Wow !What did you think of the French Canadians ? I found them the rudest people I have ever met in my life .

 

Yes I've been lucky ,but some parts of the UK take some beating for Natural Beauty , Dorset where I live , has some stunning scenery .

Well since everyone's talking about their holiday destinations, I may as well add mine:

France (loadsa times), Egypt (three times), Spain (twice), Italy (twice), Belgium (twice, one was literally just a day though), Greece, Turkey (twice), Australia (twice), Singapore (once), Malawi (once), Morocco (once), Iceland (once), Israel (once), The West Bank (once), Cyprus (once), New York state (once), Ireland (once), Switzerland (once).

That includes a few school trips. Dunno which was the best though, Egypt was good, Malawi was an amazing experience, the first Turkey trip was fun, and both Iceland and Morocco were interesting, although quite hard work (geography trips).

 

I have got to see Iceland .

 

Dorset is beautiful, but the North Coast of NI is just fantastic.

 

Skegness looks nice. Saw it on C4's Skint. More chavs than you could thrust a stick at!

 

The charity I used to work for is doing a fundraising trek there. You should go.

Good luck raising £1800 in just over a month though.

Talking of which, just seen that the EDL has over 100k likes on Facebook. Wtf is wrong with people in this country?!

 

My cousin has a caravan there and he seems to like it!!! Not my choice though!!

 

I was with a couple of friends during the first week of April, and we went to Snowdonia and then the Brecon Beacons where the scenery in both places is wonderful, particularly in the spring sunshine!!!

 

Good old Reddit.

 

OK folks!! Lets see if together we have visited all the countries in the world. My contribution being Argentina, Uruguay, a tiny bit of Chile, a border town in Bolivia, Brazil (Brasilia and Rio to be precise), a change of plane in Helsinki but that shouldn't really count and Yekaterinburg in Russia!! Also Bergen in Norway, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Abisko in Northern Sweden plus the obvious places in elsewhere in Europe. Only visited North America once and that was Montreal!!

 

I dunno, I think we might be lacking in the Pacific Islands department, and also probably a fair number of African countries.

 

I once went to a dump called Port Arthur in Texas on a cargo ship for a load of guano - other than Pompey of course (only kidding Lapras!), what`s the biggest dump you`ve been in ?

 

Probably a shanty town in Marrakesh, Morroco. To be fair, Malawi wasn't that bad. Very basic, but not exactly brimming of squalor but where we were was kinda rural.

 

Interesting that there are Turkish people commenting saying that it's not the dramatic revolution that some will want you to think, most people are just using it as a chance to riot.

 

Orlando, Florida is a bit of a dump tbh.
