As Viper used to keep in his sig, I'll simply state my usual line:  I don't need to travel to see the world, because the world comes here and starts crime syndicates.

I agree with my esteemed brother from another mother.

Foreigners are hard enough to tolerate on business trips. So Disneyland will be my future "foreign" trips with kids. On non fag days.

I've only spent 6 years in my home country, 29 years in foreign lands.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Adding up all the time you've spent out on off-shore rigs, how long do you think you have collectively on them?

Eh..four or five months total in Japan, a couple weeks here or there on various Pacific islands, a couple weeks in Australia (another island heh), several trips to Mexico before they started killing each other more than normal, about a month in Singapore (also an island I suppose), about a week in Korea....I think that's it.

I live in the richest part of a big, rich country.  Where would I go?

Someplace you can swim in the ocean instead of skating on it.

Ethnic Alberta is landlocked.  Oceans are only useful as something for dreadnoughts to float on.

Much to my dismay. :(
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I would let my ex raise my children for a year for an opportunity to spend that year in Europe. That's how badly I want to live somewhere other than here for a bit.
