LOL clearly you've never been to England if you think it's 'old fashioned & full of countrysides' :laugh:
That's like stereotyping all of America as full of dirt, plains and open roads, because I've seen a geographical photo of Texas. ¬_¬
London is another large polluted city, full of tourist attractions, shops, offices and the like. From expereince, it's very similar to Paris, Brussels & Berlin, because all of the countries are highly developed. Just as how France has a load of countryside as well, as does Germany, as does Switzerland etc. The temperatures are also pretty similar in Europe (colder at the top, warmer at the bottom) because it's a connected continent. Culture is easily shared between neighbours.
You know, there are other countries in Asia worth visiting besides China & Japan (which are pretty different)... like Singapore, Malaysia, India, Taiwan, Tibet etc. Seperation by the sea, more extreme temperature differences and the fact that most of the countries are in different stages of development make a lot more variation.
