    Quid, we lead parallel lives!

    3. Germany - Alle Jahre wieder...
    Me too.

    4. Austria - Went to Vienna, and mainly around the Lake of Constance.
    Me too.

    9. Sweden - Had a girlfriend from there. Went to visit frequently especially Stockholm.
    Swap Sweden and Stockholm for Denmark and Copenhagen, and it's: me too.

    12. Greece - Rhodes, and some other islands. Again, I was too young to remember much of it. I do remember that I was fascinated with all the ancient ruins...and some donkey ride.
    Me too

    18. The USA - New York for a weekend, Atlanta (meh), Miami, Orlando (Disney, yay)
    Me too: New York for a weekend, Miami, Orlando (Disney, yay).
    Plus California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia.

    19. Bulgaria - A few years back now but that was my last proper holiday. Was near Nessebar. An excellent little ancient town with relics dating back 2000 years. The town still looks like it's stuck in Byzantine times. Brilliant.
    Me too again!

    20. Zimbabwe - Had friends there until there were forced to move to New Zealand because of the political situation there. A very beautiful place.
    Me too.

    Parallel lives with a Frenchman. Now, that's scary. Next thing you're going to tell me that we have actually met or I am you or you are me or we are we or...oh, never mind...

    Maybe you are long lost brothers, separated at birth, who then have huge and identical adventures completely separate from eachother...

    or maybe not :P

    Maybe I should speak to my parents and adoption. I have a friend who keeps on telling me that I am adopted but then he is Irish...he would say that...and he smells.

    Born in the USA.

    Visit Canada every so often. Nice aquariums and skiing.

    And seeing as how some of our states have bigger economies than most of Europe, I've been to:
    Washington,
    Oregon,
    California,
    Idaho,
    Montana,
    Wyoming,
    Wisconsin,
    Minnesota,
    Colorado,
    Illinois,
    Ohio,
    and Arizona.

    Japan -born here. Moved to USA when I was very young. Returned for visits a couple of times.
    USA - raised and living here, California mostly. My heart will always be here, but my Soul yearns for Japan.
    Canada - Visited Thousand Lakes area (beautiful); gigged in Kitchener outside of Toronto (beautiful)
    Mexico - Juarez, Ensenada - horrible border towns visited on days off while gigging on the road

    Haven't gotten around much out of the states. But when you live in a place like Northern California, there really isn't a need to spend wads of cash to go somewhere else. There is so much to do, so many cool places to go, the weather's nice ... I MISS California!
