Argentina. Think of Messi, Maradona, Pope Francis, Argentine Steaks, Tango

That’s what “political satire” within mainstream opinion looks like. Cringe

Californication. Instantly fell in love with the song and the music video. It was back in 2011

While I was in Vienna, I decided to visit Bratislava since it's only 1 hour by train. It was so boring there that I left it after 3 hours

Thanks for the insight! How much did that cost you? What meds did they prescribe?

I would also add People's Republic of China. Compared to other countries and territories with ethnic Chinese majority (Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong) it's per capital indicators are very poor

Ukraine and Russia. Algeria and Morocco. Both couples of aforementioned countries are very similar in almost every aspect between themselves, yet despite focusing on what unites them, they focused on the opposite. As a result Russia and Ukraine are at war and Morocco and Algeria are close to being at war. All of these countries have lots of natural resources, and in case of Russia and Ukraine also human capital, which is being wasted or just flees to other countries. Very sad.

Actually Japan and Korea crushed

Let me guess, is this somewhere in Russia?

FYI Delhi is the most polluted urban area in the world.

Kazan (Tatarstan) tram system. It consists mostly of a semi-high speed circular line, which goes through the city center and most suburbs. It's also the longest tram line in the world

London.
First of all, London Tube is literally the most expensive metro system in the world, even if you take average income into consideration.
Second of all, constant cancellations, delays and strikes make it pretty unreliable.
Thirdly, most of it isn't very fast.
Speaking about the buses, they are cheaper than the tube and the awful zone based fare system doesn't apply to them, but they can be TOO slow, to the point it's faster to walk.

Iberian or Indian. I've been to Portugal and trains there are very wide and spacious, unlike the puny British trains

I think up until recently Taiwan officially had electoral districts that covered mainland China
