I was there before the handover.

I included Canaries (Lanzarote) because it is a damn long way from the country I was residing in, and I count it as part of my travels :P

To all the folks splitting up England, N.Ireland, Wales etc.....that's cheating. They're all the one place, UK.

I also happen to think that it's cheating if you spent less than 24 hours there (as in if you had a stopover there and only saw the airport).

Now for me:
1. Ireland
2. UK (England, Wales, Scotland, N.Ireland - all of them)
3. France
4. Belgium
5. Holland
6. Italy
7. Vatican
8. America
9. Canada
10. Greece
11. Spain
12. Azores (technically Spain but I'll call it separately cos they're so far apart)
13. Lebanon
14. Germany
15. Hungary
16. Bosnia & Herzegovina
17. Portugal
18. Croatia

No need to be smug about it.
Ban on #Elites reduced to 48 hours.

rossie1977 · 27-08-2007 04:36PM

i don't think you have to spend > 24 hours in a place to consider having visited it

That means i haven't visited a ton of places in Ireland so such as Belfast, Sligo, Ballina, Mullingar, Bray, Longford, Ennis, Tralee, Waterford, Tullamore, Enniskillen, Omagh, Letterkenny etc because i was in those towns for less than 24 hours at a time.

I do agree though that stop-over countries should be marked with an ** because technically you didn't get to see the country

It all depends on if you are using the definition of countries as understood by the UN, Fifa or the Olympics etc who all have different lists, especially for "these islands". Actually using the Commonwealth separation would give you even more to choose from by adding the likes of Gurnesy and Jersey as well.
