Generally I enjoyed my visits to those countries. I still like going to Italy a lot. After Singapore, it's the country I've been to most often

BC is overrated and overcrowded

I know, but the majority of my family lives there.

Damn I want to get the hell outa here and go to the Philippines, but I can't for at least a year and a half.

I still want to go there, mostly because of the Mountain scenery, the forests, and the rivers. I am sure there are plenty of those in Alberta, too.

You wanna be cowboy. Come on, it's alright, admit it.

Oh, no, I am very much the city boy, actually. But a quiet wilderness soothes my soul.

I´m fascinated by the ME. I already was in Jordan and Egypt, Israel was planned but then the known ugly things changed my mind. I hope it is getting better soon (of course not only from the tourist perspective, but that´s what this thread is about).

Southern Europe is always good, Greece, Spain are still on my list. USA, Canada or Australia would be nice, but not in the near future (mainly money-related).

If you do, you know who you can ask for tips.

Took a trip through Italy a month or two ago:

Rome: found only 1 pub, an Irish one with ridiculous prices
Siena: same as Rome
Pisa: no pubs at all!
Milan: same as Rome

Also, in Milan I saw alot of people wearing jackets/sweaters of the German Army
And I got nearly attacked by a ****ed up Moroccan in Milan (drugs, I guess).

Still, Italy is a nice country; I'm going back in august...

Let's see I've been to BC, Alberta, saskatchewan, every US state west of the Mississippi and majority east of it, Baja (north and south), Sonora, Sinaloa, Quintana Roo, Panama, Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Greece, Macadonia, Yugoslavia, Italy (north only), Germany, England, and I've been right on the border looking into Albania, Yukon territory, and Cambodia.

I have a map on my cubical wall at work with red marks on countries I've been to and blue marks for where I really want to visit. Eventually I want to see the world turned red.

What's the point of going to a different country if all your going to do is look for things you could have done without leaving home? Wouldn't it have been more memorable to enjoy local specialties and local traditions?

Chicago: for the Wizard World Convention and to meet Ming.

[Pekka]

I love every place I've visited, and I want to go back. I've been travelling a lot so I've been fortunate. I love everything.

Monolith94, what does archipelago mean?
