      That's hard to say,@@runningcountries . We have many beautiful cities. I live near Cologne, which is the third biggest city in Germany. Of course Berlin is very interesting because of its unique history. I guess the smaller ones with pitoresque houses are more charming. Like Rothenburg o. T. or Freiburg. I really don't know where to start tbh.

    Мусор сортируется и отвозится на мусороперерабатывающий завод.Хорошие дороги,и вообще везде очень чисто.
    Нет металлических решеток на окнах и отсутствуют металлические двери.Но работу найти не легко.

    Once you copy the playlist, leave messages under most populous comments in videos, drawing attention to your channel, not specifically mentioning the name of the holy lands, because they can block it if it's recognized.

    Sad to see the "Evict the tourists" graffiti still on the wall. We live in a huge tourist town in the states, and it's not a sentiment we have here.

      Well, I live in a town in CO that doesn’t want a lot of tourists…want the town to remain small, etc. That said, they have been inundated with retiring Texans and are mostly okay with it. I was in a place in Washington State out on the peninsula who had big signs saying ‘tourists go home!’

      Forget it. I lived there for a year in 2017, working in a fish packing factory(oh the glamour!). I found it to be a dull and depressing place and if you're a typical Brit who thinks Britain is a dump because of the weather (and it seems to be the ONLY reason Brits hate their own country) you'll hate it in Iceland. Summer temperatures of about 14c and pitch dark at about 3.30 for half the year. In winter, it never gets fully light and is pitch black until about 10in the morning. Add to that the unbelievable price of things (10 quid for a pint of beer) and the lack of much to do and I wonder why you actually want to go. It's also incredibly hard to make friends there. They also don't seem to like foreigners much and are incredibly insular.
      And as for the "culture looks pleasing", what do you mean? Their entire culture seems to consist of getting as drunk as possible at every opportunity.

      @@runningcountries I lived in yorkshire for 59 years where I ate Icelandic haddock straight off the boat.. Battered and deep fried in beef dripping... I am not a fan of cod. When I worked in Leeds I ate Icelandic haddock every day for 18 months. Now I live inthe US (Wisconsin), and the only fish I have found that is in the same class was in Portsmouth New Hampshire at a 'British pub' which has since closed... I will fly to Yorkshire this spring just for the fish and chips....though I will tell my UK family that I am there to see them. The batter should be only flour and water and a pinch pf salt..NOT breaded. Here on the great lakes, they eat PERCH which is a 'coarse' fish in England and nobody would eat that. It's ok as field fertilizer!

      @@runningcountries I have never (never will) eaten perch (A boney coarse fish), but all these Wisconsinites rave about it, especially the ones from the South of the US who eat anything ... I actually spend $4,000 just to fly to Yorkshire twice a year for fresh Icelandic haddock cooked Yorkshire style... Flour and water batter, deep fried in beef dripping. In Canada I was told (in an ersatz 'British' fish shop), that dripping is ILLEGAL in Canada and they cook it in used Chinese oil ! Yorkshire gets it's Icelandic fish in ice but not frozen... ps London fish and chips are mostly cod and are rubbish... Cod flesh is full of worms and fish shops put them in fresh water overnight until the worms come out. I can't get to Yorkshire right now coz her bloody cat is terminally ill.... Drat !
