Italy for sure.

[allalor]

I would say French and German cultures are the most refined in Europe (beside Italian one). You really don't mess with their philosophy, literature, music.

[Lusos]

interesting culture

Iberia as a whole.

Why isn't anyone saying non European countries

[AriGold]

For the sake of diversifying responses, I'm going to say that the South American/Central American countries fascinate me. I've been told by an Argentinean girl I know that my unique cultural attitude (Serbian background, Australian born-and-raised, assimilated but still with a very heavy European tinge) would fit in perfectly in Argentina, and that I apparently have a very "Argentinean" attitude to life. Also, seeing Iberian colonial culture mix with native culture would be quite fascinating, especially in Mexico.

I've always had a deep fondness for Mexican culture, especially that concerning its relation to the US, and the history of the Rio Grande/Sonoran area in the 19th-20th Centuries. Would love to one day visit places like the Alamo, El Paso, Sonora etc (and hopefully not be abducted by a drug cartel lol)

[♥ Lily ♥]

Japan.

The EU states (Eurabia) are mostly full of depressing muslim culture. :(

[Methmatician]

Hard to choose. Could be Arabic, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese just to name a few really interesting ones (to me at least).

[Memes123]

I really admire bhutan culture because they didn't let globalism influence their country that much. They are very traditional people

I don't understand why so many whites like Japanese culture

[Kabul]

Balkans & Russia as a whole.

[ius semper]

spanish history is the best in the world, but I can't say the same when it comes to culture... I hate bullfights. To me, Italy has defiently the most awesoming culture in the whole globe.

[Alessio]

Gemany and music ...hmm:mmmm:

[Peter Nirsch]

Italy IMHO.

[Alessio]

I don't understand why so many whites like Japanese culture

Because they're homogeneous as a population, atheist as f*ck and disciplined like samurai warriors perhaps :p

[Ouistreham]

In no particular order: Britain, France, Germany, hands down.

Italy and Russia can't be overlooked but they are second league.

[TheGoldenSon]

Greater Iran, the birthplace of the western civilizationS.

[Norman]

Gemany and music ...hmm:mmmm:
Sure, Bach, Bethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Händel, no one has ever heard of....
What have the romans ever done for us :D

[Stimpy]

I'm very proud of my Scandinavian heritage and culture, and I think it's definitely quite beautiful.

Dont worry, those mo fo don't go around randomly abducing people, just as long as you don't have any kind of business or treat with them you'll be fine.:D

[Taiga Lake]

To my knowledge most Japanese aren't atheist but Shintoistic (and those who are atheist or something else like Christian shame on them).

[Alessio]

What have the romans ever done for us :D

As for classical music the before mentioned were very influential and great artists to say the least - the other 95% of musical genres and artists in Germany suck big time, especially folk music..

I wouldn't say Mozart is German, but still pretty amazing.

I was obviously referring to classical music. Bach and Beethoven are the greatest composers of all time, in my humble opinion.

[Armand_Duval]

Take a look at this vid. it summarizes several faces of mexican culture, at min 7.00 a good sample of the Mexican phenotrypìcal variation, Amerinds, Mestizos, castizos, criollos and even one SSA admixed little girl.

The majority of people who practice Shinto self-identify as "atheist".

Without trying to mock Bhutan they also have the interesting tradition of night hunting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_hunting).

You can't hate Bhutan with its Happiness Index (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_National_Happiness).

I wouldn't say Mozart is German, but still pretty amazing.
I think I know where you are going to, but I would say Austrians are Germans with an own ethnicity.
Besides, at that time there was no Austria.

Anglo-American
Khmer/Thai/Viet

Podium is in order (toó obvious). The rest of the top 10 not really

I'm very proud of my Scandinavian heritage and culture, and I think it's definitely quite beautiful.
The Scandinavian culture(s) used to be impressively great at the time all decently educated people there were fluent in both French and German. Edvard Grieg and Jean Sibelius, Søren Kierkegaard, Ibsen and Strindberg etc. Some of the most influential painters were Carl Larsson and Edvard Munch. Swedish architects and Danish designers in the years 1890-1930 were probably the world's most talented.

After WW-2 (Hitler's faut?) they switched to English only and lost momentum. They virtually loosed contact with European civilisation. They became an insignificant sub-American provincial culture, producing just a few good films, some thrillers, and Abba.


I wouldn't say Mozart is German
Mozart defined himself as a German composer ("ein deutscher Tondichter")

[zhaoyun]

There are a lot of countries with very interesting cultures. It's hard to choose, it probably depends on the interests of the individual you are asking.

[Sockorer]

America.

[Goujian]

Personally the only reason to travel is for the most delicious cuisine. So in terms of food, Southeast Asia and Indian subcontinent are my best bets.

[Kawaiine]

Chinese and Japanese
Latin American
Italian

[Memes123]

Germany is also interesting
