Interesting/Awesome accents

What have you got?
Was talking with someone in London today and they had the most remarkable accent. This person was Asian but it was like she had learned English from like 10 different countries.
The initial layer was some sort of Asian accent. Then I started catching hints of Aussie. Then cockney, and then Scottish. This person was just fascinating to listen to her. Like I began picking up her natural reaction to surprise was an Australian accent

I worked with a guy that was from Venice. He was raised speaking Italian but also had some French and Spanish in his education. He was taught to speak English, later in life, by Australians.
He had OT 8's following him like puppies.

I find this interesting, people from Ohio always have the worst accent. It never fails.
The best accent was this stripper from Columbia in Las Vegas. It was because I was drunk, which makes it awesome.

The Dutch speak English as if they had eaten a half jar of crunchy Peter Pan.

Coworker has that "Fargo" accent. She's from Western Wisconsin. Love to hear her because it's so annoying it's become entertaining

Gal Gadot's Israeli accent is heavenly. LINK
I really enjoy the Scouse accent. Probably my favorite British accent, although it is completely unattractive on a woman.
Jamie Carragher (first) tends to have an uglier one, while I could listen to Steven Gerard (second) read a phone book.

My North La. accent sounded Australian to my Nola native SO the first time she talked to me.

My North Baton Rouge accent sounded British to people in Minnesota 35 years ago.

as far as different American accents/dialects, I've always liked the Georgia and South Carolina accents. I think both are distinct and usually can pick up on it if talking to a native of either state

There are a variety of Southern dialects. You have your dying (and almost dead) Tidewater/Charleston non-rhotic, Scarlett O'Hara one. The hard rhotic, poor grammatical Appalachian one. A Cumberland Plateau (southern TN, northern AL and MS) one. Black Belt dialect that changes between race, usually, that runs through the MS Delta from LA to mid GA. A Deep Southern one that runs just above the coast from MS up to SC. A distinct Gulf one, too, with the addition of NO as a weird port city accent.

I love a very thick southern accent on an educated woman. It's like music to my ears after a few years out west. But if it's thick and they are not well educated, it just sounds trashy.
Worst accent on a woman is either the Appalachians or Jersey/West Bank (Sorry west bankers, it's damn near identical. I've known girls in Nola from Philly that couldn't tell them apart)
