My biggest impression was my first flight to the USA when I was 6 Years old. Followed by the next one 8 years later.
It was interesting how different my perceptions of the country and people were, despite the not too big difference in age. However, positive in both cases. I liked being there. And if I hadn't been in love with one of my classmates the second time around 😉 I would have gladly stayed in America.
As a member of the German Air Force, I was in Canada twice in the 1980s. The vastness, the forests, the originality of the country were overwhelming. What I really disliked, however, was the way the indigenous people were treated there and at the time.
In Nancy in France, I was also with the German Airforce for an Allies meeting. In Austria I was on vacation for two weeks in the summer, in northern Italy for a family celebration for a few days. The Netherlands is not far from where I live. I like to go there again and again. I was allowed to visit Dublin more often because the company I worked for was headquartered there. As you can see, there are many ways to get to know a country and/or cities
