USA (SanFrancisco, Welcome to the land of fat people! Unbelievable! At last I feel at home!-twice)
Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur-three times)
Italy (Rome-twice)
Singapore (Singapore, Changi Airport, named after the POW camp James Clavell's "King Rat" is based on. I highly recommend this airport, it is like a miniature town and has great food, real beaut showers, gyms, massage, movie theaters and they recently built a second airport next door which is connected by a "sky-train" of some sort-four times)
Japan (Osaka, Kansai airport similar to Changi but looks sort of space age, "sky trains" run all over the place-twice)
Japan (Tokyo, busy place-twice)
Melbourne (Lost count)
Brisbane (Once)
:wink:

Most interesting place I've been to is Albania - went for a traditional family wedding (brother in law from Oz marrying a local). Was fantastic. Stunning beaches, scenery.

That however could be superceded by the Ponderosa this Saturday night...
