Here's the deal. I've got this map here with three red dots and three green dots. In Paint or something, you move the green dots to places you like, whether you've been there or want to go there or whatever, and you move the red dots to places you don't. Frivolity is acceptable, but you must place all six dots, no more, no less. You can place them over cities, countries, continents, whatever.

After a few people have done this, I'll take all the maps and overlay them to make a composite map.

To begin, here is mine:

Image

+Switzerland +Japan +Hong Kong
-New Zealand -Indonesia -Jamaica



The composite, so far:

some of the countries are small on this map and it's kinda hard to tell which dot is placed on which country. So, here's a list:

Countries I desire to travel to:
-Turkmenistan
-Lithuania
-Chile

Countries I do not desire to travel to:
-Thailand (not right now, anyways)
-Tanzania
-Italy

Heh, done and done.

I'd love to go to Britain, Australia, and Italy.

I'll never, ever find myself in Brazil, ever. Or Iran. Or Brazil. Never fucking go to any of those three places. Goddamn.
