How Many Countries Have You Visited?


Jeebus! mine is so poor i'm not going to post it! I just do different greek islands+turkey now and again (but I only started going abroad a couple of years ago). You've been everywhere :)
 
I'm 27 and I've left England twice, but only as far as Scotland :) The only place abroad I fancy visiting is New Zealand, but flights are far too expensive :(
 
divadsci: what are those two little islands off the coast of Africa? :huh:

And what is that country off the coast of India?

It seems that some people here have been to some pretty interesting places. Why don't you pick an interesting country and say what it was like there (in brief)?

I'll start: Do not visit Iceland in August unless you want to be walking under rain and wind about 60% of the time! :blink: The sun only came out maybe about 20% of the time that I was there (I was there for 2 weeks). From what I've heard, July is a much nicer time, although the temperatures will still be in the 10-15 degree Celsius range.
Aside from the weather, there is some very interesting landscape there (I went hiking there, and sometimes I had the feeling that a large Ogre ought to walk from behind the next hill; the idea fitted the landscape :p ), and FAR TOO MUCH modern architecture. The culture there kind of sucks, IMO; well what can you really expect from 250 000 population living close to the US? Don't visit Iceland for the culture (although Culture Night on august 16th was pretty good; the ONE time).
Oh, and everything there cost three times as much as it did in Canada. Ugg. :(
 
By the way, my map (at beginning of thread) may seem imposing, but it's actually only 12 countries.

It's just that Russia, Canada and the US are so damn big. :p
I've only visited the European part of Russia...

which two little islands and why ask me? ;)

oh and the country off the coast of india is Sri Lanka. i went on a tour round the island last year.i would have enjoyed it much more if my dads girlfriend wasn't so fesking annoying. also every time i walk out onto the beach people came and tried to sell me things. but it is a nice place to visit (so long as the person you're with isnt just plain ignorant).

Think i'm meant to be going ot Kenya at some point this year as well.
