My parents said they would by me a place when I come of age and I cant decide whether to live in Wales or Italy. I'm going to visit both places but not until next summer. So I was wondering what Wales looks like. I tried looking it up on google but it only gives me images that are meant to have pics taken. Like they're all proffesional prints that go through editing and everything. I wanna know what it actually looks like. Anyone?

Hi Starbucks,
It is certainly a personal preference. I have been to both.
Wales is very different. Those professional prints you speak of are probably not edited. The landscape is breathtaking. I have been to that country twice. There are 2 primary problems with Wales. 1. The economy is not so great and poverty is not uncommon. 2. The weather is very wet and rainy.
I know of many more people who have chosen Italy, particular the Tuscany area. I recommend you read "Bella Tuscany" by Frances Mayes, an American writer who lives in both San Francisco and Tuscany. She also wrote "Under the Tuscan Sun"
The primary problem with Italy is that it has a declining population of the young generation. Other than that, it has much more cultural diversity and history than does Wales.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further questions.

I have never been to Italy, but my family has and they fell in love with it. We, my family, went to Wales in 2001, it is breathtakingly beautiful!! IT does rain a lot, but that just adds to the beauty. We went through a huge valley, it was so old, you could see where an ancient ice burg had gone through this valley by the shapes and position of the rocks. IT took us all day. We stayed in a village called Mold. Very small and extremely friendly. There there is a village there called... I have to look it up, I can't say it much less spell it..Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch , it's awesome! great place. and a lot of people leave Wales from there by ferry and go to Dun Loghaire Ireland, so it's a fairly busy place. On the coast, so it's really nice there. If I was going to recommend Wales, it would be in that village. There really isn't much else there. But the country it's self is gorgeous!

Wales is very different from Italy.
Wales is anything from vast, beautiful and unforgiving moorland, to grungy cities like Cardiff and Newport (actually, there's at least two Newports in Wales, I mean the one near Cardiff). There's a population of 3million people, and 9 million sheep, so the Welsh get a lot of sheep shagging jokes thrown at them. Still, if you get bored with the Welsh and are close enough to the border, you can always pop over to England :)

It's beautiful. And has beautiful beaches. Don't expect to be rich living in Wales though.
