In reference to my other post: "Where do you WANT to go", just thought I'd ask; Where have you already been in the world?

Here, been there, didn't like it so came back here again. Travel is over-rated.

Hi

Worked in UK, Belgium and Aus. In addition visited France, Andorra, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, Southern Ireland, South Africa and Botswana.

If desperate you can add the airport transit lounges in Bangkok, Singapore and Lusaka (Zambia).

All the best

Too many to list, mostly through work.

Least place I want to return to is anywhere in Belgium. The most depressing, grey, boring country in the world.

From memory, have been to Antwerp, Mons & Brussels. And others via bike. Been to Belgium about 15 times this year. I'm in Brussels tomorrow again infact. I just find the place extremely depressing. A bit like Scotland in all honesty but at least Scotland has decent countryside. Laughing

P.S Only been there once at the weekend.

Reason I asked about Brussels is that next to nobody lives there at the weekend. It becomes a ghost town.

I know what you mean about it being a bit grey and dull looking (go further south for it not to be so flat), but they do hide things away rather more. For example the area I stayed in for a while had several fairly large bars hidden on pretty quiet streets where you wouldn't see them unless looking for them.

All the best

Keith

Adding Egypt to the list next year, and hopefully Mexico after that.
