First country I've visited was Thailand. It's fun, my friends and I had so much fun. Was able to visit ancient temples in Thailand.I was not expecting that I will enjoy visiting those ancient temples, surprisingly I actually did.

It is nice to see other countries too.. It is good to see other cultures and their habits... comparing your own culture with them. The first country i visited is the country i worked for 4 years... the second is for leisure but then the most experience i wont forget on this second country was having a swollen feet. It was in Bangkok.. as usual you go there for shopping...almost the whole day we just tour around the market that made my feet swollen...and you know what? a pair slipper is the only thing i was able to buy from that shopping.... a nice experience....It was good that after Bankok we went to Cambodia... where I ate a good noddles cooked differently....and do my shopping my kids.

I had been to Dubai. I loved the place. All places has air conditioner, even the waiting shed. I love to go there when it's winter. But the cost of living is quite expensive. The cheapest hotel you can get there is around $200 per night, which is 3 star hotel. I also want to go to South Korea! :)

Paris, France. I was not there for long, but enjoyed the scenes and people. All the people I ran into, probably because I was very jovial, warmed up to me. I had a good time with the natives, and the people in my Hotel were extra friendly and they pampered me.

I'm here in the States and I went to Montreal Canada.This is in the French part Canada.It was like New York with a French Accent. The only thing that reminded you that is was Montreal was that every sign was in both English and French. It was a good trip. I hope you get to Korea Real soon! Take Care.

My home country is England and as a child my family liked to pop across to France. We traveled there by train and ferry which I found exciting. When I was 14 years old my mom and I flew to Athens in Greece. It was very hot weather whilst we were there. It was so lovely to spend time relaxing on a Greek Island then go sightseeing in Athens. I saved up money from my paper round to go on that trip. I traveled to the Netherlands with a friend when I was 17 years old. I did my first trip alone at 18 years old traveling around Europe by train. My first tastes of outside Europe were Tunisia in North Africa and St Lucia in the Caribbean at 19 years old. Then at age 20 I left on my trip around the world. I hope that you will be able to visit Korea one day soon. Good luck.

I've never been outside of the united states, but living in South Carolina was very much like another country to me..no..make that another planet.
If I do ever happen to wander over the border, the first place I'm visiting is Ireland. I figure that everyone should visit the home of their ancestors at least once.

The place I visited was Perth in Australia. It was during autumn and it was really cold (-10 degrees, if I remember correctly). But despite the freezing cold, I loved the entire trip. It was an 8-day trip, during which my friend and I got to experience what farm stay was like. We also stayed in a motel and a hotel. We visited several places during the entire trip, and that was why we got to stay overnight in a few places. I loved Perth and so I will definitely be going back there again.:)

The first country I visited was Belgium. I lived not that far from the border, so by car it took say ten minutes. Antwerp was the first city I visited, and I always loved it, with it's busy shopping streets, jewish and chinese quarters, the big cathedral and the old market place with the ancient merchant houses. A good place to stroll around for shopping, and have a drink and nice food in one of the many restaurants in the centre. But you could find me quite often at the Belgian coast, where there are also nice places to stay, like Oostende, Knokke en Blankenberge. And one topper I must not forget, the capital Brussels, the big marketplace there, the museums and last but not least Manneken Pis.
