Based on a ridiculous conversation I heard between two English twarts last night, in which they tried to outdo each other regarding where they'd been and what they'd seen.

I'll go first.

"Well I've been to the Grand Canyon!!!"

Elijah, Freelance Rabbi

03:49 / 05.04.03

I have been to Niagra falls

Jack Denfeld

06:38 / 05.04.03

Guam, Phillipines, Ireland(airport), France(airport), Kuwait. All over the U.S.A. as it's my home.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

07:17 / 05.04.03

Moscow, Leningrad (when it was still Leningrad), France, Germany, Holland & Prague. Funnily enough I've never been to Scotland or Wales, despite them being next door.

I've been to Brigadoon.

pointless and uncalled for

07:56 / 05.04.03

I've been a Brigadoon.

pointless and uncalled for

07:58 / 05.04.03

Sorry, I confused that with Buccaneer.

that

08:03 / 05.04.03

I've been to Olympia (in Greece, dears)

I have seen only your small cousins in Scotland, Stoatie, dancing and gyrating in the garden. A full sized adult male stoat, such as yourself, might overexcite the gentle Scots.

I have also been to Wales and can confirm they were entirely stoatless for the duration of my stay. They seemed to live very quietly there, subsisting on a diet of leeks and rugby. Curiously, despite their very sexy accents, the men were uniformly unattractive.

I have never been to Ireland though, in spite of having lived with an Irishman for six years.

On the world heritage sites front, I have made a pilgrimage to the fort in Monastir, Tunisia, where they filmed most of The Life of Brian.

that

08:41 / 05.04.03

Well, the full list - France, Switzerland, Germany, been driven through Holland in the middle of the night, been to Spain, Majorca, Greece, Zakynthos, US (upper New York state), Canada (Ontario), Wales, Scotland, all over England.

10:13 / 05.04.03

Well *I've* been to Hope Cove, the place where 'The Comic Strip' filmed the wicked scene in Supergrass, where Robbie Coltrane carrys a guitarcase and strides along a jetty to 'Two Tribes go to War.'

that

10:21 / 05.04.03

I've been to the top of Ben Nevis. And run back down.

Our Lady of The Two Towers

10:24 / 05.04.03

I've been to Paradise.

Mourne Kransky

10:25 / 05.04.03

... but you've ... never been to me.

Baz Auckland

13:27 / 05.04.03

I spent 3 months in Ketchikan, the Salmon Capital of Alaska! Ha!

jeff

13:29 / 05.04.03

Yeah, well I got stranded in a fishing village on Lesvos!

17:13 / 05.04.03

I went to New York for New years. I also went to Holland for four days last month.

I think I was Spain and Portugal at some point in my childhood on boring Holidays where I was too old to take part in the kids clubs and too young to get wasted.

Tryphena Absent

17:31 / 05.04.03

I've been to Iceland... country and shop!

Laughing

18:01 / 05.04.03

I've been to Germany, Austria, and (briefly) Greenland. Stateside, I've traveled and lived all along the East Coast and along the Gulf, the highlights being New York, Boston, Orlando (The City Without A Soul), Atlanta, Mobile, and New Orleans.

But I've never been to the Grand Canyon.

Olulabelle

18:10 / 05.04.03

I've been to Redang, Malaysia (go there, go there it's wonderful) America, (New York and Florida) Australia, Mexico, all round Europe and during a recent visit to a travel agent looking for a flight to the Far East, I was offered one which stopped overnight in Jordan, (if you don't know where Jordan is, you should have paid attention in Geopgraphy) for only 30 quid less than normal. Which, needless to say, I politely declined.

*whispers* Anna, shhhh about the shop.

Elijah, Freelance Rabbi

18:11 / 05.04.03

i went to the Mall yesterday...

Tryphena Absent

18:14 / 05.04.03

OK, seriously now... Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, France, Spain, Portugal, Iceland, Greece, Italy, a service station in Germany, New York.

Definitely not enough places on that list... in the next few years I really want to add Poland (Warsaw is a definite), Berlin, New Orleans, Prague and Hong Kong on to it.

Shrug

19:20 / 05.04.03

Hmmm I've been to Devon it was lovely.

w1rebaby

19:50 / 05.04.03

Well, I've been to the Grand Canyon.

I have, actually, I was there a few weeks ago.

Baz Auckland

03:50 / 06.04.03

I've never been to the Grand Canyon, but I've been to...

El Barranca Del Cobre (Copper Canyon) which covers 4 times the area of the 'grand' and is only accessable by a train which veers along cliff edges through 78 tunnels and 94 bridges and took 100 years to build and when you look down into the canyon from the train you see the wreckage of other, less fortunate trains who failed to make the trip! AND when you get off the train in the canyon, most of the people don't speak Spanish, but Tarahumaran, and they do fun peyote rituals and go on 500 mile marathons...

...which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.

Baz Auckland

03:52 / 06.04.03

Oh yeah. Forgot to add it's in México.

Solitaire Rose as Tom Servo

04:02 / 06.04.03

I went outside. But not for very long, and I ran quickly back inside. There were teenagers out there, and they scared me with their saggy pants and loud voices.

Mazarine

04:02 / 06.04.03

Yeah, well... I've been to Iowa. And Louisiana. So... yeah.

Oh screw you all. With your trains and your nearby accessable other cultures.

Lilly Nowhere Late

The Return Of Rothkoid

05:12 / 06.04.03

Well, none of you fucks have been to Oberon. Beat that.

Mourne Kransky

05:58 / 06.04.03

Have never been to Oberon but I've met the Queen of the Fairies.

And I have an album by Japan.

The Return Of Rothkoid

07:34 / 06.04.03

Well, I have three by Spain...

Lionheart

08:07 / 06.04.03

Let's see... I've been to New York (live there); to New Jersey; to Pennsylvania; to Ohio (for a couple of hours); to Indiana; to Chicago, Illinois; to Canada (keep forgetting which parts and cities); to Florida; to Connecticut (for a few hours); To Tucson, Arizona; to *ahem* the Grand Canyon; to different parts of Florida; to Los Angeles; to Las Vegas; made bus stops in most of the Eastern seaboard states and I think that's about it for the United States (and Canada). I've also been in Rio De Janeiro(sp?), Brazil; to Moscow, Russia (where I was born and lived till the age of 8); to other places in the former U.S.S.R. (though I never was in Leningrad..uh...St. Petersburg..uh..whichever); I was also in a couple of places in the Czech Republic; Bohemia; Vienna, Austria (and some other places outside of Vienna); Budapest, Hungary; Baku, Azerbaijan... and I think that's about it.

Oh, and I was at the Hoover Dam so there!

Lionheart

08:09 / 06.04.03

Oh, yeah, and Baltimore (and some other place in Maryland; and Washington D.C.

08:11 / 06.04.03

Btw, my dad works with some company that does, I believe, stage design. He filled up two passports already with foreign visas. All that on the company's dime. So what I'm saying is that if you want to travel then one could take a job that sends you to places.
