Living in England, I've seen quite a bit of it. Some of the cathedrals we have are amazing works of architecture, and if you only come here for one reason make it to see some of them.
I've lived quite a bit in Northern Ireland as well, pretty much every school holiday until I was 17 in fact. Mostly in Newtowards, which is a nice little town if mostly quiet. Millisle is a tiny seaside village, which was in decline last I visited, but there is a pub there which makes the best chips, beans, eggs, and sausages I have ever eaten. Also a nice ice cream place, and there were a couple of amusement rides and an arcade before those closed down. I think there are still a couple of arcades, though. And there's the beach itself, which isn't too unpleasant. Belfast is a wonderful city, I love the place, despite all the troubles over the last decades. There's just something vibrant about it, to me, it feels the way a city should feel. I've visited many places in the North and quite a few in the South, though those were when I was younger so I don't remember very well. There was a beautiful waterfall near Sligo, though.
I've been to Scotland three or four times, though it was always when I was very young and thus I remember very little. There was a place with an amazing view, but it was all the more amazing because of the mist, which obscured pretty much the perfect amount to strike a balance between view and mystery.
I've visited Wales on several occasions, and Newtown has an absolutely brilliant little gaming store. Mostly videogames, but they have a few CCG things and collectable figurines and the like, too. The only place in the UK I've seen the Gameboy Final Fantasy games. Anyway, I was always there with my grandma visiting my uncle, but he was hardly ever there because he's so busy, which meant I mostly played videogames. Nice place, though, friendly and just about big enough to have stuff.
The USA is possibly my favourite country on Earth. At least it is of those I've been to so far. It's just... lovely there. I love it. I've always suburby places near St. Louis, so I don't have a view of much of the place, but the places I have been I mostly adore. I just like the way of life. Being able to just up and buy something from DQ and hang out at the park at 11pm, or the way driving somewhere 10 miles away ain't no thang, all of it. Well, no, there's stuff I dislike as well, but nothing deal-breaking.
I want to visit more of the US (The Southwest, especially.), China, and possibly St. Petersburg and/or Moscow.
