Touring countries... in Europe!!!

Truthfully, I've actually only been to Canada (I live there), The United States and China (I'm Chinese-Canadian) before. I know, I've never been to Oceania, South America or Europe. There are, of course, many countries that I want to visit. Usually, I take a liking towards things that most people don't like as much (including video game characters and countries). This is a list of some countries I want to visit and why.

Norway

Continent: Europe
Capital: Oslo
Official language(s):Norwegian

Population: 4, 885, 000

People/km2: 12.5
Rank in HDI (2011): 1


I've researched a bit and learned that Norway is the most developed country in the world, at least for 2011, and I've seen a few picture of its fjords. All I can say is WOW. They're just stunning. Here are some pictures of the fjords I took of the Internet, THEY DON'T BELONG TO ME:


You know what I mean? Those pictures were all taken in fjords located in Norway, and they are just breathtakingly beautiful. I would really enjoy seeing these in real life, breathing Norwegian air, it would be so amazing. Norway is famous for its fjords, am I right? 
Iceland

Continent: Europe
Capital: Reykjavik
Official language(s): Icelandic, but English is taught as a mandatory third or second language
Population: 317, 000

People/km2: 3

Rank in HDI (2011): 15

Yes, I know that Iceland is not a very popular vacation spot, although I don't understand why. It's simply gorgeous. It's hat springs, waterfalls, and scenery in total is just so breathtakingly beautiful that I would give up my iPod, my Wii and my 3DS just to visit there for a week! I'm serious! It's becoming more and more popular with tourists, though, which is good. Also, I know that the population of Iceland is tiny, (smaller than that of most normal cities), but who cares? It's so pretty there!

Anyways, here are some images of Iceland's waterfalls (again, all of these images are from the Internet):




Aren't they just so pretty? And awesome? That's kind of why I want to go there, plus there are icebergs and horses and puffins and hot springs to relax in. It's just so awesome, I need to go there this summer :) Oh, but I'm a bit worried to eat some of the food there... *cough cough fermented shark cough cough*

Finland


Continent: Europe
Capital: Helsinki

Official language(s): Finnish

Population: 5, 364, 000
People/km2:16

It looks and seems like a wonderful place to grow up in. It's so beautiful and I could spend a whole day just staring at the scenery, watching clouds go by and maybe take a few photos... I love Finland. It's a beautiful country... Here are some photos (not mine):

Seems like a charming country, no? It's cute and cozy, I really would like to live there or move there when I'm older ^^

That's not all, but I don't feel like writing about all 10 of the countries that I want to go to in Europe, and stuff. Here's the list of countries, though:

1. Iceland
2. Finland
3. Norway
4. Switzerland
5. France
6. Sweden
7. Italy
8. Spain
9. Denmark
10. UK

Thanks for reading, and I hope to go to some of the Scandinavian countries in 2011 Summer! That would be so awesome...
