Turkey
We crossed Turkey in 3 days and didn't like it too much. Maybe more time is required to fully appreciate this country?
We passed through as quick as possible, one reason being the hurry we were in, the other two the high Diesel prices and the few not so friendly people we met along the way. We also met friendly ones, and admittedly, we were mostly on rather busy transit routes.

...but at least there are the occasional trains

I like trains for some reason. Maybe it is because of Railroad Tycoon, who knows.
