[Beirut]

Dont you live in Canada? Or are you still just visiting?

Assuming my mortality is still intact, I'm just visiting.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

So where then are you really from.......No......Dont tell me.......Beruit?

[Ice]

Well, after my eurotrip I was going to start a thread, but I have never got around to it. Guess I'll just include it here.

*Cracks fingers*

Well Domestically I've been to:

Virgina (DC Area too) I was born there
Pennsyvlania: Lived there for a while.
Michigan: Where I currently reside
North Carolina: Emerald Isle Beach
South Carolina:Myrtle Beach
Florida:Orlando: Disney World!
Ohio: Drove Through
Maryland: Various Places, Annapolis
New York: New York City!
New Jersery: Drove through

Alright Internationally:

Canada: Windsor and Toronto. Both great cities.
Mexico: Cancun. Breath Taking beaches and jungles
Aruba: Great little touristy Island. More of a desert though.
Curaco: A Netherlands Antilly island. Like Aruba, but more industrial.
St Thomas: American Virgin Island Absolutely beautiful island. Best tropical Beaches ever. I visited St. John also from St. Thomas (Ferry ride)
St Martin: Smallest island to be divided between two countries (Dutch and French). Like St. Thomas, but less nice.

Alright for the European Continent:

France: Paris. I went was nice. I saw all the sites and ate some French food. Some people were extremely rude, but other were very kind. I had mixed feelings. I really liked the louvre.

United Kingdom: I visited London. Another very nice city. I found the people friendlier then the French people from Paris. The pound made everything expensive though.
Belgium: Brussels and Brugge. Brussels was very nice. I loved the war museum. If you are ever there go. It is very cool. Brugge was also nice. I enjoyed the small town medieval atmosphere. I also remember getting trashed with some very attractive American girls.
Netherlands: I LOVED Amsterdam. It was one of the best cities I've ever been to. The red light district was pretty cool (No I didn't receive any services there). I did visit some coffee shops and sat around laughing eating chips for a few hours. . I also enjoyed the biking lanes they had set up in the city. Everyone seemed to know English and was very friendly.
Germany: I visited Frankfurt, Munich, and Koln. (Sorry I don't know how to make the dots (I know the word for them, I just don't want to butcher the spelling)). Koln was cool. I was only there for 2 hours waiting for a train. The church was nice. Frankfurt was cool. I saw where they printed the Euro and the only building that surived allied bombings during the war. It was very industrialized. Munich was fantastic. I saw the English Garden and the Hopfbrahouse (yeah I know spelling). It was amazing I drank 2 liters of GOOD GERMAN BEER! It was the best beer I've ever had.

Wow, that was long. If you want to know more any of the above, I'll gladly share.

Pfft Cancun? Dude thats not Mexico

Cancun Area, Strike. I drove about an hour south and trust me, that was the real Mexico. The poverty was at the minimum or worse then the Mexico you've seen.

Must be hard for you now that £1 is worth $2... Of course for us lucky Brits everything is cheap

It was absolutely terrible. I was paying around $6 for a bottle of water at one point. I wanted to cry.

Belgium, gah little to do

France, same as Belgium

England, London is great, Canterbury was full of weirdo's

Austria, nice mountains

Italy, small people, and no-one speaks English


And I have the suspicion I'm forgetting a country

Gronigen.

Good boy ... best city in the country

[scotchedpommes]

Gronigen.

My brother used to live there; can't say I saw enough of the rest of the country
to allow for comparison. You do manage decent Indian food there, though.

[Ser Clegane]

How did you like TEXAS!

I actually liked it quite a lot - we visited San Antonio which was quite some fun (The Alamo ) and drove around the countryside quite a bit (unfortunately the bluebonnets weren't blossoming quite as much as they were supposed to).
We also attended the wedding of friends which was very nice.

"Stonehenge II" was a bit of a disappointment though

[Strike For The South]

I actually liked it quite a lot

Who doesnt?

[naut]

Hmmm, a few places:

Australia, I migrated here.

China, in and around the former area of Hong Kong.

England, pretty much everywhere, used to live there.

Fiji, pretty nice, smells though.

France, Paris, Calais, and the south.

Germany, die Autobahn ist wunderbar.

Italy, very nice.

Luxembourg, lots of cobblestones.

New Zealand, both North and South Islands, beautiful place.

Portugal, I love Portugal, best holidays happened here.

Scotland, Edinburgh only really.

South Africa, visiting family and safari's - if you do one thing in your life it must be a safari in the Kruger National Park.

Spain, great for shopping.

Switzerland, a really lovely place, I love the mountains.

United States of America, California.

That's all I can think of now.

[Fwapper]

That's a pretty good mix ya got there Rythmic.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

I'm not really a great traveler myself - I much prefer to stay on land, I'm terrified of flying. However, I do still go visiting foreign countries, just I don't go exploring very often.

1. UK - it's not exactly the best place in the world, but I was born here, my family live here and, I still live here. Although living here is borderline satisfactory, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
2. Lanzarotte - I first went here at the age of three, apparently. Its a pleasurably warm place, if you can excuse the black-sands of Puerto del Carmen. It's also a pretty good place for day exclusions to the other islands, although I only did this once - Fuerteventura, the island which I selected, was almost freezing. On the other hand, the beaches were spectacular compared to most of the places which I saw on the coast line of Lanzarotte.
3. Greece - Possibly the best place I went too - definitely much more interesting for tourists than most. It was an amazing experience, the UK lacks any truly glorious classical architecture. As a final note, the food was even better than that of Lanzarotte, typical Greek cuisine is simply stunningly rich in flavor and complexity.

That's it really.

[Louis VI the Fat]

That's it really.

Come on, Omanes. You need to get out more! You're twenty-five!
Just take a train or a boat to the continent. Heck, you can even take a daytrip to Amsterdam, Bruxelles, Paris from England. It's not that expensive.

Just find some excuse to try out the channel tunnel

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

1. Germany - Didn't have much choice in the matter. I love it here though.

2. Canada - Beautiful, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec. Rules.

3. Costa Rica - Hot. Rastafaris! Good chorizo. Beaches. Rediscovered Canadian Ginger Ale.

4. Austria - Salzburg. Big castle, rained, overall nice.

5. USA - A couple airports, a bit boring, airports, decent pizza I suppose, airports smelled funny, especially Miami.

6. The Netherlands - Amsterdam. It's OK.

[Togakure]

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!

[Fwapper]

Is anyone off somewhere exciting this summer? Do send a postcard... or just post... on the forum...

[Ragnor_Lodbrok]

I've somehow visited Switzerland for the sole reason of living there and being born there.
Mallorca: To my defence i have to say that I was three years old at the time in question. And it was several kilometres away from the coast and thus not really close to Ballermann and any other drunk Germans visiting "Malorka".
France: Alsace and Savoy
Germany: I've been there!
Portugal: Lisboa and Madeira, which isn't only a beverage.
United States: South West.
England: I've only been to London.
Wales: I'm able to pronounce "Llan" HA! Plus the castles are nice.
