Alexander L 80 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 and you know of course the ho's in Macau come from all around the world. 'cept Africa, never seen a black ho there. 4 sisters Portuguese and Chinese mix each were crowned Miss Macau in turn. They're really beautiful; they'd make great croupiers.

snowdude 44 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I know what you mean. Those were the days were just a postcard would surfice. Most of my travels were done back in the 80's and 90's too. Young people today have no idea what it was like back then. No mobiles, no internet cafes, no internet, no email, no facebook.. .just a few letters to mum every month or so and often nobody knew where you were. Sometimes even I didn'know where I was Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I had a few problems sending postcards in Africa, a lot of the post offices had never heard of New Zealand. Usually I just put heaps of stamps on and hoped. Most of them made it. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think it really counts if it's a trip organised by parents. Would it make much of a difference to the numbers if we defined it as countries you personally have organised the visit to? Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 How would you define personally organised? I went on a overland trip, which I arranged though a travel agent, but I didn't personally organise my visit to each country. What about work organised? As a tour driver I visited a large amount of countries, all organised by my boss, would they count? (I actually organised all the tours one season, as part of my job, would that count?) You also get into the tricky area of spouse arranged. My wife used to work as a travel agent, therefore she usually arranges all travel when we go somewhere, could I still count the countries we visit, even though I had nothing to do with making the arrangements?

I'm just more interested in the where people choose to go themselves rather than where they were dragged along with parents at some stage in their youth. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think that only countries where one has visited and eaten a pie should count. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 well shouldn't it be, only countries where one has visited and eaten a pie that one has made?? After all who wants to know which countries you've been too where you've had to choose a pie that someone else has forced upon you.....just doesn't seem right 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Fair point indeed. Perhaps we would need to divide it into "savory" or "sweet" as well, or perhaps the type of pastry used. It might be coming slightly complicated, but the increased quality of results would surely be worth it. Link to post Share on other sites

Alexander L 80 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I reckon only those who have had a local interpretation of a doner kebab should be counted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
onehunga 26 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Given the nature of this site, maybe only countries where you have skiied/boarded should be counted, with a special sub catorgy for doing it naked :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
