How many countries have you been to?
Out of interest, how many countries have you been to, and what are they? Also, as an aside, how many UK regions and Crown Dependencies have you been to? This tool may be useful, and is what I used.
I may start a leaderbourd, if enough people are interested!

Singapore clarification: you have to have been into the country (for a reasonable length of time), but I may have done it otherwise, but what do you think of the table idea?tubeguru wrote:Why are you telling me what I already know?A Challenge wrote:Contries there are 6 (ES, GR, DE, FR, NZ, UK) and two UK regions (and crown dependancies) (EN, W)tubeguru wrote:Mine's not too difficult:

Tell me when you have been to (or are in) those countries and they will be recognized here, but Latvia doesn't count. 7 and 3 then.crypto wrote:My list goes...
I should be adding Denmark and Sweden to that in August, then The Netherlands in October.
