It's interesting to see that, far from being shut-ins, we're a pretty widely traveled group. 8)

US and Mexico.Mexico when I was around seven,Nuevo Laredo.You just walked across the bridge and there was one chubby border patrol man and a box to leave your contraband in right in the middle of the bridge.It looked sort of like a mailbox.No one getting searched or any ID needed.

Including the UK, six: UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands.

If you consider Scotland and Wales to be separate countries, then it's eight.

1, because I have only been in the U.S where I am from.

That said the vast majority of metal bands I listen to are from outside of the U.S.

...This presumably meaning "...other than the country you are from " (I'm American), I have only ever been to Canada :( ...and that only when I was 18 at the oldest and only with my parents)s - I've gone to anywhere else under any circumstances :cry: . I never got to do anything like that when I was younger and not-cripplef :cry: .
