Trip

So... What do you think of talking here about our differents travels, which countries we love, and why?
Speak English suppose an international way to think... If you never had the chance to travel a lot, don't hesitate to tell us which country you'd prefer visit as soon as possible. (I don't know if my sentence is correct ahem please Lahaarl don't kick me lol)

So... my experience? As my father worked in tourism so many years, I've had the chance to travel a lot since I was a child...
I've gone to:
- Morocco. 3 times I think.. but I don't really like this country... I don't really know why but I'm not feel good over there. However, gastronomy is really really good
- Tunisia: almost the same feeling than Morocco.
- Ireland, 3 times: People very very sympathetic, many sorts of beers héhé, lots of young people from many different countries. Very beautyfull landscapes... December's lighting is special... From dawn's light to sunset's light, directly, without a real daylight... Great for photography ^^
- Quebec: very funny trip, I felt very good there because of the soul of the country... It's very important for me. And people were adorable! Very very good gastronomy MIAM
- United States: East Coast, for New York to Philadelphia. Interesting, but I don't feel the soul of the country... No ancient civilization, except The Indians but we don't see it in american current way of life... Gastronomy was very bad. I was very disappointed... But I'd want to go there another time, one day, to visit Texas.. all the southe, and the middle too. I think I will prefer, with the big spaces and nature...
- Mexico 2 times: yeeaaaaaaaaaah !! my favorite country ! I love all there. Gadstronomy, people, landscape, civilization, history, art, way of life (so cool minded...)... One day, when I'll win at Euromillions, I will build my sweet home near Oaxaca or San Cristobàl ^^
- China: Impressing... Temples, arts, craft industry... all that was fabulous ! People... ahem they don't like us and we can see it lol, except my little sister, they always wanted to take photo with her because she's white with very blue eyes and they don't know this... lol
Many many people, a way of life very special, gastronomy.. ugh, it's so far from our asian restaurants in Paris ! Vegetables, soups, rice... I didn't like to eat there and lost 5 kg in 10 days ! lol
- Cambodia: people were adorable, they love french people and old guys often speak french. Gastronomy was very good, temples are impressiing, really.. and so beautifull... Great soul too ^^
- Malaysia: only few days in Kuala Lumpur and on Langkawi Island... Sympathetic, no more. Food was very spicy... ugh
- Norway: only 3 days but marvellous stay ^^. Fjords are fabulous, people were cold at first sight, but welcoming. Way of life very interesting. I really want to come back there another time and visit all the country until Barrents Sea ^^

I think it's OK... if I realize I've forgotten one, I'd post one more time

Good idea Miaka ^^

Sorry for the grammar and other, but I'm bad in english ^^;

Great Naka ! Thanks for your participation ^^

So you've already gone to Japan.... You have a lot of chance !!
You talk about Greece... Well I've forgotten it ! God...
Well i've visited Greece too... "Péloponèse" and one island, ugh I don't remember the exact name... Tinos? Yes it's Tinos ^^. Greece is a veru beautifull country, a lot of history, and the country of Seiyaaaaaa !! Yeah
Tinos is a sweet island... with desert and white small villages, so prettyyy, so calm.... aaaah... Great holidays there !

For my part, I've been to :

- Vietnam : three times. Great experience, I've met some of my family who are still there.

- USA ( New York : once; San Francisco / Santa Clara / San José : twice; Hollywood / Los Angeles : once ) : I'll definitely come back !

- Tortoreto Lido (Italy) and Roma : once for a one week... Not long enough to discover everything !

- London : once for a week-end !

- Peñiscola (Spain) : once and nice memories !

Thanks to my parents (who can't stand staying in the same place during their holidays), I've traveled a lot, mostly in Europe :

Norway > On one hand, the country is full of legends, mainly talking about trolls (near the roads, you can see piles of stones which are said to be trolls who didn't pay attention to the rise of the sun and transform into this), on the other hand, this country is very clean, like a Disneyland parc ^^; : the famous scandinavian way of life.

Denmark, Copenhagen > the only things I remember from this are the Little Mermaid (well... very very little mermaid actually) and an awesome amusement park.

Belgium - Holland- Luxemburg

Spain

Portugal

USA > California+Las Vegas : Like Naka, I loved San Fransisco city. I wouldn't mind living there . All seems to be bigger in the USA but there were less big building than what I thought (according to what the TV shows) . The Landscapes near the Grand Canyon (and the Grand Canyon itself) are simply marvelous.

Ireland > I went there with my family once and twice with my class. Irish people are very welcoming. The only thing I can't stand there is to drink Guiness...

United Kingdom = England/Wales/Scotland > I didn't see Nessie

Italy > Every time we had the occasion, we would taste italian ice creams and coffees (Don't go on a diet BEFORE going to Italy, it would be no use). My strongest souvenir of this country is the visit of Pompei. It was 7.00 pm, sunset so the light was beautiful, and there were few visitors : It was as if the city was all mine!

Austria

Germany > Munich > The House of beer ^^ No comment

Croatia

Czech Republic

That's all with my parents.

I've also been to
Turkey (the country, not the animal, hahaha ), Egypt, Russia (Moscou and St Petersburg) and Lousinia with my parents+my grandparents+my uncle and is family which makes eleven persons from the same family traveling together. This makes great souvenirs and lots of anecdotes when we meet.

Oh thanks Ami, I forgot Turquey ^^; But it was only one week and the wether was very hot ...

You're welcome Naka ^^

I went there only one week too but we traveled a lot during this time so that we could see a maximum of Turkey's aspects (from Istanbul to Ankara). Sometimes we had 500km to do to go from a visiting point to another ^^;. It was a bit tiring but very interesting.

hum... you've traveled a lot of country...
I've visited Chinise, like my sister, and Morocco too.
Well... what else... ah yes, I've seen Bali, in indonesia, and Canada when I was eight i think...

Egypt: Stones, stones and many old stones. Surprising country i'd like to discover on my own and not with 60 years old folks... (I was 13...)

Spain: Just an afternoon with some camping drunkbags to buy cheaper Ricard. (I was 8...)

England: East sussex, I was 13 for the school trip. Nice week but I wish I could go on my own (My english improved since then..)

Paris, the metro: Several stations, the best way to see the world in a single day.

I forgot.
Use preterit here. Present past is to be used when there's an idea of lenght (a period of time) connected to the present time. Here the reference of "forget" is your post, that is to say a single point in the past, with no link to the moment you're talking.
