Telltale Games

apenpaap · 04/19/2011, 04:11 am

Though I travel quite a lot, I don't travel very far and have never left Europe, though I'm planning to visit all seven continents some day. I'm wondering how my fellow Telltale-ites compare. So how many continents have you been to?
Please select the number of continents you've been to in the first part of the poll and select all that you've been to in the second part. DON'T pick more than one option in the first part of the poll, or I will pee on your favourite animal.

One.

I feel bad, because the whipped cream in my refrigerator (Welsh) has been in more continents then me.

**puzzlebox** · 04/19/2011, 04:14 am

All of 'em except Antarctica! And until 5 years ago, I'd never been outside of Australia. I've been catching up.

doodinthemood · 04/19/2011, 04:25 am

The olympic rings represent the 5 continents.

All 5 of them.

DAISHI · 04/19/2011, 08:31 am

Five according to the United States reckoning of continents, specifically South America, North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

So where do Australia/new zealand etc. and Antarctica fit into that? I don't see how Australia/Antartica could be classed as Asian, given the distance between them and the main asian landmass, and the completer difference in culture. I think they're even on different plates, and antartica certainly has a very different climate.

I'm a space-janitor. I have never been on any continent.

Martin McFly · 04/19/2011, 10:49 am

Three. North America, Asia and Europe. All three experiences have been spectacular and I'm eager to visit more.

Falanca · 04/19/2011, 10:56 am

2. One of those good things about living in Istanbul.

lombre · 04/19/2011, 11:18 am

Just this one. I really need to get out more.

RetroVortex · 04/19/2011, 11:53 am

Never been outside of Europe.
(Barely been outsde if the UK)

My main fear has to be wildlife.
If I hate Wasps and Flies here, going somewhere like Australia would drive me crazy.

(Don't like mozzies either. I get incredibly paranoid at night when I'm on holiday. Have to check EVERYTHING to ensure no Mozzies get me. Parents have learnt well as we take quite a lot of spray with us when we go. Else I will keep getting up and annoying everyone)

Its unsuprising I'm not good with sun (and heat in general) either.
I tend to sit in the shade rather than tan.
I find it more relaxing to be honest.
Nothing better than resting in the shade, laid back, smell of chlorine, and a good tune!

Four if I count Asia, where I only stayed at Changi International Airport on my way to and from Australia. I mostly travel to other places in Europe when I'm going on vacation, but I really don't travel all that much.

Javi-Wan Kenobi · 04/19/2011, 01:18 pm

Never been outside Europe
Just five countries: Spain, France, United Kingdom, Ireland and The Netherlands
Later this year I'll probably go to Germany
I hope to visit other continents somewhen, I'd love to go to America (both North, Middle -I'd like to pay a visit to my uncle who lives in Nicaragua- and South)

Australia and Antarctica are their own continents according to U.S. classification. There are 7 continents under the U.S. system.

Origami · 04/19/2011, 03:02 pm

4.

Europe. I live in it, but have visited many countries in it either way.
Asia. Have been to Turkey multiple times. But will visit eastern Asia more thoroughly this summer.
Africa. Went to Morocco along with friends.
North-America. Went for a 2 week holiday.

skeeter · 04/20/2011, 03:24 am

3 (forgot to tick it, just ticked the continents). Europe, Australia and Asia. But I guess Asia doesn't count cos it's only been stopovers.

Chyron8472 · 04/20/2011, 03:56 am

Never been away from North America.

Joop · 04/20/2011, 04:08 am

That's what I thought. It seems I misead Daishii's comment. I thought he was saying "There are 5 continents: Specifically..."
My bad.

DAISHI · 04/20/2011, 07:16 am

Haha no under the U.S. System there are seven though this is different elsewhere as made clear in this thread.

Does anyone know of places that use something different from the 5 or 7 continent systems? Perhaps four?
