8% of the world's countries

According to an application that I added to facebook. I have been to 8% of the world's countries. My initial reaction was that that was too high.

But doing a little research it's probably about right.

According to About.com there are 194 countries

And I have so far been to 16 of them

1 England
2 Scotland
3 Ireland
4 Wales
5 Spain
6 France
7 Cyprus
8 Italy
9 Monaco
10 Holland
11 Hong Kong
12 US
13 Turkey
14 Belgium
15 Austria
16 Finland (soon)

Hands up if you can beat that.

I feel quite chuffed.
