You've been to Sri Lanka? WTF?

I guess I've been a few places, mostly thanks to viola/orchestra/music:

Mexico:
-Puerto Vallarta (when I was 3)
-Baja California (like, 4 times)

United States:
-Ohio
-California (born there)
-Texas (school there/here)
-Arizona
-Utah
-New Mexico (briefly)
-Colorado
-Nevada (Las VEGAS...like...8 times)
-New York (I had a stopover there, so I didn't really get to see anything )

Italy
-went all over middle-to-northern Italy

UK
-England (mostly just London)
-Wales
-Ireland

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I am jealous of pretty much all of you. In 21 years, I still have never left this time zone. =(

US:

Michigan (I've lived here all my life)
Ohio
Pennsylvania
New Jersey (some family lives here)
New York (passed through the state from Ontario to New Jersey. Never been to NYC)
Maryland
Washington D.C.
Virginia (during the D.C. visit)
Florida

Canada:

Ontario (I have family that lives here, and the usual hour drive across the border and then some really isn't that big of a trip)

I was in band all through high school, but because of September 11th, we had a trip canceled one year, and because of the freaking terror level being yellow around the time of our trips in future years, those were canceled too. And I've missed out on two other major trips because of broken down cars.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sea World is pretty boring. The San Diego Wild Animal Park is (in my opinion) a bit more interesting, if you want to look at animals.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Mainly all the traveling I've done were within the US:

California - Born there, went back a few 100 times to visit relitives....
Pennsylvania - Lived there age 2 - age 8, then moved.
Ohio - Lived there age 8 - age 16, my mom devorced my dad.
Washington - Present place of residence.
Nevada - My uncle lives in Reno, so main reason why we stayed there a few days. Oh and there was the swarm of crickets at a rest stop 8D .
Maryland / Virginia - My dads from there, so we basicly took trips to the shore every few years or to visit my aunt.
Tennessee - Saw my first concert there.
Florda - Never...going...on...another...rollercoster....aga in!
South Dakota - Stayed in Deadwood for a few days...no reason...
North / South Carolina - My mom used to have friends down there...and she liked to visit Cherokee alot...

OTHER RANDOM STATES THAT WERE EITHER DRIVE THROUGHS OR OVERNIGHTERS (in no order):
West Virginia (the curse of living by the Ohio river...on the Ohio side we had to drive through the tip to go to PA...)
Indiana
Illinois
North Dakota
Texas
Kansas
Arizona
New Mexico
Utah
Colorado
Wyoming
Iowa
Idaho
Missouri
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Kentucky
Michigan
Missisppi (More or less a worong turn...)
Gegorgia
Oklahoma
Montana

I was speaking idiomatically.

I haven't traveled to any other states aside from Nevada. The only other countries I've visited were Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Taipei. I typically make a stop in either Hong Kong or Taipei for only a few hours though.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

US States
Massachusetts
Conneticut
New York
New Hampshire
Vermont
Rhode Island
Maine
Pennsylvania
Maryland
New Jersey
Delaware
Virginia
Washington (the state)
Washington D.C

Other Countries
Newfoundland
Vancouver
Quebec
Iceland
Amsterdam

I believe that's it. My favorite was Iceland, becaase it was during the summer solstice and staying up all night without the sun going down was THE COOLEST experience I've had in my entire life.

FELIPE NO

And being from Wyoming, this is also a place where it's very polarized in terms of travel. Either you've had the chance to travel or you've never left the state. It's very common to travel around Wyoming if you live there because most of the time you'll have to go do things in either Casper or Cheyenne (or if one does have to go out of state, it's either to Salt Lake City, Bozeman, Billings, Rapid City, Ft. Collins, or Denver). So, travel is a necessity if you're willing enough to live in Wyoming.

As for me, I grew up with parents that like going to places. Currently we're just waiting for Christmas to come so we can take off for Orlando and do things over in Florida. I'm also saving money for my own trip to visit friends in Victoria, BC right after finals here at the University.

Where have I been?

Montana - Many many times. Father's family is native to this state
Colorado - Because Wyoming should really be annexed by this place, and Denver's my favourite place to be in the country.
Idaho
Utah
Arizona
New Mexico - Briefly. We were on our way back from Arizona and chose to go this way.
South Dakota - This place is like Wyoming once you've gone outside the Black Hills, fucking boring.
Nebraska - I hate this place. No mountains. I must have my giant sloped rocks within reasonable distance, damnit.
Iowa
Illinois - Twice. Second time was a week long trip to visit a friend that moved there right after middle school ended
Indiana
Ohio - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame FTW
West Virginia - We only drove through those very thin parts of it just for novelty's sake.
Pennsylvania - I heart Hershey and Gettysburg
Maryland - See West Virginia
Washington D.C.
Virginia - This was the first place I had ever heard of or seen grits. Disgusting things they are
North Carolina - If you're evver in Kill Devil Hills, which is the town that Kitty Hawk is near, go eat at Bob's Grill. The place's slogan is "Eat and get the hell out."
Tennessee
Kentucky
Missouri
Kansas - This place has enough sagebrush to match Wyoming

Alberta - Twice. First time I was a toddler, second time we went to Lethbridge. Hockey is so fun to watch in Canada
Nogales, Mexico - People can't parallel park for shit in this town.

