Thread: How many countries have you been to? How many have you lived in?

I do hope you skipped the braised cabbage with the meal. Based on my own experience the flatulence that stuff can generate from about six hours later and releasing copious noxious amounts of it in an aircraft on a long haul flight is near on a war crime or terrorist act.

If inbound, a trip to the basement to Dr Muellers sex shop to stock up on Western size condoms and various battery operated toys the girls use to enjoy too

I have been to French Somaliland.

Forgot that I visited Scotland and also worked and am from Canada.

Also transited through some countries like Japan and Jordan.

Really hope to see South America and Africa at some point long after Covid. Planning a trip to Cuba next year.

Well, i don't think many of us will be adding to our count this year or possibly next year. I wouldn't anyway, the next few years both work and leisure are mapped.

I was watching Ben Fogle New Lives In The Wild last night - its a series where he revisits people he met previously - they live in some interesting locations and live lives in unconventional manners.

Link if you can get it.

I think the first trip most of us will do is to visit family.

Yep, a very good watch.

I'm with my family, thoroughly enjoyed the last three+ months of being together . . . so the first trip will be to work in Malaysia and Singapore that is piling up

Let me know when you are anywhere close to Singapore...

Will do, KW

Visited about 30, driven through a couple more. Lived in 9. Counted China but i only worked there for 3-4 weeks. The 9 are part of the 30.

That doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason. I see it and press on it, but it isn't playing. Looks interesting though. Thanks

it would be even more interesting if you listed the countries in which you've opened and abandoned franchises.

Somehow it doesn't inspire confidence in that potentially winning total of 88 countries visited.

Certainly more confidence in this than Jeff's "claim" earlier.

Cycled through 24, visited a three more. Lived in two, three if 3 months in a campground in Munich counts.

So the current standings are me being relegated to 2nd place and Phuketrichard taking top spot!

Unless Jeff ever puts up...

...Phuketrichard is the winner then!
