I’ve visited:
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont (I think), Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey (I think), North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, California, and Maryland
I don’t count stopping at an airport as visited…
So I’ve visited 12-14 of them, 24%-28%. I have a ways to go.
I have no idea what would be good to learn. Some ones I’ve heard of:
Java
Python -I’ve tried this and failed at it :)
Ruby
C++
Perl
So I’m not going to attempt this until I get to college, but some potential candidates would be:
Italian -This would be fun to learn, and not hugely difficult as I’ve already taken classes in Spanish and Latin
Arabic -Would be very cool to know, especially the writing
Chinese -Incredibly useful, but incredibly difficult. I would learn Mandarin, not Cantonese
Japanese -Same as Chinese, but slightly easier and perhaps more interesting. Less people speak it though
German -I just think this would be so fun to speak
Spanish -By far the most common language on the list, and probably the most useful, but I’ve already tried it and didn’t like it.
Russian -A lot of people speak it, and there’s a lot of interesting stuff written in it.
Hindi -Another big language, but I don’t know enough about it yet.
I’ve only been to Italy, which leaves Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria/Hungary, and Turkey. I guess I’ll need to plan a whirlwind European tour one summer. I’m not sure how to do Austria Hungary anymore, as it doesn’t exist. I think I’ll just visit Vienna and Budapest, and perhaps Trieste.
I’ve been to three: North America, Europe, and Africa.
I go to the Galapagos soon, which knocks off South America
Later in the summer I go to India, which takes care of Asia.
So by the end of this summer the only continents I will have not been to are Australia…and Antarctica...
I will establish control over a small area in rural central Asia. Once there, I will buy all the land and plant turnips everywhere. The people living there will harvest turnips for me in return for food and shelter. Once my rule is firmly entrenched, I will declare independence and establish my own country. The currency will be turnips. The main export of the country will be turnips. My palace will be shaped like a turnip. My crown will be a large turnip- shaped thing.
