This presentation contains the most interesting facts from all continents. Each country in the world has its own characteristics and unique features that deserve the attention of not only tourists.
Chinese civilization is one of the oldest on the planet. Therefore, today in this country antiquity is harmoniously intertwined with the most modern, technological achievements of mankind.
the great Wall of China
To protect their borders, the Chinese built the Great Wall of China. Previously, the wall stretched for 8800 km. Today, a section of 2400 km has been preserved.
The main merchants of the world
China is the world's manufacturing site and a major trading center. The busiest seaport is located in China, in the city of Shanghai. It receives 25,000,000 containers per year and its turnover is constantly increasing.
Japan
Japan is an island nation. In total, the country occupies a little less than 7,000 islands. Only 4 of them are so large that they immediately make up 97% of the entire territory of the country.
Country of centenarians
Japan is known for a large number of centenarians. The country is home to more than 50,000 people whose age has exceeded 100 years.
Two Koreas
Recently, by the standards of history, divided by civil war into North and South, Korea is gradually finding opportunities for unification. But so far these are two different states with a lot of similarities and differences.
North Korea
North Korea is a closed country with strong control over not only residents, but all visitors. One of the clearest examples of restrictions on the freedom of North Koreans is on the closed Internet.
An interesting fact about the country of the DPRK! North Korea is isolated from the world: there is no internet and you can not take pictures of the street The people can only get to a few state sites with specific literature about the party, labor and the history of socialism.
South Korea
The state is an economic miracle with developed industry and trade. After secession in 1945, North Korea's southern neighbors were able to achieve a really big leap in development (the 12th economy in the world). And the North, on the contrary, lags far behind the modern world (213 world economies out of 230).
Until now, technological Koreans from the south, out of superstition, bypass the number 4, which they consider to be a sign of death. It comes to the point that even in the elevators the button with the 4th floor is skipped. This floor is not found in all buildings - often the third is immediately followed by the fifth.
India
Another special Asian culture on the world map is Indian. In India, there were also many interesting features and unique facts.
In the future, the most populous country
India is ahead of China with its almost 1.4 billion population in terms of growth, and the current population is 1.3 billion. According to experts' forecasts, the leader will change in the mid-2020s.
Large population, big problems
Where there is too much overpopulation, many problems arise. Starting from the spread of diseases, ending with a huge amount of human waste. 
In India, there is nowhere to put excess garbage. Even the Indus and Ganges, sacred to the Hindus, are a sad sight.
India is still a land of fairy tales
Despite all the problems, India is a colorful country. Even today you can find the spirit of fairy tales, luxurious royal life and legendary deeds in the name of love in it. Perhaps the most important symbol of a strong feeling can be called the Taj Mahal - the mausoleum that the ruler of India, Shah Jahan, erected in honor of his wife who died during childbirth.
Europe
There are also many interesting places on the European continent, because on the territory of the Old World, as Europe is often called, many countries of the world with a rich history and their own traditions are concentrated.
Germany
The country from Central Europe is famous all over the world for the quality of its roads. An interesting fact is that not only perfectly smooth asphalt lies on the famous autobahns. The Germans think through everything to the smallest detail. 
For example, at certain intervals there are bulk bridges, which are specially designed for the safe crossing of the road by animals.
Sunday is a day off
Germany is a very punctual country where the law prevails. The Germans are very attentive to the alternation of work and rest, so most employers try to make Sunday a day off for all employees.
So, on Sunday it is very difficult to find working shops throughout Germany. An exception is retail outlets at railway stations and airports.
France
France can be considered the most favorite country among tourists. In 2018, almost 100 million travelers visited the state. For comparison, the United States, which is in second place, was visited by about 70 million people. Russia is also in the top ten, but the figures are about 30 million people.
Coffee or wine
In France, you can drink good wine and pay less than coffee. 
The French value red wines more than whites.
Guests or Residents?
Today in France, the issue of emigration is quite acute. Many refugees from other countries, especially African ones, have concentrated in the country. For example, more people speak French in Africa than in all of France.
