others worth mentioning: Belgium, Finland, North Korea (clean but ugly), Netherlands, and UAE. South Africa is probably one of the cleanest African countries with Tunisia and Algeria close behind.

The dirtiest countries: Angola, Niger, Somalia, Mali, India, Mexico, and China. China is improving though. Its disgusting seeing mom's letting their little children drop there feces all over the streets. You lose your appetite before you step into a restaurant. (Which they probably don't wash there hands)

Man, Does your mom know that Chinese people have the habit washing hands before and after three meals? You again apply one ocassional case to generalize about the whole China, and put China into the last one of the list. It is the Korean habit to do this always?

Most of the places I visited in China weren't that bad. In the bigger cities there's a problem with air pollution but in general the streets are clean enough. Of course there are certain cities worse than others and even in the cleanest Chinese cities there are dirty areas but on the whole I didn't think China was any worse litterwise than any other developing country I've visited. I thought Malaysia, for example, was worse with regards to street cleanliness.

Anyway, this thread's not about the dirtiest country in the world it's about the cleanest. Personally I'd put Japan and Singapre at the top of that list with Korea close behind.

I would say Japan.(althought it could get quite dirty on weekends in Roppongi and Shibuya at around 4:00am or 5:00am)

Lots of ppl mentioned Japan's popuation and density. The reason why I am impressed by Japan is that you can't find garbage bins anywhere in Tokyo. Seriously, they do not exsist. Yet, the streets are so clean. I always wonder what they do with the garbage. Apparently, they(the ladies) just put garbage in their expensive Louis Vuitton hand bags.

Actually the answer is very simple. When I buy a snack at a convenience store, I try to dump the garbage in the bins (every store has several) of the next conbini I come across with, there're thousands of them. In the event I don't find any, I just keep the garbage in the bag you get with your purchase. Easy huh.

For sure not the cleanest country. But at least in case of Hamburg many foreign visitors told me they were impressed by the clean streets in Hamburg (although they are not THAT clean).
