    Are you a globetrotter ? seeking out new and exciting places ?
    Are you just a vacationer, seeking out the good spots ?
    Or do you love your home country and can never seem to get bored of it ?

    You're not a loser, Absane, everybody knows US is the center of
    the world

    and I've never been there.

    I see this places mostly funded by 'third party':

    * Germany: studying here funded by scholarship from germany government.

    * Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand: presenting technical paper,
    funded by my first former office

    * Japan, Korea: funded by my second (and last) office

    * Srilanka & Dubai: just transit.

    * Netherland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy: Funded by
    myself. It looks like a lot of countris but its because they are
    close and cheap to reach from germany. For example, went to
    Netherland, Luxembourg, and Belgium, each only 38.5 euro (57 USD).
    Went to other places when there were special offers.

    * Qatar: just transit

    * Nepal: part of current project study, funded by DAAD

    * Next year (maybe): Chile: part of work & study, funded also by DAAD;


    Thanks, Absane, I dream to get married there one day, in one
    beautiful evening, with sunset as background, hehee.. Its home
    anyway.

    Btw from today (3 dec) till 14 Dec there is a world event there
    (in Bali), a United Nation Climate Change Conference 2007.

    Thx, Challenger. I started travelling abroad in 2002 when I firstly
    got a job (got a job in 2001).

    Awesome

    How'd you guess ?, However, most of the places I listed I went to visit, not in transit or anything.
