My favorite (and Least Favorite) Countries!

I have been in a butt ton of countries.. I know there is one guy who set out to go to every country on earth.. wasn't me...but I have been to more than a quarter of them, and if you do the math, it's a big pool to choose from.
When people ask me about where I have been, they almost always ask me my favorite... here are a few:

Favorite Countries
Brazil (might be loosing it's soul, but it has so damn much it will take a while)
Laos     easy as they come
Burma (new favorite, although I didn't see too much of it.. but a very honest place)
South Korea
The UK   you do get your moneys worth!
Indonesia    if you can ignore the Australians, it doesn't get much more exotic
Nicaragua... thieving pricks, but it's the raw central america
Switzerland   get past the rules, and it's a placid paradise
China     no matter how awful, I am secretly saying wow

Countries I have never been to but figure I would like:
Oman
Morocco
Gabon
French Guyana
Papua
Norway

The Best former colonies to visit belonged to Portugal, which was no angel, but was the least destructive of native culture...

Least Favorite Countries
Costa Rica
Thailand
Malaysia
El Salvador


I've also been to every state.. here are the best and worst.. this is a combination of culture, character, ease of living and annoyances:

Worst
