I've just realised that I can't find my passport :uhoh:
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...Quote:

I can ask my mate for his details if you want them?
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!Quote:

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.Quote:

Decent amount of states in the US considering I drove across the entire fucking country. Worked it out at the time and it was around 15. I'm gonna do NW to SE soon.

Infamous in most too. I would love to do proper road trips in the states or actually go backpacking around Europe. £££ if only.
Smug twat.Quote:

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).
Where do you get the map?

England / USA / St Lucia / Thailand / Singapore / Australia / Dubai / Latvia / Austria / Slovakia / Germany / Italy / France / Portugal / Spain / Holland / Egypt / Greece / Turkey / Cyprus / Norway / Sweden
Travel :cool:
I've only done Florida and New York.
New York, Chicago, Florida, Vegas for me in USA terms. Rubbish.

Not so bad. Id really like to drive around the South at some point though.
Friend and I want to road trip to Alaska :cool:

Eat my goal.
Edit: Fucking Yank.
Youve gone coast to coast though which I never have.
Giggles has traveled about as much as Kiko has tbh. The smug twat.
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.

He's about three times older though.Quote:

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.
That made me realise that I have no idea where mine is or if it's even in date.
I'm sure I saw it like a couple of months ago too which is annoying.
Mines in date and has the chip.Quote:

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.
First TTH member to go to every continent (not including Antarctica) gets whatever is left in the TTH kitty and a go on a webcam girl.
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.Quote:

I thought mine may be more than this... Apparently I need to travel to the Americas.

Just remembered it's my monthly holiday next week. Not sure if I can be arsed to go anywhere but at the same time I've almost completed Zelda. Decisions, decisions.
Back to a proper part of Ireland, ie not Dublin.
"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.Quote:

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.Quote:
