Only 5.... I can narrow it down to 6

- Australlia
- New Zealand
- Canada
- Madagascar
- US (Yellowstone National Park to be specific)
- Kenya

My sister lives there and I was there this weekend, it's actually very nice...... although it's not a country

Austria
Wales
Turkey
Italy
Israel

Japan
Italy
Norway
Russia
Croatia

I want to change my vote for England to the UK, I didn't realize it counted as 1 country.

I think that depends on whether or not you want to visit the whole thing or not.

Well 2 out of three, but I'll take the package deal. Ireland does nothing for me.

Netherlands - mainly because I've promised to visit a few people there and I've kept them waiting for way too long.

Ireland

US - Alaska, specifically.

Iceland

Japan

Four, oh poor Wales.

Ireland doesn't want you.




We will take the lady in your avatar however.

US (already been there but I'd like to see more of California. Also, it would be fun to visit Sitka, in Alaska)

Italy (again, already been there but I want to see Florence again, maybe Venice too)

New Zealand

Argentina (I've been to Buenos Aires and Iguazu already but I'd like to visit Patagonia)

Germany (especially Bavaria)

Monaco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!

Yes please!

Oops.


Nope she's with me.

My 5 destinations
- Japan: for the culture.
- Ireland: I got some Irish in my mutt identity and because EvilFish1 happens to be the local welcoming party apparently.
- Australia: I kind of heard coastal Australia is like Los Angeles here in California, but I still want to see the sights.
- Puerto Rico: It looks nice from what I've seen.
- Israel: Bethlehem specifically.




Yes! Bavaria! Where our trees are made of wood!

For all of you wanting to visit Australia, I strongly recommend wearing a wide-brim hat with barbed wire on top to keep the Drop Bears off.

Also:
Britain
Germany
U.S.A
Canada
Ireland

Right, I didn't really read the thread but I get the feeling that everyone here is either going to Japan or to Ireland to get free beer courtesy of Evilfish

Ooh, free beer? Have I ever told anyone how much I love Ireland, it is definitely at the top of my list.

-Djibouti
-Kiribati
-Kyrgystan
-Eritria
-Burundi

Because Japan is awesome. Evilfish is, too, I guess? I don't know, yet.

Why?
How do we protect ourselves from the Molesting Spider and the Buggary Tree?

You only get free beer if your avatar comes too.


S'ok, you're new here.

He also promises to pay for flights when drunk enough and when certain conditions are met. I think we should all go to Ireland!

My alternative list of countries is: Scotland, Wales, England, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland .

Might like to add Norway to your list; it has loads of relatively untouched wilderness.

A while back I was talking to an American migrant, who spent some time here in his youth before moving later in life. One of his tales from when he was young and stupid was seeing a http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/files/imagecache/news/files/20070509_wallaby.jpg curled up for a snooze. He did what anyone would do and started dragging it out of the spot it was in so he could get a better look. The Aussies he was with were telling him it was a bad idea... and got plenty of laughs when he noticed the claws and the wallaby woke up (they can move at over 30km/h [over 19mi/h], BTW ).

I'd argue with you about that, but there's so much a tourist has to do to keep safe from 'em that it'd take up a whole thread.



More seriously: For those of you eyeing Australia, be aware that Alaska is the only thing stopping it from being bigger than the continental USA. And we've got less than a tenth of the population, though that's besides my point. We have a wide rand of environment; from rainforests -both wet and dry- to deserts, to scrublands, to plains, to mountains... in the north you'll find people growing sugar cane, bananas, mangoes, and more, while where I grew up in Victoria it's mainly oats, wheat, and sheep. So if you do visit, try not to get stuck in Sydney, 'cause there's a hell of a lot more to see that's far more unique than yet another city .

Oh, and if you're a beer drinker, avoid the following brews:

Fosters: You may actually have trouble finding it, though, 'cause Australians don't basically drink it.
VB (Victoria Bitter): It has alcohol in it, and... uh, I can't think of any more redeeming qualities. Oh, it's generally rated better than Fosters.
Carlton draught: A little better than VB. Glowing recommendation, eh?
Tooheys: I actually don't know much about it 'cause it's more of a NSW thing, but I feel confident in assuming it's no better than Victoria's massive commercial beers.
XXXX: Same as above.

As with almost any country, microbreweries are the way to go.

You don't need to, we're all coming round to your place! You suggested it one of those various times that your keyboard had "broken" and you were typing incoherently. Possibly.
