I just found this
old post by Norm about a pretty cool idea:
"Some of my friends engage in a friendly contest: they compete to see who can visit the most countries. It’s a life-long game. One of the sub-goals is to always have visited more countries than you are years old."
If I am not missing any (not quite in exactly the right order, I fear):
- Switzerland
- France
- Italy and Vatican
- Germany
- Spain
- Belgium
- Poland
- Austria
- Czech Republic / ex-Czechoslovakia
- Hungary
- Turkey
- Egypt
- Cyprus
- USA
- Canada
- Kenya
- Tanzania
- Peru
- Morocco
- UK (England and Scotland)
- The Netherlands
- China and Tibet
- Taiwan
Here are a few candidates for the next ones:
- Mexico
- Japan
- Greece
- India
- Nepal
- South Africa
- Congo
- Brazil
There are currently 193
countries (well, "states"), 194 if you count Taiwan (and really it should be counted). This means I have 171 countries to go to be done (countries popping up or disappearing notwistanding), and starting exactly today, I have 12 to go to catch up ;-)
