OT: What countries have you been to?

[Alcuse01]

Mexico, Canada, England, Netherlands, Bahamas, Bermuda, BVI, Costa Rica, Honduras, and live in Cayman.
This year I currently have Germany and Czech booked for Oktoberfest.

 

[JarHeadJim]

I have been too 33 countries. Most off them were stuffholes!

 

[MassOrange]

Canada doesn't count; it's a state : )

Austria - a day trip to Salzburg
Czech Republic - Prague is great, and extremely walkable. The air pollution (and resulting effects on the architecture) is really too bad.
Denmark - lived in Odense for 3 months. Really flat country.
France - Normandy Beach is a humbling experience. Also really liked Versaille and Mont St Michele.
Germany - family lives in Munich, so I just have to visit Oktoberfestland every couple years. Dangit.
Nepal - Annapurna Circuit trek, 13 days of hiking.
Norway - Bergen, fjords, and the heaviest snow I have ever experienced on the Lofoten Islands.
Spain - Granada and the Alhambra palace
Switzerland - Lausanne, Bern, Zurich, Geneva, Zermatt (the Matterhorn).
Turkey - Istanbul, Ephesus, Cappadocia (right on, Suttree), and one terrific sunset in Antalya.

Future targets: Iceland, Costa Rica, Brazil?

What I like best about this thread ... is how all our servicemen/veterans here ... post all the places to which they have been deployed. I never would have guessed Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan would have come up so frequently in such a thread... because I was thinking about vacation trips. On this Memorial Day weekend... cheers to our servicemen who have been to all those difficult places!

Favorites:
Hanoi, Vietnam - beautiful throwback feel and raw edge about the city. If you go, stay at the Sofitel Metropole. Amazing French/Vietnamese hotel that makes you feel as though traveling to that part of the world is still a privileged experience for a westerner. It also would cost 5x in Europe or NYC.
Cape Town and surrounding areas - Geographically no cityscape can compare.
Ruaha National Park, Tanzania - wife and I went for our honeymoon. Unforgettable experience, amazingly nice and sincere people.
Dubrovnik, Croatia - medieval fortress town but what is best is the surrounding area. Beautiful landscapes everywhere and the best seafood I have had.
Patagonia, Argentina - hiking around Moreno Glacier and the clear skies that far south.
Ouarzazate, Morocco - the step into the desert, spending some time with some Berbers who live permanently in the desert is quite an experience.
The fjords of Norway - renting a car and driving around the fjords, ferries between the fjords and tunnels through mountains literally every 20-30 miles, including driving through the longest tunnel in the world at 16 miles. Ridiculously expensive country though.
Khyber Pass, Pakistan - the sheer scale of the place and the history of the people who have tried (and failed) to conquer is something, from Alexander the Great on.

Need to go to Rome and Athens. There are lots of places I would love to go but those are the two I need to get to before I die.

I was in Rome last summer, it was awesome.

... You must've really hated Holland to list it 3 times! Soooo, was it the "coffee" houses, or the red light district that you despised the most? Or was it the canals, the museums, the architecture and the ambience?

 

[Yegorange]

Interesting. Great list. One of my good friends married an Estonian girl (blond and hot) when she was studying in the states. He has been over there a bunch and absolutely LOVES it.

What's your take on Kyiv? I was raised Ukrainian and with all of those traditions/customs. I have never been but speak it fluently and know a little Russian. My cousin just got a job working for this law firm there so I have to go now. He dosn't really know the place well yet.

Wow... It was late when I posted. Take out 2 Hollands, but add an Austria. All of Europe for me came a one month tour at 18 years old with American Music Abroad program.
