8. Sweden - visited distant family relatives.
9. Norway - went to Hell and beyond, ending at North Cape (if you want to go further north you have to swim). I did swim briefly at more than 70 degrees north.
10. Finland - where’s the beer still resonates because Border Security did not believe that Australians - even with very young children- would not have alcohol.
11. Andora - quaint little country and a stepping stone to Spain.
瑞典——看望了远房亲戚。
挪威——一直以游荡式的方式去了很远的地方,直到北海角才结束(如果你想去更远的北方,你必须会游泳)。而我也确实在北纬70多度的地方游了泳。
芬兰——在那里啤酒可以引起共鸣,因为边境安全部门不相信澳大利亚人——即使是还不会喝酒的小孩子也一样。
安道尔——一个古雅的小国,也是西班牙的踏脚石。

This is my first answer on Quora, after having spent more than a year prowling around and contemplating answering more… politically charged questions, so forgive me for making formatting mistakes.I’m currently 17 years old and of mixed Arab ancestry (mostly Jordanian + Iraqi), but I was born and raised in the United States of America and have been living in the United Arab Emirates since 2014; therefore, I guess I’ll be starting off with those two.
这是我在 quora 上的第一个回答,我已经花了一年多的时间四处搜寻,并且考虑回答更多的政治问题,所以请原谅我犯的格式错误。我现在17岁,是混合阿拉伯血统(大部分为约旦人和伊拉克人血脉) ,但我在美国出生和长大,自2014年以来一直生活在阿拉伯联合酋长国,因此,我想我将从这两个地方开始回答。

· United States: My home, my birthplace, my childhood in the most literal sense of the word and the country that I identify most closely with - specifically, the state of Michigan. As a third-culture kid, “figuring myself out”, per se, when it came to bridging my heritage with my upbringing was a very difficult process on an emotional level but one that I seem to have reconciled with and have come to champion for the time being.
· United Arab Emirates: I have been living in Dubai for the past three years, and am currently attending an international and “American” IB school. Before starting high school in a foreign country, my mind had never even considered or taken into account the prospect of living anywhere outside of the U.S., let alone going to high school,graduating in another country. Dubai has become a really great place to be as I’ve grown, however, and will likely have a lasting impact on me as a formative experience of my life.
美国:我的家,我的出生地,我的童年所在地(从最字面的意义上来说),以及我最熟悉的国家——特别是密歇根州。从本质上来说,“弄清楚自己”从情感层面来说,把我的传统和我的成长联系起来,这是一个非常困难的过程,但是我似乎已经接受了这个过程,并且暂时成为了这个过程的拥护者。
过去三年我一直住在阿拉伯联合酋长国:的迪拜,目前就读于一所国际化的“美国” IB 学校。在去国外上高中之前,我从来没有想过或者考虑过在美国以外的地方生活,更别说在另一个国家上高中直到毕业。随着我的成长,迪拜已经成为了一个非常棒的地方,而且很可能会对我的人生产生持久的影响。

· Canada: I have traveled to Canada on three separate occasions, all of which were on road trips with my immediate or extended family, twice to Niagara Falls (don’t worry, I concede that the Canadian side is SO much more beautiful!) and once to Toronto. I’m pretty sure that I was 13 when I last went, and my grandma and aunt had come from Europe to visit us in America. At any rate, our time in Niagara Falls was wonderful, although I remember almost falling out of a roped-off section of the caves in the tours that the Canadians take people on under the falls. I also remember paying $25 CAD to buy frozen yogurt for my brother.
加拿大: 我去过三次加拿大,都是和我的直系亲属或大家庭一起进行公路旅行,两次去的是尼亚加拉大瀑布(别担心,我承认加拿大那边更美!)还有一次去了多伦多。我很确定我上次去的时候是13岁,因为我奶奶和阿姨那个时候从欧洲到美国来看我们。虽然我记得,在这次旅行中,我差点从一个被绳子绑住的山洞里掉下来,但是不管怎么样,我们在尼亚加拉大瀑布度过了一段很美好的时光,我还记得我花了25美元给我哥哥买冰冻酸奶。

