Parochial? Moi?
create your own visited country map
Just zooming in a little:
create your personalized map of europe
But to be fair, this map can't reflect the fact that I did visit East Germany, pre-1989, which has to be worth something. Great fun - had a gun pointed at me by a border guard after we took the wrong turn down the motorway, played the organ in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, and got the words "Küche" and "Kuchen" mixed up so I asked for "a slice of kitchen" in a cafe - happy days.
Oh, and my father had to throw the rest of his black market Ostmarks into a bin in a motorway parking area, since we wouldn't be able to convert them back to Deutschmarks at the border - seeing a Yorkshireman literally throw his money away is a pretty rare sight, I can tell you.
Hat-tip to Theresa.
