But I protest! Three nations I've been to don't get counted: Brittany, Cornwall, and Scotland! Guess why.

And just curious, since when does North America consist of Canada, the US, and Greenland? I'm pretty sure that I learned in grade 3 that North America is Canada, the US, and Mexico.

0%, because I've only been to Canada and the US.

12 if you count Scotland and Wales as countries, and why the hell not? Greenland and the Falkland Islands are listed, and unless I'm dumb, those're colonies, not countries! Injustice!

This totally needs to be a weighted average, because there is no way walking across the Vatican in 15 min. looking at one large building counts the same as driving across Canada, or any other large diverse country for that matter!

PS: I cheated and included China, cuz I've been to Hong Kong (pre-handover). Hey, it's Chinese soil now!

Also, the thing should be weighted somehow: does a week's package holiday to Jamaica really count as much as a year in the Sudan?

Still...kinda fun. 19%, 44 countries. Still so much to do, so many places to go. Russia's in my sights, and if I was independently wealthy, Bolivia, Ecuador, Brazil...more Pakistan, and some of those exotic Asian republics like Tajikistan.

Now let's see if this paste thingy works...

As you stand in the photo, the ancient cathedral (C13, but some stones date back to C8) is behind you; in front of you, the lawn flows down to the River Tay, at that point a very big and fast-flowing mountain river, filled with salmon and trout.

Gaaak!

She was the summer of '89. I was on long change, driving the Number One through the dry brown country between Brooks and the 'Hat.

There were gophers.

The highway was covered in gophers. Live ones, dead ones, big fat juicy ones and squashed ones.

There was one individual gopher among this multitude of roadentry that I shall never forget.

His back legs had been run over, glueing his body to the blacktop, yet he was somehow still able to stand (or was it kneel?) upright.
