    I've been to Denmark. Cycled over from Dover to visit some Danish mates I'd been backpacking with 10 years ago.

        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          The Vatican... for my sins.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              No but I met an engineer who had been there to fix something. They smuggled him in at night to do the job. Oh, another engineer went to Beirut when they were flinging bombs around there. I think he got danger money for that.

                I went to Beirut between the wars. It was lovely. It's just a shame it's next to some nutters that insist on knocking the tulip out of it every now and then.

                    Really enjoyed Bolivia and Peru.

                      Spent about 5 weeks in Beirut from Jan-Feb 1995. Quite liked it.
                      East Berlin before the wall came down was also quite surreal, although that trip was only for a few hours.
                      The Andaman Islands off the East India coast was a blast too.
                      The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was like going through a timewarp.......but quite pleasant and cheap!