This is due to the fact that for a long time the French controlled a significant part of the Black Continent. Today, with the development of transport, too many people want to leave their troubled homeland, moving to a prosperous Europe.
United Kingdom
The British Empire has long been the largest in the world, uniting dozens of colonies around the world under one flag. At its peak, Britain occupied 20% of the land, and its population was 1/4 of the entire world.
Homeland of sports
It was the UK that became the progenitor of popular sports, without which it is impossible to imagine any sports channel today. Among them: boxing, golf, rugby, polo and football.
First metro
Interesting facts about the countries of the world are related to human achievements. The capital of England, London, was the first in the world to have its own subway. 
Today, the subway line in the city is so branched and confusing that travel cards are sold by zones: from the center to the outskirts.
Italy
A country with a mild climate and coastlines of unforgettable beauty. 40 million tourists flock here every year - the 4th indicator in the world.
troubled land
On the Apennine Peninsula, where Italy is located, it is not always calm. Under the ground, there are splits and movements of tectonic plates. Because of this, earthquakes occur in the country. The situation is aggravated by the largest active volcano in all of Europe - Etna. 
Another dormant volcano - Vesuvius - went down in history as one of the largest eruptions that destroyed an entire city. Many people know the famous painting "The Last Day of Pompeii".
Story
Italy has rich traditions and centuries-old cultural heritage. Today there are more than 3,000 museums and 40 architectural buildings that are part of the human heritage fund.
Italian food
Far beyond Italy itself, its food is famous: pasta, wine, sauces, olive oil and pizza.
Pizza-like food has been cooked for a long time, and not only in Italy. But pizza became the most similar dish to the modern idea around 1500 in Italy, when they began to add tomatoes to it.
Spain
In this country, it will be possible to find almost all natural areas: mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, seas, plains. But many go to Spain for a beach holiday. According to local laws, you can sunbathe on all beaches naked. But almost no one does that.
The capital of the state - Madrid - is famous for the Prado Museum, which exhibits the original paintings of the greatest artists. In terms of size, the building is the largest in the world, on a par with the French Louvre and the Russian Hermitage. 
Interesting facts about the countries of the world originate in antiquity. Spain is known for bullfighting or bullfighting. All Spaniards are waiting for the beginning of the event, carefully honoring centuries-old traditions.
It is believed that bulls were sacred animals for the Iberians, the indigenous peoples who inhabited the Spanish territories in antiquity. Therefore, the process of killing a bull (which ends the bullfight) was turned into a holiday, to which the whole city came.
Greece
Greek civilization is considered one of the oldest on the planet. Therefore, the country is famous for a large number of historical sites and attractions, not all of which have survived to this day. The most famous cultural heritage can be called the Olympic Games, which originate in Greece. In modern times, the Games have been held since 1896.
Greece has many seas. The farthest point of the country from the nearest coast is located only 137 km.
Russia
On the territory of Russia there are many unique places. But there are things that make it an important country for the entire planet.
Lungs of the Earth
On the territory of Siberia there are forests, which, according to various assumptions, make up 20-25% of the total green cover of the planet.
Trees process carbon dioxide into pure oxygen (they do this only during the day, in the light of the sun). Therefore, Russia is known as the largest producer of oxygen on the planet.
Start of problems
Global warming is a big problem. And if most countries are forced to fear flooding, then Russia will not be so seriously affected by big water.
The danger lies elsewhere. The ever-increasing average annual temperature may lead to the thawing of permafrost in vast areas of Siberia and the Far North. Then defeated viruses causing terrible diseases will be released from the glaciers, as well as huge reserves of methane that is fatal to humans.
America
America at the moment of discovery became the continent of the New World, where many people tried to correct their mistakes and start living from scratch. The main state on the mainland - the United States - is also called the country of opportunity.
Not everything is really
There is a lot of money in the USA, but if there is at least 10 dollars in a person’s wallet and there are no debts, then he is richer than a quarter of Americans. The fact is that it is customary to live on credit there.
Patriotism
The United States can be called the leading country in terms of the number of state flags per capita. 
They can be seen from almost anywhere in the country.
Brazil
Another leading country in the American continent, but already in South America, is Brazil. It also has its own peculiarities and interesting cultural differences.
Language
The existence of the Brazilian language is a big delusion, because it does not exist. In fact, Brazilians speak Portuguese. And the roots of this feature are hidden in the times of the colonies. Brazil was subordinate to Portugal with its one of the largest fleets of the Old World.
high crime
Although Brazil is an economically developed country, the poverty of its population is high. It is for this reason that the country has such a big problem with crime. 
After sunset in Rio de Janeiro, you don't have to stop at a red traffic light. The authorities specifically allowed this to be done so that cars at intersections were less robbed.
Australia
The youngest continent is often referred to as heaven on earth. These lands have absorbed many amazing and unique details that are not found anywhere else on planet Earth.
One of a kind animals
Only in Australia there are some species of animals and insects that, due to their remoteness from the rest of the world, have developed for millions of years along their own branch. Therefore, nowhere else, except in Australia, you can not find a platypus, kangaroo, echidna, Tasmanian devil, wombat or Dingo dog.
Many dangers
There are many dangers on the Fifth Continent. And all of them are associated with a large number of poisonous and predatory living creatures. For example, snakes cause very great inconvenience to people (38 species of poisonous snakes live on land alone), as well as 22 species of poisonous spiders, 3 species of wasps and bees, 6 varieties of scorpions. 
Of the snakes, 12 species are among the most venomous on the entire planet. Crocodiles during flood seasons easily swim into small towns and are seen on the streets and lawns of houses.
Therefore, Australia has a very developed medical system. Doctors are ready to respond throughout the country within a few hours. And children from childhood are taught to walk only on sidewalks, even in city parks.
African countries
Interesting facts about the countries of the world make them record holders on the planet. The African continent has its own riches, which have no analogues.
Rich animal world
It is on the territory of Africa that animals that are unique in nature still live in the wild: hippos, giraffes, zebras, okapis, rhinos. But there is less and less room for them. For example, hippos used to live on the entire continent, but now they live only in central Africa.
Desert and water
As many as 4/5 of the entire continent is occupied by deserts.
At the same time, the second longest river on the planet, the Nile (6850 km), flows in Africa. There is also a unique waterfall - Victoria, the noise from which is heard 40 km away.
fossil continent
Africa or the Black Continent is a land rich in natural resources. On the territory of all countries, the mining industry is more or less developed. And to transport dug coal or ore to the ports, Africa has the longest train in the world.
It will be possible to estimate its size only at a very large distance, literally from a bird's eye view.
Our huge planet is fascinating and mysterious. Not every continent, but every country of the world has its own interesting facts and features, because the Earth is inhabited by many peoples with a distinctive culture, their own way of development.
They formed their architecture, style in food and clothing, attitude to life. Nature also gives an amazing number of unique objects from the very north to the south, from west to east.

In some countries of the world, a child is allowed almost everything, but in others, children have the very responsibilities that should be strictly fulfilled. The material will tell about the most unusual duties of young children of different cultures.
1. China: the strictest daily routine
The main thing in raising children in China, starting from 3 years old, is humility and obedience. From kindergarten, every child must strictly follow everything said by an adult (often - by any adult). The days of children are scheduled by the clock by their parents, and this schedule, as a rule, does not change for years. Household duties are assigned by parents when the child is 4-5 years old. Attendance at several sections besides school is strictly required. Chinese parents themselves choose toys for the child and his types of leisure, very rarely praise and severely punish for trying to argue.
2. Thailand: Older children raise younger ones instead of parents
In Thailand, older children look after the younger ones, and children of different ages are constantly together - whether for games or for simple work. Children can be offered activities such as peeling vegetables or sorting fruit. Moreover, older children become a kind of moderators, and younger children become interns. Therefore, Thai children become independent early. Children are given the freedom to regulate their behavior within a community of children of all ages, from 3 to 16.
