wmw999 2,446 #82 March 25, 2004 Yeah, Venezuela is ugly right now. A good friend of mine is a geologist specializing in Venezuela, so he goes there pretty regularly. They escort him, airport to airport, the whole time. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #88 March 25, 2004 Quotewhat do most people consider "well-traveled"? Interesting question.... I think that while travel is always eye opening, it is easy to go somewhere and not experience it in any depth. There used to be discussions about 'tourist' vs 'traveller'....as if one would have a deeper experience than the other. I think going anyplace and having a chance to talk to the people living in that place is a learning experience, whether it is on the other side of the world or in the town down the road. Personally, I need a frequent shaking up that I can only get by visiting a place totally different from where I live in Sarasota (mostly old white people). So anywhere with lots of young people (like the dz or a concert in Tampa!!)is a good start!!! An example, we are planning on going to India next month. I was always curious about the place, but it seemed like a big hassle to travel there. But now a friend of mine is getting married there, and we will go there to join in on the traditional Hindu wedding ceremony. So rather than just 'float' through the sights, we will spend time with his family and experience a little of their life styles. When we went to Spain and Portugal rather than just rent a car and drive around with a guide book (which we did for a month), at each town large or small, we also asked where the ceramics/pottery studios were, and visited them. We had a pottery studio at the time. So in each place, we could sit and talk about a subject in common and make friendships based on that commonality. One of my favorite life experiences happened while we were living in Japan. I did a 1000 mile hike through Japan, through mountain paths, rice fields, along beaches....and stayed in small places like the local buddhist temples. I spoke no english for 2 months, and had lots of interesting conversations with people who had never met an american, or even a 'white guy'. It helps to speak the language of a country....so I always try to learn enough to have some kind of conversation.... Countries: No America: Canada, USA, Mexico, Bahamas So.America: Brasil, Uruguay, Peru, Boliva, Paraguay, Panama Asia: Japan, HongKong/Macau, Thailand, Indonesia, Malyasia, Singapore Europe: Scotland, Greece, Spain, Portugal,Turkey next month: France and India Marc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

piisfish 140 #97 April 7, 2004 I am from Switzerland and besides my small country I have visited parts of : france italy austria germany england ireland netherlands spain czech republic hungary russia cyprus turkey morrocco tunisia south africa mauritius malaysia thailand cuba USA canada french caribbean (yeah, I know, it's france again) I'd go again in all of these countries. Some in places I already visited, some in other places of the country. The country I would have "less inclination to return" would be tunisia, due to the attitude of many people there. The country is beautiful (visited sets of Star Wars, incredible places in the desert etc), but didn't like the "tourist trap" places... next country I am returning to is south africa, and that's in 2 days time BTW there has been several threads identical to this one, but always a pleasure to answer...scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
