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.

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

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.

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.

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.