Interesting fact. Thais never run at the first call or cry of a child. The parent casts a glance at the crying or calling child, assesses the situation, and if he finds it not threatening to health, continues to ignore the call / crying so that the child learns to solve his own problems.
3. England: duty to restrain emotions
In England, from the age of 2-3 years, the child is required to attend teachers of good manners and the art of restraining emotions. These may be special courses in kindergarten. When a child gets older, some democratic parents may suggest that he educate himself in the art of good manners: video tutorials on the Internet, books on etiquette. The child is obliged to learn behavior at the table, behavior in society. Love for a child by English parents is expressed often and constantly, but with restraint. This is also due to the fact that the first child, as a rule, appears in modern English at the age of 35-40 years.
4. France: independent shopping
Children in France are characterized by early maturation and independence. Children are legally allowed to be at home alone, go to school and shop on their own. At an early age (1-2 years), children are sent to kindergarten, and they themselves go to work. From a very young age, a child is constantly offered something to help his parents: add cream to coffee, bring a plate of bread, turn off the light, etc.
Many believe that when children appear, you can put an end to rest for a long time. But what about the example of thousands of mothers who quietly travel with their child around the world, even if they recently celebrated their first year of life? You just need to understand that going on vacation is real even with a baby, and such a trip will not turn into hell. Of course, it will be necessary to think through all the points correctly, book a hotel in advance, buy air tickets and find out all the details of the settlement. But the most important thing is to choose a country. Not all cities and states are equally good for traveling with children, but some are directly created for families. Find out which ones.1. Denmark
Suddenly, Denmark comes first. Why not? A European country with a very high standard of living and the same level of comfort for tourists. In addition, Denmark, and more precisely, Copenhagen is just a fabulous paradise for children. Little gingerbread houses, narrow streets and cobbled squares, monuments to mermaids and elves, waffles, vanilla pipes and pies sold on every corner, many water channels through which yachts and ships ply, as well as houseboats. Just imagine this environment through the eyes of a child. And parents are pleased that you can buy tickets to Copenhagen at a bargain price, and most hotels in the center provide all the amenities for travelers with children.A fabulous atmosphere still reigns in the homeland of Hans Christian Andersen. There is even a huge Children's Museum in the National Gallery where you can wander for hours with children of all ages. An interesting fact: in Copenhagen, in almost every yard and park there are playgrounds with the highest level of safety, unlike each other and having an original design. With a child, it is worth visiting the Andersen Museum, walking along the tourist route of Malysh and Carlson on the roofs, and visiting the old Tivoli amusement park.
2. France
Naturally, we are talking about Paris first of all, but the peculiarities of France are such that any city and even the outback here seem to be created for traveling with children. There are coasts with a favorable climate and clean beaches, and chalets with everything you need. And you will be able to see Paris not only through a romantic haze and you will be surprised to find how convenient this city is. Judge for yourself: all hotels are not only suitable, but also have all the amenities for parents and children; the center is clean and well maintained; many hiking trails and a children's menu in any. Buying tickets to Paris is a good way to instill taste in your child from an early age.In terms of leisure, you will have to paint every day, there are so many interesting things in the city of romance. For example, a museum of magic, where illusions and tricks await you, a zoo with rare animals and a petting zoo, an unusual Museum in the grass, "Aquabulvar", which is literally an extended attraction made of water. The City of Science has entire sections designed to surprise and develop inquisitive kids. And, of course, of course, Disneyland is one of the best and most beautiful in the world, the dream of any child.
