I don't think I've ever walked in a foriegn country at midnight. Or foreign either. Yes, I appreciate the irony of me making a joke about a typing error made by someone else when I make them so often, but I intend to enjoy this moment. I doubt it'll come again.
I'd also like to add that I was listening to the Indiana Jones theme music when I clicked that link and so your journey seemed very impressive.
smurfing is and es.
I am glad you found it impressive. It tore wholes in the toes of my socks.
I never have, but when I went to Italy with my parents, they went out to have an evening date, and the buses stopped running at night, so they were stuck at night trying to find a taxi in a bad part of Bologna with gypsy thieves and stuff. I remember sitting on my grandma's neighbor's floor wondering where my parents were, while the neighbors (and old couple) tried to cheer me up in Italian and their very limited English, and toy Ferrari cars and banners and such, because car racing is very popular in Italy and kids their love it.
We walked alot in Tenerife or was it Gran Canaria... :mog:. I don't knwo about foreign, I haven't been to many foreign places. I walked about 6 - 7 miles in Scotland though. It was also close to midnight. :)
Oh there have been plenty of times. Whenever I go on holiday with family, as we're British and all, we'd go in British bars playing extremely loud British music and with a British comedian saying the same set of British jokes every night. (When people walked past they'd be all 'Oh, this looks like a German!? - Oh! Oh!' or if someone with a mullet hairstyle walked past they'd just slate them :jess:)
Anyway, we'd end up staying late every night as my parents would get really drunk. So we're walking back really far to go home (My parents always have to go in secluded apartments, ugh) through loads of short cuts across fields we've found, with my Mum hardly able to stand, singing at the top of her voice. This is usually around midnight or even later :p
We're so British on holiday!
The only time I've ever been out of the US was on a ferry that went up to the Canadian shore of Lake Erie, then went back to port. And it was midday. I didn't walk much :(
It's amazing that you managed to walk that far in just one minute. :O

From work to home at 12:43 AM
However long the Cancun airport is.
You live in a cemetery? Creepy.
EDIT: @AK
EDIT2: I've never left Canada. Why would I? It's perfect here. Except the weather, but places with nice weather tend to have other nasty things to deal with.
I'll tell you in about 4-5 days :bigsmile:
20k, at least. I can't remember if the other time I'm thinking of was farther or shorter than that.
Thats the university outskirts -_-'Quote:

Uh, like... ten feet to the bathroom.
About 10 miles in Madrid. There are these processions throughout holy week, and my tour group had to weave around the city to get back to our hotel. It was a nice walk. I would bring up a map, but I don't remember the exact path that we took, only that we did end up going in a big circle. Twice.
Hardcore :eek:Quote:

The funny part of the story was when I was walking back to the hotel a hooker walked by and started talking to me in spanish. I knew it was a hooker cuz it was hella cold and she was wearing literallly nothing. it was delightfully random.
Yeah, backpedal now, you grave robberQuote:

I've never been in a foreign country at midnight, unless wales counts, and then I was asleep every night at midnight anyway.
I've several times walked the streets of both Paris and Berlin at night while being drunk. I wasn't alone, though.. I had equally drunk friends with me :)
Also, there have been other times and other places where alcohol wasn't in the mix.
well, the midnight hour, roto xD it took like half an hour.
The air conditioner in my hotel in Cuba broke down one night so I went down like three flights of stairs for a drink. Then I had to walk back up those stairs. It was a pretty decent walk for well after midnight.
Google Maps
:p
Apparently I went the wrong way! I was all "oh smurf" when I saw the Colosseum.
Oh man, it's way too easy to get lost in Rome while you're walking.
I like how the lines make it seem like you pretty much disregarded the roads totally and walked over buildings and stuff. And then in the middle you jumped a little bit of the way. :)Quote:

You silly! You're forgetting the time we walked from Piste to Chichen Itza (Mexico) in the DARK! It was a mile long walk and we didn't even know where we were going. Wandering around the side of a road like bumbling tourists just waiting to be attacked or kidnapped. xDQuote:
