I'm culturally deprived. I've spent 1 day outside the U.S. and that was in Mexico.

I'm afraid to admit that I cannot improve on that very much (Frown)

England (Naturally as that is my Nationality)
South Wales (I remember going, but such was the hospitality I don't clearly remember coming back again. Hic!)
Northern Ireland (on active service during the 70s and 80s)
Germany (BAOR)
Belgium (Well if you include driving through Belgium to and fro on Leave)
Holland (Lad's outing to Amsterdam-Please don't ask for details as ithis may prove slightly embarrassing)
Cyprus (On Exercise-This was pre 1973 before the island became divided)
Berlin (Before unification-Included a visit to the Russian sector)

Ok. So it is not a very long list, but al least I didn't have the embarressment of having to include the USA (Grin) :(


PS. And we won't mention taking a wrong turn and ending up in the Irish Republic by accident, before turning around and beating a hasty retreat back across the border before anyone realised we were there.

got a question for you Hobilar. Aren't England, Wales, and Northern Ireland all the UK? Wouldn't that be like me counting Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama?

By the way, just the U.S. for me too.
I detest life-insurance agents; they always argue that I shall some day die, which is not so.

First of all, does Perry County, PA, count as a country??? If not, just Canada then.