3. UK
Again, as in the case of France, many cities in the UK are ideal for family holidays, not to mention, if the budget allows, you can even rent a castle to keep your little prince or princess happy. But, of course, it is better to strive to the capital, to London. Homeland of Peter Pan, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes. It is enough to imagine how delighted children will be from traveling on a double decker through the picturesque streets. It is worth buying tickets to London if only because there are some of the best children's and adult (but with children's excursions) museums in the world here.For example, visit the British Museum with your child to see mummies, or the Natural History Museum, where there are life-size dinosaur skeletons. The Harry Potter Museum is not discussed at all, the children there are simply delighted and remember such an institution for life. If a child loves mysteries and detective stories, Baker Street with the Sherlock Holmes Museum will help you. And there are also wax figures of Madame Tussauds, the Museum of Childhood, the Museum of Science, where you can really set up simple experiments and play with optical illusions. London also has the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe.
And it is very convenient to fly to Turkey with children. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, as already mentioned, the sea is clean and warm, many beaches are private, with security and lifeguards. Secondly, the lion's share of Turkish hotels are not just positioned as family hotels, where you will be provided with a crib, an armchair, and a children's menu. Here you will find animators, children's rooms with nannies, swimming pools for children, attractions for children on land and water. Thirdly, even during the season, Turkey is an affordable country in terms of cost. Fourthly, the mild climate promotes healing.
5. Netherlands
Another European country in which it is very convenient to be with children. All conditions for this are in Amsterdam. Its size is small, the city is cozy, intimate, with many water channels and small bridges, which are so pleasant to walk along. The cult of ecological travel flourishes here, which is good for you. You can move around the city on bicycles (and here all conditions have been created for such a means of transportation in the form of paths and parking lots), you can rent a boat or even a houseboat. When you decide to buy tickets to Amsterdam, you find yourself in a cute city where technology goes hand in hand with medieval charm.There are a lot of parks in the city - it is green, clean, immersed in tulips and trees. Every park almost always has entire play areas for kids. Visit the children's science museum, the huge Artis Zoo, or the Tropical Museum exhibits, which contain outlandish things from around the world. Amsterdam is also famous for its small pastry shops, from which children are simply delighted. We especially recommend "Aunt's Cake". For an older child, there are special quests for art museums, for example, Van Gogh. In an entertaining way, he will be attached to the masterpieces of world art.
6. Spain
It cannot be said that Spain is an affordable place for tourists, including the price of a flight, but believe me, it's worth it. The mild, healing climate of the country can cure many even chronic diseases, so parents often choose Spain for children with problems with the musculoskeletal system or respiratory tract. But even if everyone in the family is healthy, you can buy tickets to Barcelona or any other city and not regret it a bit.The combination of the sea coast, tropical climate and the ancient city, where all kinds of attractions are in abundance, is ideal. Adults tend to see Gaudi's ingenious buildings in Barcelona, but they will also be of interest to children, who are unlikely to have ever seen such fantastic towers and cathedrals. Purely children's entertainment is also enough here. Be sure to visit the Tibidabo amusement park, the mammoth museum, the Magic Fountain, which strikes the imagination in the evening.
8. Italy
A legitimate item on this list. If you are puzzled about where to go with your children, just buy tickets to Rome or some iconic city in Italy, and you definitely won’t lose. Antiquities are here at every turn, let your child enthusiastically walk through the catacombs under the cities or the steps of the Colosseum. Children's excursions in any language in an accessible form will introduce children from 6 years old to the history of the city and civilization in general. Some go further and attend a large-scale 3D event, where history literally comes to life in an interactive presentation.The exhibition of da Vinci machines and mechanisms will be of interest not only to your kids, but also to you. Experienced tourists say that even a full day is not enough to consider all the quirks. There is also a children's science museum in Rome. Puppet theater performances take place on Janiculum Hill, which offers stunning views of the city. By the way, street performers with puppets, as in the Middle Ages, still entertain children in the squares. And, of course, be sure to try the world-famous Italian ice cream in local restaurants - it's just a dream of any child.

6. The poorest city
The poorest country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is home to what is probably the world's most impoverished city, Kinshasa. The state's GDP is only 55 billion dollars, and the inhabitants of the capital live on less than 1 dollar a day.

All of the energy and heat supplied to the citizens of Reykjavík comes from geothermal plants and renewable hydropower, making Iceland's capital the most sustainable and energy efficient city in the world.
