Which countries in the world would you really like to visit?
for me it would be chile or peru
or china or vietnam or japan
everyone seems to go to australia but i'm not too bothered about visiting there..
Also, which countries have to been to?
I've been to
Greece- Food didn't live up to expectations, nice dark girls mmm. A bit of a shithole in some places
Ireland- I visited dublin and at the time wasn't too impressed. I was more impressed that I stayed in a swanky castle style hotel and clocked up room service cos we weren't paying! however I think if I went now, now i'm older i'd really like it. I want to explore more
Italy- I have only really seen the mountains, but its a pretty cool place and I found the locals to be nice.
america- I dunno, I went to New York and thought that was great but went to SF and thought that was absolutely brilliant for completely different reasons...yosemite national park is amazing
turkey-when I went I was 9, and thought it was a shithole that gave you the shits with everything you ate and was full of blind people trying to steal your money. I think now i'm a bit more cultured and older (!?!?) i'd like it more and would like to explore its archaeological remains
germany- because I was shit at german for my exams by parents packed me off on a plane to stay with one of my father work colleagues families. I can't believe they moan about english weather, it rained nearly ever day I was there! however, I did see the two most beautiful girls i've ever seen in my life who were twins...mmmm
france- I've been to france loads of times and remember it quite nostalgically from my childhood....those beautiful chataeus, good food, lovely scenery. I like the south near St Tropez (we used to get Gites) but I prefer hte Loire I think
belgium-hmm, well what can I say...a LOT of muddy flat fields that go on...and on..quite industrial and weather always been miserable when i've been. Good chocolate though and the pissing boy statue in brussels rules

I remember as a kid I saw that on timmy mallets show and HAD to see it!
switzerland- woah, the entrance to switzerland through all those winding roads and sheer valleys is excellent! i'd love to explore it more than I did.
spain-didn't reckon much to the area we stayed in on the coast, but if you look you can find some GREAt places to eat, I love paella. I ate in a place in st Sebastian that gave me the best meal of my life, just a platter of beef that was bloody with plenty of cider from casks to wash it down..barcelona is cool if a bit touristy, but that's expected and that house of Gaudi's is truly mad!
hungary-I visited budapest a few years ago and although spending quite a bit of time in the hotel room, I did go off on my own and explore the city. first of all I thought it was very ex-commie (ie falling to pieces) but by the end thought it was wonderful, with really beautiful buildings...it is my aim to get an apartment there in the future
andorra-this tiny tax free place in the middle of the mountains is really weird, when I went it was pissing it down so we didn't stay long, lots of tobacco plantations..
austria-hmm, not really scene anything, only driven through
and that conludes my brief facto-rant. please, contributions!

well, I would love to go to Australia, and tour Europe...
I haven't been out of North America, but I've been all over North America quite a bit... I've been to Florida four times, Disney World each time!!! Well, I drove to Florida one time so I've been through each state along the eastern seaboard... I've been to Chicago, Milwaukee, I went to Maine for a little trip one time... I've been to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax and in each province from Newfoundland to Ontario... that's about it for me...

I visited a friend in Iceland when I was 11 or so and that country was so magnificent so I want to go back.
I would also like to go back to New York City because I haven't been there in a very long time.

I would like to visit::
Egypt::The pyramids man!!! I love the ancient Egyptian culture , fashinating stuff.
Iceland::Great nature and great nightlife (ive heard) Im very curious about that country , its part of scandinavia but very anonymous.
My dad was there a couple of weeks ago and he loved it , he bought beautiful handmade clothes there.
Italy::Rom::The food the art the culture!!!! I have to see Michelangelos famous roof painting before i die!!
London::The clubbs!!!
I have been to:: Mallorca , Cyprus, Turkey , Denmark , Finnland. The only place i didn't like was Turkey!!! Small portions of food at the resturants , annoying people trying to hussle you all the time.
Cyprus was crazy. I was in Aya Napa , britts everywhere!!!! UK Garage everywhere!! even on the beach daytime , with MC's and all.
Great clubs , often me and my mates where the only white people at the clubbs , it was all black brittish people.
One club "Insomnia" opened 04:00 and was open til whenever , everybody gathered there at the end.
Another place "Reagy Bar"was a set of pools with three bars , drunk people bathing with their clothes on and even having sex in the water.Quite disscusting but when your fucked up you don't care =)

Funkmaster: But never to British Columbia? :( *sniff sniff*
I've been to
Alberta: very nice prarie land. very flat. lots of farms and oil rigs pumping up oil from the groud. i was there visiting family (as you may have known from this year) and one said theres like a thousand or so rigs scattered all across alberta.
Saskatchewan: I don't remember too much of it. it was a long time ago and we were there for a short trip to attend a funeral. then we went back.
Washington: too long ago and i can't remember.
Oregon: way long ago and remember nothing.
Id actually like to tour canada and make it all the way to Newfoundland or New Brunswick. Thats if i can physically and mentally make it past Manitoba after a week of prarie driving lol. Oh boy...
once you hit ontario it should all be good.
LOVE to visit europe and see where my fav artists live too!

Its not always cold , we have summers here to . In Sweden Norway and Finnland theres a big differense in weather depending on how far north you are.
In sweden for example we have reindeers and a people that resembles the Eskimos up in the north but in the south we have beaches and a warmer climat (not very warm compared to other warm European countries though)
Nature in scandinavia is great , but the best nature in my opinion is in Norway.
The nature there is breath taking Many movies are recorded there because of that (snow scenes in starwars for example)
No norwegians don't drink everyday haha!! But us scandinavians drink very much when we drink , it has always been that way , its a viking thing haha!! .
The Finnish people drink the most!!! I remember drinking and playing cards with two finnish guys a couple of years ago , they drank ful beer glasses of vodka straight up all night !!! Insane!!!!

Yes its very tuff to drive in north sweden, i hope you are a good driver =)
Watch out for the Elks that can run over the roads all of the sudden , many people have died that way.
Hitting a big elk turns your car to shit!! We have "Elk Warning" road signs here (an Elk siluet) and german people come here and steal them haha!!
They are obsessed of elks , they even buy jars ful of elk shit hahaha!!

All the best dj's and electronica artists make it a top priority to tour/do gigs in Japan, which is really cool, since Tokyo is one of the clubbing capitals of the world.
Also one of my favourite dj's ever came from Japan itself. . . his name is Satoshi Tomiie, and now as a dj and a producer he's worldfamous!
