    Many EU countries have some exotic locations that are under their governance. Lots of islands.

    For example, you can visit the Caribbean, where you find island from Kingdom of the Netherlands, France, UK. Danish Greenland would be a good choice at this moment. France has a couple of islands on far away locations in Indian Ocean and Pacific. Further Portugal and Spain islands in the Atlantic.

    And probably a lot more.

    (Note that all Caribbean Island rely very much on US products)

    This being BuyEuropean, maybe we need a list of cool European destinations we could “buy”?

    My own country doesn’t have much in terms of sight-seeing, but we do have the old town of Tallinn which is fairly big for an old town IMO. Also we have really cool hiking routes with frequent camping options and mostly very good bicycle accessibility. Sections where you can’t ride a bike usually have alternative routes. I particularly recommend the Peraküla-Aegviidu-Ähijärve route which ends in Southern Estonia, where the most beautiful landscapes of our country are located. Don’t have to do the entire route if you don’t want the full 800 kilometers, you could start at any point, with Aegviidu being a good one because it has a train station.

    We have a pretty good zoo in Tallinn too, but no pandas or penguins, so personally I really want to go to Pairi Daiza (sp?) in Belgium sometime soon.

      Let’s start bidding for Alaska if Trump carries on with his shit about Greenland.

      I think europeans did enough “buying” of foreign lands the past few centuries. Let another continent have a turn.

    Well, even Canadians themselves can make a huge difference.

    I am sure Trump can replace all Canadians, Mexicans and Europeans with Russians. USians will surely be delighted about that 😂
