Exciting adventures from around the globe

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
I've been to exactly one country: America. But that'll change this summer when I go and visit Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. I'm quite worred about New Zealand, though. I've heard from many different sources that sheep-fucking is quite prominent.

Anyway.

So, why don't you cocks show off and share where you have been/what have you done around the world? Any interesting stories?

Any tips on how to take advantage of sheep?

Socialism is the concrete foundation of America. Capitalism is the flimsy tin shack that sits upon it.

    Oh, I have a friend studying abroad in New Zealand right now. Apparently the sheep outnumber the people there a lot. So uh.. maybe they just have some really attractive sheep?

    I've been to Costa Rica, Mexico, Australia, England, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and the Czech Republic.

    Prague is probably my favorite place ever.

    Nice people, beautiful buildings everywhere you look, good, cheap beer.

    Watch out for hooves.

    These lists were copied from that facebook app since I honestly can't even remember the places where I've lived any more.

    I've been to (but not lived in):
    • Australia
    • Bahamas
    • China
    • France
    • Germany
    • Hawaii
    • Ireland
    • Italy
    • Mexico (in both the actual vacation and the "I live within view of there" sense)
    • New Zealand
    • Philippines
    • Portugal
    • Scotland
    • Sicily
    • Spain
    • Wales
    • A good chunk of the States as I've moved around. Taking in the sights as the Navy moved my family to various hospitals

    Where I've lived:
    • England
    • Japan
    • California (North and South; SOUTH 4EVUR)
    • Florida
    • Texas
    • Guam (learned this recently. I was young and didn't realize we had moved from there to Florida)

    My parents were serving as doctors for the Navy, so they used to get re-stationed a lot. Even when we settled down they liked to go on a lot of vacations.

    During high school I was part of a... let's just say it is a professional gay outlet. The director of the group managed to convince the school board that a two week international vacation branded as a "cultural exchange" would be good for these blossoming fags. Pretty sweet.

    Born in Texas, 1979.

    Moved to West Germany, 1986. While here I get to visit Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

    Berlin Wall/USSR falls, 1989, I witness firsthand the reunification of Germany and the influx of Soviet bloc immigrants.

    1991, we move to Ft. Sill, Oklahoma.

    1995, we move back to Texas.

    1997, back to Ft. Sill.

    1998 I complete boot at Ft. Benning, Georgia and get assigned to Camp Greaves, within mortar range of the DMZ in South Korea.

    1999 I am reassigned to Ft. Campbell, KY.

    2001 I am shipped off to Shabaz air base in Pakistan.

    2002 I deploy into hostile operations in Afghanistan.

    Later in 2002 I go back to Ft. Sill via the following route: Afghanistan>Pakistan>Oman>Quatarr>Cyprus>Germany>Ireland>Atlanta to do specialized training, then re-station to Ft. Lewis, WA

    2003, medical discharge from Army, lived in the Seattle area ever since.

    i lived in england for a while and canada. i'm australian otherwise

    i'm probably moving back to vancouver next year. sydney's a great city but i'd never afford to live here and have a family. i can't wait 'till vancouver's market crashes after the olympics in 2010 and we can invest in some property

    i'd love to see more of the states and europe, especially eastern europe. once you travel you kind of never want to stop. i can't really stop, since i have close family on two continents... i guess i'm doomed to constantly wander the earth. with all sorts of credit cards.

    i'd never bring up kids in england, it's too cultured there for its own good. plus the weather's crap. but i'd love to live there again sometime. it's a great country and maybe it's just because my mum's english but i identify more with brits than australians or anyone else - they're so dryly humorous and self deprecating. good stuff.

    also the pubs. man i miss having two pubs on every corner

    in new zealand we met this sailor who was good at telling all these stories about all this crazy shit hed seen travelling around

    like getting robbed by pirates

    and going to some island called Chacachacare near trinidad which used to be a leper colony, and for a few years after everyone on the island died no one would go there for fear of the disease
    but he went anyway and there were all these neat mansions and stuff and everything was in the right place and it was like a ghost town where everyone had just suddenly left without packing anything up
    so completely abandoned, fully furnished houses and mansions all around and free to explore
    sounded really cool
    and i think there was a graveyard, but one of the bodies was only partially covered and they thought (maybe there was some evidence, like matching a diary to some id) that it was the last person on the island, who died all by themselves and tried to bury themselves a bit just before death

    apparently now everything has been looted and donald trump was thinking about building a casino there

    I'm not going to list places I've been multiple times, but here is the list that I can recall at the moment I've got to on vacation by Continent:

    The Americas:
    I've been basically everywhere save the west coast of the USA, including a road trip to Alaska.
    Mexico
    Canada
    The Bahamas

    Asia:
    Korea (I've lived here now 8 years)
    Japan
    China
    Thailand
    Cambodia

    Europe:
    Sweden
    Norway
    Denmark
    Germany
    Netherlands
    Poland
    Hungary
    Switzerland
    England
    France
    Italy

    (I saw Swaziland, but it's too crazy to actually enter that place.)

    Eventually I'll make my way to South America and around Oceania. I want to make it to all seven continents before I die.
