One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like to catagorize this question in 3 parts:
Nature: The most wonderful nature landscape I've ever seen where the national parks in the wester part of the USA. Certainly besides the wonderful region where I live; the Alps ;-)
People: The most friendly and helpful people I've met were in Canada. They were courteous and especially they cared a lot about the environment.
Culture: The biggest culture-shock (and as well temperature-stock ;-) ) I got till now, was when I visited Beijing.
