What country is this?

Sorry I'm late doing my blog, haha. I am also going to describe a country without telling the name. Can you guess it?

Even though this is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, I know very few Japanese people who have been there. I visited this country in the 90s because I wanted to get in touch with my roots, as it is where my ancestors came from.

Although summers are nice here, the winters are bitterly cold. I visited this place at the end of October, but it started snowing my second day there! I was outside most days walking around, so I often froze my butt off.

I spent most of my time in this country not in the capital city, but in the much more beautiful "second city." Since this part of the country was not destroyed during the war, the historical sites are intact. Everywhere you walk you can see majestic churches or magical castles. It's almost like stepping back in time to what life in Europe must have looked like hundreds of years ago.

Again, however, the best part of visiting this country was trying to discover my roots. It was amazing to walk around and think to myself, "Did one of my ancestors step in this exact place hundreds of years ago?"

Another strange sensation in this country was thinking about the history. While I was staying there, I was re-reading the book "Schindler's List." It was incredible and scary to think that the atrocities mentioned in the book happened so close to where I was staying. Even some of the downtown street names were still the same.

Can you guess my country?
