I like the first part of your answer. But perhaps not for the reasons, you might think... I like it because that seems to be the only answer people have when it comes to any meditation-related religion.

I don't practice I just observe.

That is also the beauty of Buddhism. You don't need a Buddha statue in your home in order to "practice". It's a science of the mind in its fundamental form. It's easy to take with you and you can find a lot of support very quickly.

Also, it's great to get firsthand experience by talking to monks.

In Nepal, India, Thailand, and Cambodia (countries I have been to) the practice of Buddhism prevails very strongly. Cambodia and Nepal are my favorites in terms of how much Buddhism "is in the air".

I would like to visit Myanmar soon as well as I have heard only good things about it.
