    England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Greece, USA, Canada

    Not a huge list but aside from Belgium and Czech Republic I've been to each a few times. I'm in one of them now!

    One visit to Newark (or wherever) generating a tick for the entire US (including the freak states) is such BS. I think I've stayed in/visited 12-15 states and probably been physically in another 10 or so in some way or other. Tick.

    Then again, I once took a day trip to Chichen Itza (back when you could climb up the pyramids) so that's Mexico 'done'.

    I've been to Mexican Hat, Utah, so I definitely get the whole thing.

    That sounds like my sort of thing. I'll have a look for something similar later. No eye contact if we end up in the same van...

    Also 22 countries for me. I've basically had no savings for two years cause I've spent it all on travelling.

    They had loads of similar things in Berlin but walking. I just kept on going to famous places and then joining other groups to listen in. The Scots would be proud.

    Great, yes please!

    Waiting to board for Budapest at the moment. EasyJet let us all get on the tarmac, and have now just shuttled us back in the terminal because the plane isn't ready...

    No, just went across the bottom on the way to VEGAS BABY and California, although I preferred the Mexican Hat vibe to the Vegas vibe it must be said. Wikipedia puts the population at 31, but it felt like a few more than that when I was there. It had a proper motel and a restaurant of sorts.

    I went to that four corner place actually, so that's a large amount of the US total land % done with a five second tap dance.

    I can't be arsed filling the map in, but I've done New York, California, Nevada and Arizona (if flying over the Grand Canyon in a chopper counts for the latter).

    My Dads time in America gets weirder and weirder. He never likes to tell stories about it but he was a bit pissed the other night as it was his birthday. He'd previously told me he used to hide in his car boot crossing state lines due to an expired VISA. He hadn't elaborated that the reason his VISA was expired instead of being renewed is that he was caught running Tequila across the Mexican border and then skipped his court date.

    I'm going to ask how he ended up having a SWAT team pointing guns at him driving down the 5 next year.

    Spoon's map is pretty good, doing all those northern states. The only place I'd like to visit that I haven't already is Massachusetts and Texas. Maryland is still the best state, though.

    The people that owned the flat we were staying in wanted my passport as insurance actually.

    I handed over my driving licence instead.

    I 'lost' my passport a few weeks ago. Searched everywhere for it and finally admitted defeat so I had all the paperwork ready. Lost passport, replacement passport, emergency passport and lost US visa. Just as I was leaving the office to go to the post office I checked in my work's copy machine and there it was. I'd scanned it a few weeks earlier and left it in there by mistake. I spunked my pants when I saw it.

    23 countries. Poland, Singapore and South Korea to be added to the list this year. Then I suspect it'll stay stagnant for a long while.

    I went to Singapore for the first time this year and it's a really great place. The only drawbacks are the ridiculously priced fruit and vegetables and the thunderstorms which can turn up out of nowhere.

    "Concrete jungle" surely describes a place where there are buildings with few parks or trees or anything. Singapore has an astonishing amount of that stuff.

    "Disneyland with the death penalty" is probably a more accurate criticism. Was it William Gibson who wrote that piece?

    Singapore is ridiculously soulless. It's just one massive shopping mall.

    There are interesting bits, but they seemed to have become more marginalised by all the development last time I was there. Even the once amusingly corny Sentosa Island is now some sort of mega theme park with all your western coffee shop needs catered to.

    Yeah, concrete jungle is probably the wrong phrase.... though even the green spaces feel so purposeful and engineered (except perhaps the centrel green space, which I haven't actually been to) - its doesn't really feel like a natural environment.

    I do support their attitude towards chewing gum though - and I would support the death penalty as punishment for breaking said law.
