Title: Where on earth have you been?
Post by: nonesuch on Jul 30, 2008, 11:09 AM
Ive noticed there are people from all over the world on this forum and I want to start a topic for the world travelers.

So, where are you now, where are you from, where have you been, what's your favorite city (country) in the world, where are you going (want to go)?



Im from New Orleans, have been all over America, lived in Taiwan for 3 months, visited Hong Kong, stayed in Singapore for a while, am currently in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and am heading to Thailand.

I plan on going to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Burma, before heading west.

I am from Albuquerque, NM.  I have pretty much been all over the east and west coast of the states.  And a few states here and there towards mind americs ( Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois)

I have been to mexico a few times, never Canada though.  The Bahamas, Dominican republic, Puerto Rico, I currently live in Okinawa, Japan.  I have been to tokyo, guam, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kyrgzistan.  I think that's it. 

I guess I want to go to pretty much anywhere. Iraq is next on the list though.

I live in Lithuania, it's in Europe, and yes, most probably most of you never heard of it. I dislike my home country as well..

I haven't been much abroad - only to Ireland, England, Russia, Poland, Latvia. My favourite city abroad? It would be Dublin, because I am planning to live there in about three years, full time.

I would like to visit eastern countries (Thailand? Japan? China?), Iceland!!, and maybe USA.

ah Italy and greece,   definitely the two countries i want to visit the most.  Well all over Europe actually

variable, i actually have gained a lot of respect for you,  sorry for the heated exchange on the other topic, but you did directly insult me and my home state,  but wow   "guam, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Kyrgzistan"    thats an impressive list (even if it it wasn't by choice).   I'm actually hanging out with a girl from Okinawa at my hostel in Kuala Lumpur right now, i hear its beautiful.  And i went to Haiti (the other side of the Dominican Republic) on a missionary trip when I was young.  I bet its a lot nicer on that side


oldnewtype -  you've never left Louisiana? not even mississippi or texas?

Born: Seattle

I've been in every state of the US, most just driven through or stopped at the airport.

Traveled all over Mexico and parts of Canada... I lived in Torreon, Mexico for two months, I enjoyed it. Canada was weak. No offense, but the accent really really bugs me... I can't get past it. To me it feels like they speak like that to bother me.

Where I want to live: Honolulu

Worst state: Kansas (I actually heard this line from a cop, "you ani't from around here are you boy?")

Favorite: Hawaii

I used to live in Santa Cruz, CA. I loved the area, the traffic sucked. Santa Cruz beach was cool, but stank or seaweed something awful.

how does canadian accent sound like?

im from germany and have seen some european countries as france, italy, swiss, austria, poland, denmark, norway, sweden, hungary.

i have to say im pretty sick of countrysides that just offer mountains, rocks and stuff like that. i like forrests and liveley cities with a good offer in culture.


id like to freshen up my englisch in america one time and i also would like to train some martial art in korea or japan or even thailand/cambodia or malaysia. and i also like fish which those countries offer too

Hmmm, lived in France (in many different places all over the country, and visited the rest), in Tokyo (6 months), and am now living in Hong Kong (for the past year and a half). Plan on living there permanently, at least until my next move (which will not be back to France).

Visited US (Florida) when I was a kid but cannot remember shit (obviously), Holland (Amsterdam), Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca, Ibiza), England (London), Germany (Munchen), Luxembourg, Greece (Athens, Crete), Japan (Tokyo, Shimoda, Nagano), Taiwan (Taipei), China (Hainan island, Beijing, Shenzen), Philippines (Boracay, Manila), Korea (whatever shitty ski resort it was), Mongolia (Ulaan Baatar, steppes).

I may be forgetting stuff, but that's about it...

Instead of about, they say a boot...

In all honesty I think most Canadians are much kinder people than americans, much more laid back. So really I'm just nit picky.

Just saw this and thought it was funny.

Born and bred in Greater Manchester, England, UK :] It's not the best place ever but nowhere else feels the same to me... It's definitely home and I can never see myself living anywhere outside of Manchester. The music scene here is slowly getting better and 95% of bands who tour the UK play here. I don't wanna leave. Ever :]

I haven't been to that many places really - France 3 times, Belgium twice and Tenerife one time. I've been all over England and Wales though.

My friend went recently and she was telling me how she got really good vibes from the people. She said everyone was just so different and cool with each other.  She loved how everyone rode bikes and I'm really into transportation that doesn't deal with cars, so any city that promotes that kind of life is a + in my book. It inspired me to go.

That's because you look like Goose from Top Gun and everyone one remembers the homoerotic scenes between you and Tom Cruise especially the one playing beach ball and slapping each other's arses and they just wanna be Tom Cruise for the day.

6th street is awesome.  UT has a cool campus.  The Capital building is also awesome.  The city itself is just beautiful.  Not the usual flat land that you think of when you think of texas.  And there is like 2 or 3 lakes in the city?  I think?  I ate at a restaurant called the Oasis.  It had a great view.  I just really enjoyed the city.  Im thinking about going to school there in a couple years.

I live in New Zealand and live in a small town. When I go up to the cities in new zealand I'm still amazed at their size (our largest city has just over 1 million people by the way, probably small to all of you).

Have been to Australia once.

my home town (which is second largest in my country) has over 300.000 people only, so no, that city is NOT small to me :)

We do, it's just that because of our countries size no one really cares.

I mean yesterday 12 drug lords were busted (8 of which were already in jail, but still organising the P labs) and 23 homes in auckland were raided and over 5 million dollars worth of P was found.

Another kiwi! Awsome. Im in Wellington. Where are you?

We are a pretty non-violent country, but at the top of the north island its getting pretty bad. We've had 7 murders in the one area. I know this seems like bugger all, but our population is small and we're (generally) a really friendly bunch.

P is what they call crack here also.

Yet you are voting for a presidential candidate who is not trying to change that, when others are running who would legalize marijuana.  Interesting.....

O Rly?    Yeah, because Nader and Paul will for sure be voted president.    :-\     I'm pretty sure that marijuana won't be legalized in my lifetime, and I've come to accept that.    It's fucked up.   Bigtime.   Alcohol is legal... yet it can kill you.     Marijuana is grown from the ground.... can't ever kill you..... and its illegal.   Go figure.    I smoke it anyway.

You know.  In Afghanistan, almost every day we had to hear "complacency kills".  Obviously meaning that if we get too comfortable in a certain area and aren't on our game at all times.  That is when we are not going to see an IED or and ambush coming.
Who would have thought that "complacency kills" would be applicable outside of a combat zone?

I'm currently in Bergen, Norway and I've lived here my whole life. I have been to Denmark, Sweden, England, Wales, Turkey and Spain.

My favorite city has to be London, actually. I find it so busy and crowded, and yet it seems so comfortably... normal.

I would really like to see New York. I don't know why, I've just always loved the city. Country? The United States or Russia.
