who else here has 2 passports?
its pretty cool
if i felt like it i could just hop on a plane to europe and start working
also when i get this oic card i can do the same with india
I was close to making a really bad joke, but as I was typing it I started feeling really bad about it
i've lived pretty much all over india, stayed in kazakhstan for a couple months, moved to canada, lived in ukraine for a few months, then canada again.
i've spent a day in amsterdam, frankfurt, and london, but those don't count at all.
I have had proper holidays (none of this passing through stuff) in:
Scotland
Wales
France
Italy
Greece
Czech Republic
Denmark
Tenerife
Portugal
California
So other than California I've not ventured outside Europe/European territory which is pretty disgraceful.
I'd like to visit Germany, Russia and Peru most of all.
Greece was probably the most fascinating place on that list. However, that was because I was able to tour the country with a teacher who was an excellent tour guide. I'd like to go back and yet I know it wouldn't be the same because I don't speak Greek, I couldn't find a coach to take me to all of the same places, and I wouldn't have someone as knowledgeable and as interesting as my teacher was. I really loved Delphi.
Italy is great especially if you have a large family. The other year my family were staying in an amazingly well-built house in a village in Tuscany. There were a lot of villages in the area devoid of children; Italy's very low birthrate combined with the emigration of young people out of the countryside meant that the villages are populated almost entirely by the middle aged and elderly. My parents attracted compliments everywhere and waiters loved serving us in restaurants which was actually really lovely as if you walk in to a restaurant with a big family in England they serve you very reluctantly. Rome and Vatican City were two places I am definitely glad I have seen but they did not leave as great an impression as Greece did.

Never been outside of the states.
I have been to the four corners of the continental U.S. and flown over most of it.
I've been to chicago and Minnesota too.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
The bad thing about being in California is most of my holidays in the future will be taken up with visiting England.
However my dad, who has no interest in visiting the US, has suggested we could sometime meet in South America.

Where you can be horribly killed by:
Corrupt government officials!
Rough and gruff drug lords!
Xenophobic natives!
Piranas!
Insects!
Different insects!
A frog (poisonous)!
Ants (oh God soldier ants won't stop ever)

Actually my dad's secret plan is to persuade me and Mori to emigrate to New Zealand. Then he and my mother will move there and we'll all be in the same country!

I remember reading a story in the 7th grade, a diary of a person who was manning a fort in the Amazon.
They got word of a soldier ant swarm heading their way, that would take a few days to reach them.
They set up a moat to drown the ants, got out napalm to burn the ants, got out pesticides and flame throwers. They set up trap holes everywhere.
The ants crawled into the moat until they were able to walk over the dead, fallen bodies of their compatriots. They stared into the flames and kept coming until they ran out of fuel. Any person who happened to be trapped under the swarm was eaten alive.
Oh God solider ants.

I have no idea why people would want to move to New Zealand.
I mean it's green and all.
And that's it.
No wait.
It's green and there is rugby, oh and the aforementioned massive amount of sheep.

Leiningen Versus the Ants. Such an awesome story. It got me really interested in entomology, and for several years there I was determined to become a myrmecologist.
Anyway, the story's old enough to be public domain so if anyone wants to check it out they can do so here.

I like how the far side wants to visit Australia but doesn't want to go to Tasmania.

Imagine Starcraft.
you have one terran base with unlimited resources and have built bunker after bunker filled with firebats.
You are up against 7 zerg teams who have built nothing but zerglings for the entire game.
You will die.

And Gibraltar, since that is technically some sort of UK land but is way the fuck not by there
Notice I didn't give it its own entry, but grouped it with Italy. Because technical it's a separate country, but not really.
