Have Plans, Will Travel

There is this link to a website I have unashamedly nicked from someone's site. Among others, you can check your Visited Countries - just scroll down the disturbingly long list of countries and tick those countries you've visited and presto! you'll get a percentage of the dim, distant and exotic lands you've been to, along with a map showing where you have visited and other foreign soil you have yet to set foot on.

Evidently I haven't been collecting enough airmiles as I've only visited a miserable total of 31 countries or 13% of the world, and that includes a transit in Jakarta! [I can't seem to load pictures for the past few weeks so can't reproduce that map here but you can click on this link to view my 'Visited Countries' map]. So much of the world yet to see and do and discover... but rest assured, I plan to add more of that red paint over the map by June this year - three cheers for MAS for having another travel fair starting this Friday, an answer to my wanderlust indeed.

Note to self: stop visiting Down Under and fly out to other places instead [but a couple of cities in China is not enough, so need to make my way there again]. And try to switch jobs if I want to go globe trotting - but since I don't meet the criteria as an aircrew, maybe be a travel agent, or a journalist [er, but that's probably even more stressful than my current job]. Or alternatively, get someone to pay for my trips - which again is as likely as being an aircrew.

Try it out yourself http://www.world66.com and you'll be calling your travel agent, making plans to visit the MAS travel fair and MATTA fair in March, surfing the AirAsia website, and/or visiting the bureau de change [any or all of the above] in a jiffy.
