Three favorite countries


                                                                                Three favorite countries

                I come from China and I study in the U.S by now where I learned a lot of foreign friends who come from other countries such as Korea, Germany and Saudi Arabia. The main causes to me that why I interested in those three countries is their culture, economy and geography.

                The first country that I will introduce is Korea. “Korea is an East Asian country that is currently divided into two separate sovereign states, North Korea and South Korea. Located on the Korean Peninsula, Korea is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the Northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the Sea of Japan, and it is separated from Taiwan to the south by the East China Sea”. (“Korea” 2012)  Korea was an agricultural country in the past, people live in Korea like eating rice and vegetables as their main food by now. Nowadays, Korean still like eating kimchi in every meals during a day. Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made of vegetables. It is Korea's national dish, and there are different kimchi made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, scallion, or cucumber.

                The Second Country that I like is Germany. “Germany is a federal parliamentary republic in west-central Europe. The country consists of 16 states, and its capital and largest city is Berlin. With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state in the European Union. Germany is one of the major political and economic powers of the European continent and a historic leader in many theoretical and technical fields”.(“Germany” 2012) Basically, the reason that I like Germany is German car for example BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi. German car is the best car in the world. To me, owning a car is my dream when I still young, especially a German car. Among three car brand, I like BMW 3 series very much cause it can provide me strong speed-up feelings when I driving it. My family owns a BMW 3 series; I drove it nearly every day.          

                The third Country that I like is Saudi Arabia. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the largest Arab state in Western Asia by land area. Saudi Arabia is famous for oil industry. “Saudi Arabia's command economy is petroleum-based; roughly 75% of budget revenues and 90% of export earnings come from the oil industry”(“Saudi Arabia” 2012). I like Saudi Arabia because of their nice welfare and stable economy. I want go to Saudi Arabia in the future. In the Saudi Arabia, there are about 25 million people who are Muslim. “About 85–90% of Saudis are Sunni, while Shias represent around 10–15% of the Muslim population” (“Saudi Arabia” 2012).

                Overall, those three countries I introduced above are my favorite countries with different ideas.
