I thought I’d travelled more. Apparently I’ve visited only 9% of the world’s countries. The map gives the false impression that I’ve been to Alaska and the far reaches of the northern Canadian wilds. I have not.
It’s also obvious that Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East are in serious need of my presence.

Well, I’ve got no blog anymore, so I’ll post the code here and see what happens. I’ve also visited 9% of the globe, it seems, though a different 9%. Damn those tiny countries I’ve visited! Damn them!

Bugger. No image appeared.
So, go here
Maybe it is time you pay a visit to Israel. Come, it will be a blast (hee-hee, not funny).
I think maybe it’s 9% of the total number of countries, rather than their size… in fact, let me just go check that.
Yep, I put in China and Russia for size, and got “you have visited 0% of countries”, added USA, Canada, Greenland and Australia for some more size and got 2% for six countries.
So then tried six small countries for comparison - Albania, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Liechtenstien, Luxembourg and the Vatican City - and again came up with 6%, despite only vaguely seeing their dots of red on the map.
Bleh, I’ve got four assignments to write on:
Augustine’s Confessions
Merovingian kings
Mass media in industrialised society
Transitional governments and new imperialism
