              Oh we're doing lists? Okay.

              Finland, Russia, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, The United Kingdom (+ Gibraltar twice), France, Spain (mainland Spain thrice; Mallorca once), Italy, Vatican City, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, The Czech Republic, Greece (Crete, really), Tunisia…

              And I think that's all (21) for now. Other continents and missing European countries to come as soon as I get more money for travelling.

                  Parents who didn't really do much travelling or never had the money for it. Gosh, we even saved up on food and only ate macaroni and minced meat for months just to get on a vacation abroad. Totally worth every cent.

                  I've only ever been to a single two-week trip to London/Paris/Rome on my own and even that took like three years' worth of savings.

                    I've never had the chance to visit another country if it makes you feel any better.

                            I've always had this notion that there isn't much to be had from just visiting places for a day or two

                            How do you guys who've been zipping all over for short periods of time feel about it?

                              Yeah I was just thinking about that…

                              But there isn't enough time in a human lifespan to live for extended periods of time in a whole lot of places, so you might as well just "collect them all" and box 'em after you're done.

                                Unless you have like…2-3 objectives (like seeing 2-3 spots, eating a particular food, looking for a particular item/landmark) in that ONE particular location, I don't see anything wrong with visiting a place for one or two days. I've done it plenty of times when traveling in Japan. Heck, I stopped at Morioka to eat at ONE restaurant before heading up to Hokkaido. Likewise, I stayed at Tottori for only a day just to see the sand dune. So unless you have a VERY specific objective for a pretty small location without much to do or eat, I would recommend NOT spending a day or two at a particular location.

                                        Next ones will most likely be India, Thailand, and POSSIBLY…China and Russia.

                                          Well by places i was thinking entire nations, or atleast major cities

                                          But i suppose i never considered traveling abroad being like i want to go to X and eat at Y, i kind of want to get under the skin of the place, if that makes any sense lol. Idealy i'd like to know someone there who can take you around the place and expose you to how the locals are

                                          Like if i went to the US i'd be hey AP peeps want to hang around….for a few weeks..6 months tops:ninja:

                                            You shouldn't come to my town though, it's a black hole. You should go to the Bay, then we could hang out and I could live at Foolio's house. If he has enough money to shill out 800 bucks on a video game or whatever, he probably has enough to feed me.

                                              Well by places i was thinking entire nations, or atleast major cities

                                              In that case never. That's a dreadful idea unless you're going to some boring US state like Kansas or something. Heck, 2 weeks is the bare minimum for staying at a country you haven't been exposed to before.

                                                I could cook so economically that he couldn't possibly object to having two unwanted houseguests

                                                I of course assume that Foolio has a swinging bachelor pad in which we can pay for our stay by wing personing him

                                                But why stop there. AP get together at F manor, alternatively weekend at Foolio's

                                                    That would be Iceland, Finland, or some tiny spots in Russia. Been interested in seeing the damn thing in person too, but they are a bit challenging to get to from what I heard due to weather conditions and occurring in rural areas. I THINK Iceland is suppose to have them most frequently, but I'm probably wrong.

                                                    PS: CCC you went to Iwate? Did you ever try Wanko Soba?

                                                      One of my lifetime goals, it's a bit tricky to plan for though.

                                                          So I guess I was in:
                                                          Croatia (Rab)
                                                          Czech Republic (Prague, Brno)
                                                          Egypt (Hurghada)
                                                          France (Paris)
                                                          Germany (Limburg, Oberaudorf)
                                                          Hungary (Lake Balaton)
                                                          Italy (seaside towns, Venice, South Tyrol)
                                                          Ireland (Dublin, Galway)
                                                          Slovakia (Bratislava)
                                                          Spain (Barcelona)

                                                          The only places I really plan to travel to right now are the US and Japan (especially Tokyo), though I wouldn't mind visting many other countries.

In comparison with what it was just ten years ago, Minsk isn't much different from an average capital, quality roads have been built in the countryside and you can actually find internet access when you need it. The problem is the credits that have been sustaining their economy for too long and how accustomed to them and dependent on them it has become. Solution? Well, that's the dangerous tricky part.

                                                                        Then I got to the Florida/Georgia border and suddenly Bonnie Blue Flag started playing and everyone had the Confederate battle flag on their front lawns above the Union flag.

We will let her know that it isn't so sweet to secede as she thought it would be." Another soldier declared: "Here is where treason began and, by God, here is where it shall end!" A South Carolina woman whose house was plundered recalled that the soldiers "would sometimes stop to tell me they were sorry for the women and children, but South Carolina must be destroyed."

I went to Ottawa once and it was boring lol. I want to go to Montreal though.

                                                                                      I want to go to any European country basically, specifically Spain. Sweden or Norway would be sick to go to as well.

                                                                                      Oh, and back here in North America, I want to go to New York! Or New Orleans for some street jazz

When I get a job, I'll save up and hopefully get to visit some more places I want to see like Norway, Canada, the US, and East Asia. Or just anywhere really. I still regret that I couldn't go on the Mongol Rally to Mongolia when I got an invitation, because I was 17 and still in school…

                                                                                        Yeah I was just thinking about that…

                                                                                        But there isn't enough time in a human lifespan to live for extended periods of time in a whole lot of places, so you might as well just "collect them all" and box 'em after you're done.

                                                                                        Countries = Pokemon. Even right down to them evolving into other countries sometimes.

                                                                                        I of course assume that Foolio has a swinging bachelor pad in which we can pay for our stay by wing personing him

                                                                                        But why stop there. AP get together at F manor, alternatively weekend at Foolio's

                                                                                        Sounds good to me!

                                                                                            Then I got to the Florida/Georgia border and suddenly Bonnie Blue Flag started playing and everyone had the Confederate battle flag on their front lawns above the Union flag.

                                                                                                      Italy
                                                                                                      England
                                                                                                      Spain
                                                                                                      Germany
                                                                                                      France
                                                                                                      Switzerland
                                                                                                      Norway
                                                                                                      Uruguay
                                                                                                      Argentina

                                                                                                      I think that's it, although there might have been a couple other South American countries we went to at the time, I was too young to really remember very well. Not exactly the most diverse list. My grandparents could tell some amazing stories for the thread though, I suspect. Specifically, I've often heard brought up how, when my mother was young, they took her on a road trip from India all the way to Europe, going through the Middle East. From what I hear of it, it was an absolutely amazing experience; it makes it all the sadder to think of how unlikely, if not downright impossible, such a trip would be today, not to mention the indefinite future.

                                                                                                        I mostly only mention that UAE layover because it was my first time outside Europe and outside a temperate climate and so had a profound effect on me.

                                                                                                        I totally should count Germany regardless, the Munich experience had me have to venture outside and stay for retarded hours for their terrible architecture. Germans can't make airports, unless they're Swiss German that is.

                                                                                                        As for climate shock, Florida as a kid was odd (grandparents lived at Cape Coral, so way down there too).
                                                                                                        I remember one day coming back from Savannah GA by plane in March, my flight connections took me from Atlanta to Orlando, where it was frilly green and sunny and Disney resortish, and then the flight from there took me right into snowy NYC. Insane day lol.
