Lets begin with my hometown Lebanon the country of Shawarma and bad roads.
The country Lebanon even though many cultures have passed through it yet it only was able to obtain its own independence on 1943. A few cultures that have passed through the lands of the country Lebanon are:
Of the many things Lebanon is famous in Lebanon is most famous for his cuisine especially its appetizers course.
Mezze:
The Mezze is a Lebanese specialty that is a selection of small dishes served to accompany alcoholic drinks. Examples of the drinks and plates are Arak with the side dishes of Arayes Kafta and Batata bil Kizbara and Fattet Hommos and many more.
Tabbouleh:
Tabbouleh is a Levantine vegetarian dish traditionally made of tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, and onion, and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Some variations add garlic or lettuce, or use couscous instead of bulgur. In Lebanon every household has it's own variation of tabbouleh. However, the main ingredients stay constant and no family reunion passes without a tabbouleh without being devoured completely.
Putting the Lebanese cuisine aside one of the things that make Lebanon a different country from any other country in the world is that its presence in the center of the new world has made it the rope that connects Africa with Asia and both Asia and Africa with Europe. Thus, throughout the generations at least 5 cultures have passed through the soils of Lebanon bringing with them all of their tradition arts clothing and ideologies. whether the culture survived or not doesn't matter since every single one of them has put its mark or lets say its fingerprint in the country known today as Lebanon and that is obvious in Lebanon. Lebanon has a lot of ancient building and castles and sites present for tourists and Lebanese people to come and see.Some of these sites are:
The Castle of Baalbek:
Baalbeck, Lebanon's greatest Roman treasure, can be counted among the wonders of the ancient world. The largest and most noble Roman temples ever built, they are also among the best preserved. The Romans had a very keen eye on the artistic aspect of architecture and building since if visited the Baalbek castle would have every single rock stone and floor tile created in some kind of way the resembles the Romans' way of creating art. Archaeologists are till this day baffled on how these monsters of monuments where created.
Jeita grotto:
Jeita grotto... the jewel of Lebanon jeita grotto is is a system of two separate, but interconnected, karstic limestone caves spanning an overall length of nearly 9 kilometers. Moreover the cave was discovered by excavators in the mid 19 century. The two caves offer stunning images of waterfalls and limestone and amazing flora. Moreover, Jeita grotto is ranked in the top 14 of the 7 wonders of the world.
Arts/Artists:
The Famous Fairuz
The not so famous Massari
Russia:
Russia also officially the Russian Federation is a country in Eurasia. At 17,075,200 square kilometers (6,592,800 sq mi), Russia is the largest country in the world by surface area, covering more than one-eighth of the Earth's inhabited land area, and the ninth most populous, with over 144 million people at the end of March 2016.
Culture:
There are over 160 different ethnic groups and indigenous peoples in Russia.The country's vast cultural diversity spans ethnic Russians with their Slavic Orthodox traditions, Tatars and Bashkirs with their Turkic Muslim culture, Buddhist nomadic Buryats and Kalmyks, Shamanistic peoples of the Extreme North and Siberia, highlanders of the Northern Caucasus, and Finno-Ugric peoples of the Russian North West and Volga Region.
Cuisine:
Chicken Kiev is a dish of chicken fillet pounded and rolled around cold butter, then coated with eggs and breadcrumbs, and either fried or baked. It also contains a filling that varies through every chef sometimes it is vegetables and other times it is mashed potatoes yet at the same time this dish is 100% full of taste.
Just don't mess with Russian vodka.

Russian stereotypes:
- Russian ladies are submissive and just cook a lot: Most Russian women would knock their husbands out cold if any one of them tried to lay a hand on them.
- Russia is basically an ice cube: it is cold in Russia yet at the same time Russians do have warm beautiful summers.
