    2.Belgium
    3.France
    4.Italy

    Seems like feck all when its written down. Have had a crappy few years and between money woes and family illnesses have not seen half as much as I would have liked to by now but that mammoth trip to the states did make up for some of it.

    Americas
    27 USA
    28 Mexico

    Oceania
    29 Australia

    Middle East
    30 Qatar


    Just about break the 30 mark, but I reckon counting the last three in Europe as 'countries' is cheating a little.

    Lived in Australia for a year up a few months back, so did a huge amount of travelling around it, and Asia. Never got to New Zealand but will definitely go back. Moving to Gibraltar on Friday to work for a few years, once I've got a bit of cash I'm hoping to do South America for about 3-4 months which should get me closer to 40 countries... the dream has always been 50 before Im 30 :)

    Well the Vatican at least has a seat at the UN, which is more than can be said 6 of the other "countries" listed under Europe.

    Perhaps... I dont really class N Ireland as a seperate country tbh. But I'd like to hear you tell Scottish or Welsh people that they aren't 'really' a country! Sure if it wasn't for 1916 we wouldnt be a country either now would we...

    I wouldn't consider Isle of Man or Gibraltar seperate countries, the Vatican City is more of a city state... but you can't say that visiting Scotland or Wales is the same as England. Whereas N Ireland feels very similar to the South, with British overtones. Totally different imo

    Like you can't say that visiting Dublin is the same as visiting Cork, they are still the same country though no matter how much those crazy Corkonians protest otherwise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    When Cork get their own flag and football team I'll reconsider...

    4. Austria
    5. Belarus
    6. Italy
    7. Netherlands
    8. Belgium

    Then however you want to look at it.
    9. Uk

    or
    9. Northern Ireland
    10. England
    11. Wales

    Counting England, Wales and Scotland as different countries, but not Northern Ireland, makes no sense.
