Re: How Many Countries Have You Been To?
Greece (Crete to be specific)
That's where my dad was born. :)

Anyway, I've never been out of the US, hell, I've only been to about four states. My dad was supposed to take me to Greece a while back but then he lost his job and the Greek riots started happening.

Re: How Many Countries Have You Been To?
Thinking back, I've been to quite a few, but most of them were when I was much younger, to the extent that I barely remember them save for from family video clips. Much less mobile now.

Blighty (lived and studied here for most of me life)
South Korea (lived here for 4 years)
Singapore (family lives here, I still go back occasionally)
New Zealand
Australia
Hong Kong, SAR
Vietnam (when I was very young)
Spain (Barcelona, again when I was really young)
Malaysia (did an internship here last year)
Indonesia
France (Paris, Nice (which wasn't), numerous skiing resorts)
Switzerland (relatively recently, actually)
Los Estados Unidos (Cali. Weirdly, I actually thought I'd never set foot in this country, but it turns out I had, when I was really little)
Canada

oh, and Iceland too, for 4 days of an ill-fated school trip

Yeah; unfortunately, we don't have the option on hopping on a train and cruising through several countries.  In fact, even our own national rail service is woefully inadequate. :p

Depending on the country, travelling by rail in Europe isn't that fun either.

Re: How Many Countries Have You Been To?
Japan (birthplace)
U.S.
Canada (used to be able to see it from my front porch)
Canary Islands (does this count?)
Mexico (hardly even counts, considering how little time I've spent in it).

I have been to 30 or states (in the U.S., obviously), and most of them are as far apart or further apart than most countries in Europe, so I was tempted to count them, but ultimately had to click 1-5.

Re: How Many Countries Have You Been To?
We're doing lists now too. OK:

Vietnam
Singapore (briefly - airport to the raffles for a Singapore Sling then more or less straight back on the plane)
And, of course, Australia. Should be noted though, I can, and frequently do, travel over a thousand kms in any direction from where I am now and still be in the same state, let alone changing nations (well, maybe not into the ocean).

Revisit this thread in 6 months though, and it'll be a different story. Tickets booked for a couple of nights in Malaysia and about 6 weeks in the US, then popping across to Europe via Iceland. Hoping to do some work.in Canada as well before I  come home, six months or so to fund further travels.

Re: How Many Countries Have You Been To?
Well, the only country I've really travelled to is the UK (England, specifically, since I have a lot of family there) multiple times (five, at the moment). Although since I live in Australia, I've been to quite a few places along the way:
Singapore (with Singapore Airlines, and I think when we went with KLM, too);
Brunei and UAE (with Royal Brunei - Dubai airport (on the way) looked great, but Abu Dhabi (on the way back) was terrible);
Japan (with JAL - we had to stay the night on the way to London, so it's the only other country I've been in where I haven't just stayed in the airport);
The Netherlands (with KLM);
Hong Kong (with Cathay Pacifc).

It's not that it 'isn't much fun' in the US so much as it is there's almost no passenger trains being used anymore. I, for one, see many freight trains where I live. But I have never seen a passenger train that wasn't on display in some sort of museum in real life before. You'd generally be hard pressed to find a passenger train in the US, which means you have to go to places via plane or car, both which are not always ideal for separate reasons.
