Where have you been?

Several nifty web sites allow you to check off all the countries you've visited, and then it colors them in on a map. Some of the checks are a bit misleading: a visit to Moscow and one to Vancouver BC can pretty much knock off most of the northern hemisphere, while multiple visits to smaller countries don't look like much. Maybe, however, it evens out in the end.

Some sites actually skip some countries:  One has no check box for Barbados, for example.  Others do interesting rearrangements:  on one Cyprus is in Europe; on another it is in the Middle East.  And some of the maps don't color in all the countries, even if they're checked off.  But this one seems to work okay: 








Many more to go.
