Canada is vast and different from coast to coast. In the west there are the mountains and parks of British Columbia and Alberta. Centrally, there is lots of farming. In the maritime provinces there is a lot of fishing done and great Prince Edward Island potatoes grown. In the north there are the snow capped territories. South east of that is Quebec. Montreal and Quebec City have stunning architecture and an amazing history which is preserved throughout its narrow cobblestone streets. In Ontario, where I live, there is Toronto and the nation's capital Ottawa, which is a great city to visit. It has beautiful buildings and a welcoming atmosphere.

INDONESIA
Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Republik Indonesia), is a nation of islands consisting of more than 18,000 islands located in the South East Asian Archipelago. It is the world's largest archipelagic nation. It is bordered by the nations of Papua New Guinea, East Timor, Singapore, Australia and Malaysia. Indonesia (from Greek: indus = India nesos = islands) is home to more than 200 million people, and thus is the most populous Muslim-majority nation in the world and the fourth most populous overall.
The area now comprising the archipelago of Indonesia, specifically Java, was inhabited by Homo erectus - the Java Man - approximately 500,000 years ago, while the island of Flores was home to a newly discovered species of hominid, Homo floresiensis. The region was an important trade route to China, thriving in trade of spices. Regional Hindu kingdoms expanded religious and cultural influences of Hinduism as well as Buddhism, and in the middle ages the islands came under the influence of Islam. The region was colonized by the Netherlands as the Dutch East Indies. The people across many islands rebelled in the early 20th century against Dutch control. Following a brief occupation by Imperial Japan during World War II, nationalists declared independence in 1945, and a united and independent Indonesia was recognized in 1949.
Indonesia is a unitary state, and was governed by Sukarno, leader of the national freedom struggle, and military dictator Suharto for most of its modern history. Democracy was restored following the revolution of 1998. Although the national language is Indonesian (called Bahasa Indonesia in Indonesian) and the population is overwhelmingly Muslim, there are several hundred diverse linguistic and ethnic groups across the country, as well as other religious communities. Although Indonesia's economy is progressive and regionally important, the problems of poverty, illiteracy, political instability and regional separatism remain major issues hindering national development.

My country (USA) is not like India, but I really wish it was more like India!
We are mostly into material things and not so much into spiritual things. We are supposedly one of the more religious countries, but I don't think we are spiritual at all.
Nowadays, everyone lives on credit cards and owes everyone. We act rich, but we are in debt.
