What is a cool aspect of your country that foreigners don't know about from the media and such?

I often hear people criticizing the places where they live/originate from. Let’s try showing some good parts of our homelands, shall we?

If a foreigner asked you about your country/people/ethnicity, or the place/area you live in, what interesting, cool part would you tell them about, that foreigners usually never hear about from the media (like movies and books and such)? Why should someone visit your place/country? Why do you love it (if you do)?

How different your country/people are from how they are shown in the media? Are there any stereotypes you are specifically not impressed about, that you’d like to debunk here?

Similarly to this, if you could change the place you come from, would you do it (I don’t refer to moving somewhere, but originating from/being born in certain place/country, or being of certain ethnicity)? If yes, which place would you choose? If no, what makes it being “the thing to be” for you (if it does)?
