How many countries have you visited?

[Philbert]

This kind of has something to do with visiting other countries, so I'll ask because I'm curious...

Has anyone ever been on a cruise or just out on a boat in the middle of the ocean? I've always wondered what it smells like. Does it smell like really strong, "fishy" water?

No...ports smell of rotting fish and fuel fumes, the ocean has a fresh smell and isn't usually odiferous at all.

(I am sure that is the basis of the famous joke punchline "Now we'll never get that smell off the fish.":rofl

I've been to Mexico, but I was in a really shitty part of it. So, that sucked. And, I've also been to the Canadian side of Niagra Falls. I wasn't too impressed with that either. But, then again, I was like 11 years old and my mom made me wear this pinkish-purple colored "Niagra Falls" hat and I was embarassed as fuck.

:1orglaugh I understand how you felt as my dad forced me into wearing extremely ugly t-shirts with the inscription wild, wet and beautiful (as a 14 year old) on because that was the slogan for my home town.. Imagine the looks I got from some people

That uh...that sounds kind of creepy. I don't know what I'd do if I saw a 14 year old wearing a "Wild, Wet and Beautiful" t-shirt.

Too many, you see im a suicide bomber and you know its a good job really, the press makes a big deal about it, but I enjoy it, you see exotic places you wouldnt normally see doing a 9 to 5, I was in Bali a few years ago, that was a fun trip You meet exciting people, mostly people you hate or have been taught to hate, and its well paying you wont belive how many virgins ive fucked since 1996 when I started this job, if I told you your head might spin.

I really hate it when people degrade my line of work, I mean I pay my taxes and I control the populations, people live longer in this day in age, im just a way of helping that because lets face it people are a drain on the economy. So stop putting my work down!!! Without me and those like me the Earth would be a much worse place.


Is that too offensive?

 

[Lusty]

I've been to quite a few myself but tend to go East rather than West.
I'd like to go to Iceland but its to expensive.
I have no interest in going anywhere in Africa as its to corrupt and dangerous except Morrocco maybe.

 

[colonelf40]

Canada
Mexico
Guatemala
El Salvador
England
Nederlands
Belgium
France
Germany
Spain
Morrocco
Algeria
Tunisia
Italy
Greece
Turkey
Israel
Iran
Pakistan
Afghanistan

Passed thru briefly several others, but never looked around (Belieze, Honduras, Lebanon,etc)

*note on travel...most border areas are polluted with negative influences from other cultures colliding at that point (to say nothing of the hustlers and thieves); Puerta Viarta, Veracruz, and Pueblo are gorgeous and laid back places in Mexico, compared to Matamoras and Nuevo Laredo. Casablanca and Tangiers can wear you out, but Marakesch and Rabat are a delight.
Istanbul is huge, can be beautiful and filthy in the same day (only city in Europe and Asia at the same time)...go south and you find beautiful Mediterranian beaches and pastoral scenery, and laid back smiling Turks.:sunny:
I could go on, but most travelers can give you numerous examples.

Why in the blue hell would you wanna go to Pakistan!!!
Try India instead
