You are right - beauty is in the eye of the beholder; but how can this beholder forget about Austria and how can he imagine that Norway would be anything other than top of the list?
I personally I have been to Norway and could not agree more it is the most beautiful country (other than maybe Canada) However this is not my personal list but rather the list of countries voted for by the readers of ‘Rough Guides’.
UK seems very high. France might be a bit, too. USA should probably be higher, maybe #1. Also no Thailand, Vietnam, or China? Weird. But, obviously, this isn't scientific. More a list of which countries people commonly associate with being beautiful, and that could just be based on stuff they've heard, a movie they've seen, or one post card they got sent.
Turkey is another odd omission. and Georgia. and Montenegro. and Austria. I think all of those are probably prettier than South Africa or Brazil.... but then that judgment is based on what I mentioned above as I've only seen those countries through photographs.
USA is #1 with no question. I think China should be on this list as I think it is top 5. Portugal is not in the top 20, and the UK barely top 100. France also I do not think is top 20, nor Japan. Argentina much higher, same with Indonesia, and Iceland up 5 or 6 spots. Italy maybe 10th.
Just my opinion though, and I know its based off of a poll. Still a fun quiz though :)
