the only person in the room who isn't a local, is a bit confused and doesn't speak the language. It gives you some much needed perspective and empathy for others. I often traveled alone or with a business colleague and had only a day or two in each country. For that reason, there are places I'd love to visit again with my husband and actually get to do some sightseeing. It's just my luck that he hates to fly.

Anyway, from my 2 whole days in Tokyo, I'd say that you should include eating shabu shabu on your video. It was the first time I've been taken to a fancy restaurant and had to cook my own dinner. Oh, and for the Americans at least, could you please show what a breakfast buffet looks like? I had expected fish because it's a Japanese staple, but I even saw hot dogs and, if I remember correctly, spaghetti(?) ... yes, for breakfast.

Enjoy your trip, TekLogan! And, good luck to all the contest participants!

You know, I actually have no idea. I guess I'm just one of those people that feel a bit embarrassed to talk about crazy ideas and ambitions that I had when I was younger...

Thank you, yours was good, too!

What country would you like to visit?:
Japan. If you really want to get specific, I really want to visit the Shibuya District.

Why would you like to go there?:
I'd really want to go Japan for two reasons.

1. The culture. I've been in love with it since I was little since my Step-father always loved it (he even speaks a little Japanese). We use to talk about going there all the time but it never happened. Then, when I got to college, one of my professors was from Japan. He would tell us stories (like when he 'skin bonded' with co-workers) and I always just thought it was so interesting.

Me and my boyfriend are saving up to visit.

2. Shibuya just looks like so much fun! All the shopping, fashion, cosplayers. ;]

Link a Youtube video here showing an example of the type of food in your country of choice:

Link

What is the country of your choice best known for?:

Honestly, probably anime.

Maybe their honor code and Sake too.

Is there any Simmer/Real Life Friend/Family member you would bring with you?:
My boyfriend :']

Detail for me, your ideal "Perfect" day in your country: Honestly, it would be spend like a total tourist. Shopping, exploring. Meeting locals. Eating authentic food. I'd also would love go to one of the smaller villages for a day.

How likely is your chance of visiting your country of choice within the next two years?:

Hopefully high.

What country do you think the Simmer below you will pick?:
England

Great entries so far guys, it's really inspiring to see the many different places around the world that offer such beauty and culture!

Don't forget that the contest closes in 6 days, Friday the 13th! (Dun Dun DUNNNN!)

I live in Canada and right now it's 23 degrees Celsius. I really wish it was raining. I can't take heat.
