Worst thing about your country?

We luckily don't have that many spiders here. Has been a while since I saw one. A bunch of rats and lizards in my house but nothing crazy. But jesus christ losing a finger by getting bitten by a spider is like a horror movie plot.
The problem with spiders here is that in the winter they come into our houses to warm up. But they also eat the flies that came inside so I guess there not that bad.

The #1 worst thing isn't a topic for this forum, so here's my #2 worst thing about my current country and more specifically the region where I live:

Grass pollen. From May till around mid-July (just in time for my birthday) it is SO BAD. I didn't use to be allergic to pollen, but something about either the different species of grass in this country or the sheer amount of pollen has changed that. It is utter agony and suffering, with a nose that will. not. stop. running for months. Antihistamine pills help, but don't eliminate the symptoms completely.

That's some interesting diversity. My country is not diverse when it comes to grass at ALL also almost no pollen here because I live in a very industrial area.

I relate my pollen allergies have gotten worse over the years + i have bad cat allergies so it’s torture, I have awful headaches even when I take my allergy medicine, have you tried flownase? It’s the only medicine that actually helps with my allergies
 
There are so many techy people in my region, it's not bad, but I know someone who was bribed to join the robotics club and there is a lot of focus on technology in t
This question practically cries out for a political statement, so here's something completely different: I don't know what it's like elsewhere, but here in middle Europe you can sit in the garden in September with a sunburn and eat gingerbread and chocolate Santa Clauses, since they are sold right after everyone is back from their summer holidays. Totally crazy... 😝
Yeah extreme planning ahead!!

I'm not from London so I can't comment - it's never been terrible whenever I've visited, though sometimes the air quality in the busy parts is pretty nasty.

UK weather is just meh. We don't usually get extremes of cold and heat like other countries, so when it does happen, it takes over the entire country. I don't know how we'd react if we had hurricanes and tornadoes to contend with.
But right now, I feel like I'm not going to see blue sky until April now...
Right now, even some sunshine is news...

I swear to god there's like four people I know who have or want to immigrate to Canada. You guys are flooded with immigrants. There's millions from South Asia immigrating. Canada is like the default immigration destination for most people. Japan and UK is also facing this.
That's a weird answer, you ask about "bad things about one's country", dawg is talking about bagged milk, and your following reply is about people and their personal life struggle, if this answer isn't hella weird, then my answer would be "the bad thing about my country is billionaires, oh but that must be any country", also that Orwell quote is just white noise, if you would read more you would know that migration promotes benefits to a country, as for example the food variety is expanded and you have a greater diversity of options and flavors to eat, the level of production is increased and the economy grows as a result (the problem is not the availability of products but the cost of the them, determined by the people in charge of said industries), people who migrates to your country to study have a greater incentive to be better students and most of them are under a scolarship because their academic merits and as a result their contributions make the development of said country more advanced.

In the story of stardew valley the products at jojamart are more expensive than the ones produces locally, just sayin', also many of the residents talk about how they or their families went to settle there and are happy living among everyone.

It's almost as if the developers are sending a message but oh well "it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

Luckily my country isn't bilingual lmfaoo.
George Orwell could speak a diversity of languages, a person who is multilingual are capable of understanding a greater truth. By the way the United States (country you wanna go to) is very diverse in languages, has the second place in population that speaks spanish in the world and the culture is very latinoamerican in many places.

We are a country but China seems to disagree
Taiwan is part of China under international law by a United Nations rerendum from 1987. Also the last time there was a survey among taiwanese people their most voted topic of foreing policy was the reunification under one China.