Washington, Oregon, and California I've also visited, but I was so young I don't remember being there.

Future vacations I have in mind would be to visit at least one great place in each continent of the world--even Antarctica. However, the one place I want to go visit more than anywhere else is Norway so I can see where my lineage comes from.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Shit. I have an explanation for this. When I was little a friend of mine had a BUILD YOUR OWN MAP of some sort toy. I always liked geography so I looked at his finished product. He literally did build his own fucking map though because he had New Mexico above Texas, not next to it. My idea that Texas and Arizona were side to side started there. I discovered my error while looking at some maps in prison... Guess my mind put that new info aside when I made this thread.

Anyhow, to distract myself from my jackassedness, are you the same Ryuu from a few years ago that possibly started off always posting in red?

How ya doing, buddy?

Firstly, states in the USA I've been to...

Illinois
Wisconsin
Michigan
California
Florida
New York
Nevada
Missouri
Ohio
Colorado
Conneticut
Louisiana
Texas


Actual countries:

United Kingdom
Ireland
France
Spain
Germany
Austria
Italy
Belgium
Greece
Luxembourg
Israel
Syria
Turkey
Cyprus
Egypt
USA
Canada
Mexico
Brazil
Argentina
Uruguay
Hong Kong
New Zealand
Kingdom of Tonga

Yes, I'm very, very well-traveled. ._. When I was a kid my parents would take me on all these exotic holidays completely out of the blue. Since my parents split up, the only places outside of the UK or France I've visited are the three South American countries I listed, and that was to fly out and see her.

I'm still pissed at her for letting my old passport go through the fucking washing machine. I had all those amazing stamps in there....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I've hardly been anywhere, let's see...

I've been to Dublin in Ireland, the Isle of Man (all over), Anstruther and Edinburgh in Scotland, Llangollen, Llandudno, Angelsy, Rhyl, Wrexham, Holyhead, Mold in Wales, Chester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Yorkshire, the Lake District, Cambridge, Nottingham, Staffordshire, Alderly Edge (I forget where it is exactly), Birmingham, Birkenhead in England.

I've never been any further than that, and thanks to my studies I doubt I ever will >.<

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No.

I joined in December of 2005, and don't recall posting in any colors aside from the default.



Sorry.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Odd. Same exact name. Or is there a character out there with that specific spelling of the name? My experiences with the name don`t go much further than Street Fighter.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Italy
France
Switzerland
Hungary
Germany
UK
Greece
Qatar
Jordan
Cyprus
Sri Lanka

ME and SEA are in my heart. Of course Italy is richest country in the world for its worthiness of monuments and historical importance. Let alone its dominant position in the centuries.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hey, finally. Someone that actually has been to Sri Lanka.

How ya doing, buddy?

Some countries I visited too long ago to remember which cities I pass through: Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China (I remember Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu only).

Germany: Frankfurt, Berlin, Dresden, Munich, Wurzburg
Switzerland: Zurich, Lucerne, Gimmelwald
Italy: Florence, Rome, Venice, one of the Cinque Terre, Vatican City
Norway: Oslo, Bergen
France: Paris, Bordeaux, Versailles
United States: Missouri, Florida, New York (haven't actually visited NYC, just Buffalo)

These ones I just visited their capital: Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Denmark, Luxumburg, United Kingdom.

I was born and live in Canada, unfortunately, I've only visited Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hmmm.

Downunderverse
- Queensland (Used to live there, the whole state slows you down)
- New South Wales (YOU ARE HERE)
- ACT (Wow what's going on here? Not much!)
- Victoria (Yeesss Melbourne is the greatest city ever)
- South Australia (Adelaide's such a cool city, the council gives out free bread to those that live on the streets. FREE BREAD! It's like they're pigeons or something)
- Tasmania (What a lie, there's no cartoon character who spins around breaking shit here! There's just apple trees and incest lololol)

Other places, bold text
- New Zealand (Fucking beautiful place man, holy moly. Did both North and South islands, did them good. Only downside was Rotorua, ROTTEN EGG CITY 24/7)
- Fiji (On the outskirts of Suva. This was a fairly shitty holiday, we got stuck in a massive storm most of the time, sat around the resort playing Game Boy )

How ya doing, buddy?

I can't remember every place off the top of my head, but I'll name a few.

Southern California - Venice Beach was my favorite locale. LA is overrated, but still a nice city.
Northern California (I separated the two, as I do believe that they are so different, the difference should be noted.) - Went for a wedding, can't exactly remember what cities we went to.
Texas - Dallas was boring. Wish I could have gone to Houston.
London, England - Wonderful city, but the punk scene wasn't as aggressive as I was told. I remember smoking hash out of a vacuum with some gutter punks squatting in an abandoned apartment building. Big props to London for their tube system.
Wales, UK - I thought it was beautiful, but my friends said it was a waste.
Holland - Celebrated family reunion of over 40 people on my Chinese/German side. Best Heinekin ever.
Germany - Been all over. Visited the House of Jagger. Loved it.
Denmark - Copenhagen is one of my favorite cities ever, but didn't get a chance to stay for long.

That is what I could squeeze out of sheer office bordem.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

First of all, these are names you probably don't know since a lot are strange european (especially Norwegian names).
And second, I don't really remember that much of all the places I've been so I might just forget a few important city names.

Canada (lived there for a year)
