    oh, and every holiday i have been on, it has either been extreme snow or rain.

    I went to the aran islands once, we decided to take the boat to go out, but the waves were so high, i swear we flew higher than the plane...:)

    Canada, US, Germany, Spain, UK, (where I have been known to reside on and off for short periods) and holiday spots that probably don't count much.

    Most incredible site I have seen on my travels?

    The revolving, foam-covered dancefloor of the Tuxedo Royale nightclub, which is a converted cruise ship that's been floated up the Tyne in Newcastle and moored especially for all of those clubbers that wont get in anywhere else.

    That, and a child at the holiday inn in Syracuse who was a dead ringer for the Larson cartoon geek.


    Woud love a list of visited destinations as long as my arm and a passport as thick as the phonebook with stamps, but then I managed to make a dogs dinner out of my life and can't even think about going anywhere until I pay off my debts.

    Bah travelling humbug.

    so many places I want to go to. I lived in the United Arab Emirates, UK and Greece, now here. Greece was my facourite place to stay in and I keep going back when I can.

    Places that I've travelled to for holidays and suchlike -
    Switzerland around Zurich. In Switzerland they have no green man at the lights. There are special zebra type crossings and you are meant to just walk out onto the road and cross as opposed to waiting for the cars to stop - THEY STOP FOR YOU! It was a crazy leap of faith that city but great.

    Some place up in Mont Blanc area in France skiing on perfect snow with a warm sun and plenty of french beauties to attempt to show off my bad skiing towards.

    Went to Spain near Alicante to have a holiday, burnt my back off so confined myself to the insides and learnt about the society of the ant.

    My parents lived in Egypt so my sister and I met them there. What a place Cairo is. You really have to just go there. We rode a "horse" around the pyramids, they really are awesome when you see them up close and from afar, pictures do them no justice. But apparently if you go to Egypt - the valley of the Kings and Luxor is the real amazement.

    Russia - Moscow is a city on grandeur factor 10. The statues and buildings and churches -everything is so big and wonderful. My Russian girlfriend took me to a ballet in the Kremlin, what a great time. Everyone in Russia or in Moscow at least- lives in large blocks of flats. It is so strange because you can walk into this densely populated housing scheme with graffitti on the walls and shaky bannisters to walk in to the flat and find a beautiful apartment clean and pristene.

    I don't feel that I have been to many places in the world as there are so many more great places to see but I feel that so many people in this country haven't been out of their city or town much and need it so greatly. There is a high level of racial abuse in Dublin and if every person with such feelings were persecuted from their land and dumped into a country that they didn't understand I'm pretty sure that few would still have such racist beliefs.

    (Oh, and I went to Wales too!)
