Flags

BOOOORINGGGG

Ever since I was a little kid, I was always interested in various cultures: food, climates, people, but something which I was always particularly fond of was the flag. A flag is the first and easiest thing to associate a nation with. The United Kingdom's Union Jack, Germany's bold red, yellow and black, and of course, the United States 50 stars and 13 colonies. Surely, all nations should pride themselves on their flags, as it is not only a national, but an international symbol. Saying all this, no flag ever got me as frustrated as the Libyan flag. Obviously there are reasons behind its boring design (hopefully at least), but why have absolutely NO design? As a kid, this would frustrate and puzzle me, and even though I wanted to travel to every country in the world, I swore I would NEVER go to Libya... simply because of its flag. Obviously, as I grew up, I realized there are political and social differences in each country, but it just humors me to think how just the color green can be the insignia of an entire nation.
