    Australia
    America
    France
    Spain
    Portugal
    Italy
    Germany
    England
    Scotland
    Singapore
    Czechoslovakia

    Jakers, it's a very short list. Must get that sorted.

    Excluding "Airport Only" visits and counting the UK as one country I have been to 26 countries:

    1) Ireland
    2) UK (x 6 approx)
    3) France (x 2)
    4) Spain (x 4)
    5) Portugal (x 2)
    6) Andorra
    7) Italy
    8) Croatia
    9) Bosnia-Herzegovina
    10) Montenegro
    11) Sweden
    12) Norway
    13) Netherlands (x 2)
    14) USA (x 4)
    15) Canada
    16) Mexico
    17) Brazil
    18) Uruguay
    19) Argentina
    20) Chile
    21) Bolivia
    22) Peru
    23) New Zealand
    24) Australia (x 2, currently live here)
    25) Japan
    26) South Korea

    Don't know why people are counting Eng, Sco, Wal and NI as seperate. The UK is one sovereign state, with the same prime minister, queen, currency, members of parliament. All Olympians represent GB&NI. Counting these individually is cheating, as is counting airport visits :)

    Likewise counting the Canaries or Balearics separately from Spain!

    I would love to travel on the Tran-Siberian train from Russia to China, also Sth American countries like Brazil, Argentina and Peru; as well as a few Asian countries.

    I'm definitely lagging way behind others here. Need to sort myself out.

    To 04072511,

    I could be wrong but I assumed that when people wrote down the countries which they visited that it was a chance for others to ask questions about places they wish to go. I dont think it is a competition so cheating is neither here nor there.

    It was a light hearted, tongue in cheak comment. Having said that, it does amaze me that well travelled people still think of England, Scotland, Wales, Canaries etc as seperate countries. Second year geography guys!! :rolleyes:

    My grand total is now 63. Instead of boring everyone with the individual list, it's all of Europe (including silly tiny countries like Vatican City) except for Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, Albania, Belarus
    Asia includes South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, China, Kazakhstan, Israel, Malaysia, Indonesia
    Africa includes South Africa, Kenya, Egypt
    South America includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay
    North America includes Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, USA, Canada, Bahamas
    I don't count stopovers (never leaving the airport) and not sure how to count places that don't exist anymore (GDR, Czechoslovakia, Serbia-Montenegro)

    GDR
    ,

    I think it is fair to count the GDR as it was quite different, when it existed.

    If you were in Prague and Bratislava before separation, then that counts as one country (Czechoslovakia).
    If you were in both after, then that's two (Czech Republic & Slovakia)
    If you were in Prague before separation, and Bratislava afterwards, then that's 2 (Czechoslovakia & Slovakia)
    If you were in Prague both before and after separation, I'd only count it as one though.
    And finally, if you've been in Czechoslovakia before separation, and both afterwards, I don't think you can really count it as three countries.
