WOW , perhaps the only country in the world with so many beautiful and varied landscapes - forests , snowy mountains , deserts within an area of 22,000 sq km. You guys are extremely lucky. The total land area of my metropolitan region , Delhi NCR is 34,000 sq km , and all I see is traffic , trains,buildings and pollution all around LOL. Oh ya , and 22 million people. I really need to visit Israel. Perhaps one day...
