C’est juste moi ou le capitaine de l’équipe de rugby de Géorgie parle français avé l’assent Tôlôsaing ?

These maps are usually not really true, since they color a whole country even if one’s visited only a tiny bit thereof — and the contrary goes for very small countries: find Singapore on that map… At any rate this map can be broken down as:

• USA [NYC, Honolulu, SF Bay Area]
• South Africa [Johanesburg]
• Morocco [Marrakech, Casablanca]
• Spain [Seo de Urgel, Reus & Priorat, Valladolid & Toro]
• Andorra
• France [lots of places!]
• Belgium [ditto]
• Luxembourg [duh]
• Switzerland [no cities, mostly crossing that country to go elsewhere]
• Italy [lots of places, most visited: Napoli & Roma]
• Holland [Amsterdam, Lisse]
• Germany [Köln, Bonn, Dortmund, Soest, Berlin, Hamburg, München & Bavaria]
• East-Germany, way back when [Ost-Berlin]
• Austria
• Hungary [Budapest mostly]
• Romania [Bucuresti, Constanta, some place on the Black Sea]
• UK [London, Hong Kong back when it belonged to the UK]
• Poland [Warsaw]
• Czech Republic [Prag]
• Finland [Helsinki, Turku, Laantali]
• Greece [Athens]
• Korea [many many places]
• Japan [Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, some other places in Kansai]
• China [Beijing, Shanghai, Canton, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Macao, Hong Kong]
• Taiwan [Taipei, Tainan]
• Indonesia [Jakarta]
• Malaysia [Kuala Lumpur]
• Singapore [duh]
• Thailand [Bangkok]
• Viêtnam [Saigon]

I think that’s about it. What’s not reflected in that list is the frequency — I know Napoli much much better than Warsaw or Jakarta, for instance. And there’s a much higher probability for me to visit again Tainan — October 15 I think — than Turku. As for additions to this list I can foresee Kaohsiung [Taiwan], Hanoi [Viêtnam], Phuket [Thailand], Malé [Maldives], Port Louis [Mauritius], Colombo [Sri Lanka], Manila [.ph], New Delhi [India, not really enthusiastic about that one], and Victoria [Seychelles].

Sadly enough, I get very little time to do tourism, and most of my time while “visiting” these places these days is spent in offices or hotels…
