Sadly, not very uncommon in the third world. Oh I've been to Mexico too, so we can cross that off the list. lol jk that's been done already

Toinho Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Haven’t checked but hopefully I can add one or two? Not sure how to do go down without leaving spaces on my phone so apologies... England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, N Ireland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Netherlands, Egypt, India, China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, USA(Hawaii). Assuming we are not including Hong Kong and Macau?
Harry Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Slovenia, Croatia, Fiji. Given that Greenland is land of denmark wouldn't it make sense to shade it?
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted April 18, 2020 Subscriber Posted April 18, 2020 I've been to Singapore but I don't know if that will qualify as it's an island city-state off southern Malaysia?
Mpache Posted April 18, 2020 Author Posted April 18, 2020 Singapore is a country recognized by the UN. Macau and Hong Kong aren't. Just to clear up some doubts.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 18, 2020 Subscriber Posted April 18, 2020 Ooh I have done Norway as well. Bagged all of Scandinavia on a Baltic cruise as well as Russia and Estonia (which I can't believe I was beaten to @nudge).

I figured to have it seperate. I won't count it to the total tally though, but it's different enough for me to not shade it. I'm a bit nitpicky
Rucksackfranzose Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 From the countries not mentioned yet I can add Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Namibia, and Chinese Taipeh.
ASF Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 I was born in Honduras. Only lived there until I was four months old. Does it count?

I oversaw you mentioned San Marino, I apologize. Taiwan is a country, official name is Republic of China opposed to People's Republic of China. As for Namibia I've never been to the Southern hemisphere, a desert or Africa before and decided to tick all three points from my bucket list directly in one cycle, and Namibia was the first country that came to my mind when I thought about how to do it.
DeadLinesman Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 I’ve been to Israel and Palestine. Not sure if they’re on the list yet.
Mpache Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 The goal surely has to be to reach 100/193.

Toinho is right, Taiwan isn't recognized by the UN. I still shaded them because they are in a similar light to Greenland, but I didn't include them in the tally. When we reach 100, I'll put a list of all the countries so far including these territories.
