How extensive is your traveling? Which state/province was least pleasant?

States: Maine. Though once my cell told me "Welcome to the USA" because I was climbing a mountain near the Vermont-Quebec border, does that count?
Provinces: New Brunswick (born and raised), PEI, Newfoundland, Quebec (currently living), Ontario, Alberta.
Other countries: None.

Score: 1.06

Also, try telling Quebecois that they are like the Rest of Canada (RoC). Especially a sovereignist. It'd be entertaining to say the least.

Oddly enough, I have been to every Atlantic Province except Nova Scotia. I do not know how this happened.

I fly over NFL & Labrador all the time and it looks like a big, wet muddy field with no one there. Bye.

Me thinks you need to look a bit more closely if you think those two places are wet and muddy. Hint: they're both basically rock and forest.

No more off topic posts in this thread. I've got my guns ready.

Interesting cross culture thing: the black hills of south dakota look almost identical to the black forest of germany.

Source: I left the black hills and proceed to make my trip to Germany. they totally look the same. I wasnt impressed as i should have been apparently.

Also austria's mountains reminded me of the tetons in western wyoming...

I've been to Tenerife and Majorca when I was younger, I've also travelled a bit of Scotland and the UK.

Aaaand, I've been to Chiapas and Guatemala in Mexico. And I've also been to Doha and now Australia! :)

so you get 0.2 points, congrats!

She has travelled to two continents aside from her own, so that's worth a few hundred, right?

Intercontinental travel doesn't count, it says so in the first post.

Plus Doha don't count as I don't think she left OTBD.

There was an addendum later on!

Oh, OK then. I didn't catch that.

20000 for being to asia and north america.
6000 for Sweden, USA, Denmark, Japan, the Netherlands and China.
2 for having been to Louisiana and Mississippi. I'm not counting places where I didn't leave the airport.

26002 for me.

Although this scoring system is still a bit skewed. I suggest 100 points for continents, 20 for nations, 5 for states/provinces.

Shouldn't it just be mileage-based? I mean, you can drive from one end of Russia to the other, and encounter wildly different cultures, but have stayed on the same "continent" and in the same country. On the other hand, you can drive a tiny loop around Pennsylvania/New York/New Jersey/Maryland/etc and still have been in roughly the same place the whole time.

I find the distinction between Asia and Europe as separate continents to be laughably stupid. It's obviously one landmass, and any decision about where Europe starts and Asia begins is a purely arbitrary one, as Turkey and Russia demonstrate really well.
