Wait, does it count as a 'visit' if technically, you've never left?

Why the hell is the United Kingdom always refered to as a country? It's like saying Scandinavia, for example. You don't visit Scandinavia - you visit Norway or Sweden etc. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Island - they're all countries and quite different in culture in places. Just because Blair rules all four ... we don't call Iraq part of the United States, do we?

Well, maybe cause the name suggests it's united somehow. One kingdom, one country.
Anyway, with that map it's even worse if you tick Russia. I mean you prolly visited Moscow once, and almost half of the world becomes marked as visited.

You guys over in Europe have it easy as the countries are so small, it's easier to travel from one to the other.

No, I haven't actually been to the DPRK (North Korea), but that, and China, are on my list of next countries to visit.

UK, Holland, and Germany, I added Italy because I am going there in the summer.

UK/Wales, well cos I live there And I wass born on the wales/england border
Holland + Germany: We used to live on the Holland/Germany and so trips works both ends although we lived on the Germany side, but Holland was a place of visit, heck we had to catch the ship to England from Holland
Italy: Organised trip to Rome, will be fun and say hi to Benedict (Probaly) but my RE teacher prolly won't allow it, considering Ashley shouted that he hates bible bashers by some of the priests the preach you around Cambridge and shouted at a Big Issue guy to get a real job...

I wouldn't mind going to Haiti some day. But I'll probably get shot if I do. What with it being a third world country and all.

lol sirfire

States I've been to (lets see if I can remember all of these):

New York (duh), Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine (as a kid), Massacheusetts (sp?), Connecticut (going in a few weeks actually), Maryland (unfortunately), Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama (Greyhound busses suck), California, Washington

Then, my girlfriend and I drove cross-country from Spokane Washington/ Coeur D' Alene Idaho to New York this past September/ October. On that trip, taking I-90, we went through:
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota (stopped in Deadwood and Mt. Rushmore, if you haven't been, do it!), Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois (Chicago traffic isn't NEARLY as bad as Philly's), Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania (got lost and wound up in Pittsburgh somehow... don't ask), and then FINALLY back home to beautiful sunny New York.

By the way, if any of you should happen to drive the I-90 cross-country route, please keep some of my hints in mind... I hope this comes in handy for some of you!

(A) Stop and see the sites. It's worth it. Along the way, if you're a history buff, there's Little Bighorn (where Custer's last stand was), Yellowstone (if you go about 100 miles out of your way), Devil's Tower (the "I think this means something" mountain of mashed potatoes in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," except the real-life mountain), Deadwood (the real town where the HBO show takes place... that place is RAD), and Mount Rushmore

(B) Try to hit Chicago at night... the skyline is awesome, even to a New Yorker like myself

(C) DON'T STOP IN MINNESOTA, even for gas! It's a very, very odd place

(D) Wisconsin has more potholes than an Afghanistan mine field, so mind your shocks

(E) Visit the Denny's in Butte, Montana... they have a casino IN THE RESTAURANT! (yeah, that was one of the highlights)

(F) I'm not kidding here... when driving through Wyoming, get some sort of mask or something. There's oil plants all over the place and the whole state smells like a pit area (of the racing type)

As soon as i leave uni i just wanna see the world, i'm not gonna get a job or anything, just gonna go round, travelling and surviving for as soon as possible.

i'm not interested in white sand and blue seas, im more interested in seeing for myself what the real world is like out there, away from tv cameras and propaganda.

I didn't like Minnesota... it was a very bizarre place. I live in New York, and even upstate, life moves pretty darn fast. Minnesota was like walking into some weird teen movie or something... I can't explain the weird vibe I got there, but I know my girlfriend experienced it to and both of us were very anxious to leave, lol