· United Kingdom: I have been to London and the UK no less than six times, as my maternal grandparents and two of my uncles live in the suburbs; I’ve also been to several coastal cities and towns in southern England, including Dover and Ramsgate, and have taken a day trip to Bristol. When I was younger, I had never really enjoyed visiting the UK, aside from seeing my family, because I’d mistakenly thought that the entire nation was Central London and nothing else. (I sincerely hope that I haven’t offended any Britons already, .a stereotypically ignorant child Anyways, London is a beautiful and cosmopolitan city, and I’m come to realize as I’ve continued to visit that the city is just filled to the brim with utterly fascinating history and culture - however, I would have to say that my favorite place that I’ve seen in the UK would be the coastal city of Ramsgate, just because of its charming streets and wooden parts that face out into the azure blue English Channel.
英国: 我去伦敦和英国不少于六次,因为我的外祖父母和两个叔叔住在那边的郊区; 我还去过英格兰南部的几个沿海城镇,包括多佛和拉姆斯盖特,还去布里斯托尔待了一天。我年轻的时候,除了去看我的家人,我从来没有真正喜欢过英国,因为我错误地以为它的整个国家就是伦敦中心,没有别的地方了。我真诚地希望我没有冒犯到任何英国人,这只是一个典型的无知的孩子的观点。不管怎样,伦敦是一个美丽的国际化大都市,当我继续参观这座城市时,我意识到这座城市充满了迷人的历史和文化,然而,我不得不说我在英国最喜欢的地方,是海滨城市拉姆斯盖特,因为它拥有迷人的街道和木制部分,还正对着蔚蓝色的英国海峡。

Jordan: The homeland of my father . I also possess dual citizenship as of last year, and have a Jordanian passport that I have, as it turns out, only used once to enter and leave Jordan. Growing up, Jordan had become my nightmare the more I went to it: as a young child, I dreaded the prospect of seeing my extended and faraway relatives. See, as a kid, I had never known how to speak Arabic fluently, and had known little more than greetings and niceties, as my parents had made to decision to speak English at home when my two siblings and I were toddlers. I had always thought that it was my fault for not knowing how to read, write or communicate in the language of my heritage and religion; I also could not communicate with most of my extended family members, I began to harbor a deep fear of the trips my family would take as I grew older. However, the 10-day trip that I last took completely changed my viewpoint on the country to what one could call a more neutral opinion; my dad took my family on a road trip around the country, and we visited all of the country’s famous tourist sites: the Dead Sea, Petra, Aqaba and Wadi Rum, to name a few. My highly improved Arabic skills (I still can’t speak without tripping up and making a fool of myself, but I can now read, write, and understand the language almost like a native), combined with a side of the country that I’d never had the chance to see before, really helped me to reconcile the awful memories I’d held on to with the wonderful new experiences I’d made.
约旦:这里是我父亲的故乡。截至去年,我还拥有着多重国籍,并且拥有一张约旦护照,可事实证明,我只用过它一次进出约旦。从小到大,约旦一直是我的噩梦,当我还是个孩子的时候,我害怕见到远方的亲戚,当我还是个孩子的时候,我从来不知道如何流利地说阿拉伯语,我只知道一些基本的问候语和礼节,当我和我的两个兄弟姐妹还在蹒跚学步的时候,我的父母决定在家里说英语。我一直认为这是我的错,因为我不知道用本土的语言进行阅读,写作或交流;我也不能与我的大多数家庭成员沟通,对此我开始深深害怕。不过随着年龄的增长,家人们会带我去旅行。然而,我上一次为期10天的旅行彻底改变了我对这个国家的看法,我可以称之为更中立的观点; 我父亲带着我的家人进行了一次全国公路旅行,我们参观了全国所有著名的旅游景点: 死海,佩特拉,阿卡巴和瓦迪朗姆等等。我的阿拉伯语技能得到了很大的提高(虽然我现在说话还是会犯错,会出洋相,但我现在可以像当地人一样阅读、写作和理解这门语言) ,再加上我以前从未有机会看到的这个国家的另一面,这真的帮助我调和了我一直坚持的可怕记忆,同时还使我获得了美好的新体验。

· Spain: I traveled - again, on a road trip with my family - throughout southern Spain for about a week, flying in from the UK into Malaga and leaving from Madrid. While my first impression of the country was… less than perfect after a tumultuous first night, Spain would end up becoming one of my favorite places in the world to date. Granada, in particular, was nothing short of a magical city to me - from touring the serene Alhambra palace grounds, kept in pristine condition from the time of Islamic rule in Iberia, to eating tapas and calamari and assorted fish and fried peppers and croquettes and seafood paella on the bustling cobblestone streets and fountain-lined walkways only a few hours later, is something that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. I also had the best gelato of my life in Granada - who would have known that spicy dark chocolate could be so tasty? Other than that, I really enjoyed visiting Tarifa, a coastal town that sits on the Iberian side of the strait separating Europe and Africa and connecting the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; seeing Morocco in the distance was surreal. I also liked seeing Madrid, where I had another delicious paella (this one was veggie) and almond turrón.
西班牙:我再次和家人一起在西班牙南部旅行了大约一周的时间,从英国飞到马拉加,再从马德里离开。在经历了喧嚣的第一个夜晚后,虽然我对这个国家的第一印象并不完美,但西班牙最终还是会成为迄今为止我最喜欢的地方之一,尤其是格拉纳达,对我来说这简直是一座神奇的城市——从参观宁静的阿尔罕布拉宫庭院(从伊斯兰统治伊比利亚时期起就保持着原始状态),到几个小时后在熙熙攘攘的鹅卵石街道和喷泉旁的人行道上吃小吃、鱿鱼、什锦鱼、油炸辣椒、炸丸子和海鲜肉菜饭,我认为我永远不会忘记这些。我还在格拉纳达吃到了我一生中最爱的冰淇淋——谁能想到辛辣的黑巧克力会如此美味?除此之外,我真的很喜欢去塔里法,这是一个沿海城镇,位于分隔欧洲和非洲海峡的伊比利亚一侧,连接大西洋和地中海;在这里,远处看到摩洛哥是超现实的。我也喜欢去马德里,在那里我吃了另一份美味的西班牙海鲜饭(这个是素食)和杏仁酱。

Thailand: I went on an organized school trip in 11th grade with a large group of my friends and peers, as well as several teachers, to the north and west of Thailand for about six days, flying from Dubai to Bangkok and then onwards to Chiang Mai for a few days and also to Mae Sariang for several days, a Thai village on the Burmese border where a minority people known as the Karen live. This experience was… just thinking about it gives me chills, because Thailand proved to be beyond surreal and better than anything I could have ever expected. The sights, the people, the places, the nature, the weather, the food, the streets, the temples, the night markets, the smiles… it was just unimaginably amazing, and I can’t describe the individual things I did there . I cannot stress this enough: it is an absolute MUST that you travel to Thailand, and certainly to the cultural havens of the north, at least once in your lifetime. I swear that you will not be disappointed, and that you will leave with memories that will last for a lifetime .
泰国: 高二的时候,我和我的一大群朋友、同学以及几个老师组织了一次学校旅行,去泰国的北部和西部待了六天,从迪拜飞到曼谷,然后再飞到清迈待了几天,还去缅甸边境上的泰国村庄梅沙里昂待了几天,那里住着一个名叫克伦族的少数民族。这次经历光是想想就让我毛骨悚然,因为事实证明,泰国超越了现实,比我想象的任何地方都要好。风景,人物,地点,大自然,天气,食物,街道,寺庙,夜市,微笑等等 简直令人难以想象,我无法描述我在那里做的一些事情,我再怎么强调也不过分,你必须去泰国旅行,当然还有北方的文化避难所,至少一生去一次。我发誓你不会失望的,一旦去过你会留下一生难忘的回忆。

· Turkey: Before going on a trip to Jordan, my family and I flew from Chicago to Istanbul and spent about a week (maybe less?) in the transcontinental city that’s earned Turkey its reputation as one of the centers of the world, figuratively and literally. Going to Istanbul was an experience that I don’t think I’ll ever forget - and yes, I know I’ve already said this so many times, but trust me when I say that Istanbul is truly a magical city. I remember going on a ferry across the Bosphorus (I got unusually queasy, but hey, that’s not worth remembering, right?), visiting the Blue Mosque, Taksim Square and the Hagia Sophia, as well as going shopping at some mall on the European side with my mom and having some scrumptious kebab in an authentic Turkish restaurant that night. If I could go to Turkey again sometime soon, I really would ......
土耳其: 在去约旦旅行之前,我和我的家人从芝加哥飞到伊斯坦布尔,花了大约一个星期(也许更少?)这座横贯大陆的城市,无论是比喻还是字面上,都为土耳其赢得了世界中心之一的美誉。去伊斯坦布尔是一次难忘的经历,是的,我知道我已经说过很多次了,但相信我,伊斯坦布尔真的是一个神奇的城市。我记得我坐渡轮穿过博斯普鲁斯海峡(我感到异常反胃,但是,嘿,那不值得记住,对吧)参观蓝色清真寺,塔克西姆广场和圣索菲亚大教堂,和我妈妈一起去欧洲那边的商场购物,晚上在一家正宗的土耳其餐厅吃一些美味的烤肉串。如果我能很快再去土耳其,我真的会。。。。。。

Germany: Similarly to the UK, I have relatives living in Germany, and I have been to the country several times in the past. Both my aunt and my uncle live in towns located in Lower Saxony, and the last time we traveled to Germany we took a road trip to several amazingly unique and enjoyable places, which really helped me to shape a much more favorable opinion of Germany and the kindness of its people! I really enjoyed an especially tasty hamburger in Hamburg , took a day trek up the rolling forests, walkways, churches, streets and hills of Heidelberg, and took a terrifyingly rickety zipline up to the top of the Alpspitze, the tallest mountain in Germany and the knee-shaking yet breathtaking platform where I stood on a metal mesh platform more than a mile above the ground; finally, I spent two days in the Bavarian border town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, exploring mountains, lakes, forests, caves and waterways, all of which made me which that I had lived in the Bavarian Alps growing up. The amount of döner I have cumulatively eaten (a more fitting term is consumed) throughout my several trips to Germany would already total to more than enough stains on shirts to last a lifetime, but my love affair with the German-Turkish food will never die out.
德国: 和英国一样,我有亲戚住在德国,我曾经去过德国好几次,因为我的阿姨和叔叔都住在下萨克森州的城镇里,上次我们去德国的时候,去了几个非常独特和令人愉快的地方,这真的帮助我对德国和善良的德国人民有了更好的看法!我真的很喜欢这里的汉堡,真的特别美味。最后,我在巴伐利亚边境小镇海德堡花了两天时间,探索了山脉、湖泊、森林、洞穴和水道,所有的这些使我成长为巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯山的加尔米施-帕滕基兴。在我去德国的几次旅行中,我累计吃掉的多内尔(一个更恰当的说法)的数量,已经足够我一辈子衬衫上的污渍了,但是我对德国土耳其美食的热爱永远不会消失。

· Austria: Funny story - in the road trip around Germany that I previously mentioned, on our way to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which is literally right on the German-Austrian border, my mom, who was driving, ended up crossing into Austria without intending to do so! We ended up touring the Austrian Tyrol for about two hours, and and stopped several times along the way to drink in some breathtakingly beautiful sights and procure some pictures of the lakes, trees and mountains. I’m not one to make quick assumptions, but to me, it seemed like we had been transported onto the filming location of The Sound of Music - and it was incredible!
奥地利:发生了一个有趣的故事——在我之前提到的绕德国的公路旅行中,在我们去加尔米什-帕滕基钦的路上,实际就是在德奥的边境上,我妈妈,当时正在开车,最终无意中穿越到了奥地利!我们最终在奥地利的蒂罗尔游览了大约两个小时,还沿途停下来喝了几杯,欣赏了一些惊人的美景,并且拍摄了一些湖泊、树木和山脉的照片。我不是一个轻易做出假设的人,但对我来说,我们似乎被转移到了《音乐之声》的拍摄地点——这简直太不可思议了!

· France: Apparently, I went (with my parents, obviously) to Paris when I was a baby or a toddler or something; honestly, I can recall absolutely nothing, but I’m putting France here for the sake of self-gratification. I’m sure it’s a lovely country, anyways - besides, who wouldn’t want to visit Nice, Cannes and the French Riviera at some point?
法国:显然,当我还是个婴儿或蹒跚学步的孩子或其他什么时候,我去了巴黎(显然是和我的父母一起);老实说,我已经完全记不起来了,我把法国放在这里只是为了自我满足,但是无论如何,我确信这是一个可爱的国家——此外,谁不想去参观尼斯、戛纳和法国里维埃拉呢?

· Bahrain: I went to Bahrain for three days to attend a cousin’s wedding. It was really sandy and foggy and hot, because some sandstorm was blowing in from Saudi Arabia at the time, so I wasn’t a huge fan of the weather. The wedding was good Arab wedding fun, though!
For the time being, I’m really grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to visit such fascinating and wonderful places.
巴林:我去巴林呆了三天,参加一个表兄的婚礼。由于当时从沙特阿拉伯吹来了一些沙尘暴,那天真的是多沙多雾而且很热,我不太喜欢这种天气。不过,这场婚礼是很有趣的阿拉伯婚礼!
就目前而言,我真的很感激我有机会参观这些迷人而美妙的地方。
