Jumping on a recent meme, here are maps of the countries and U.S. states I’ve visited. The map of countries is misleading. I’ve never been to Alaska; my visit to Mexico consisted of two hours in Tijuana, right over the U.S./Mexico border; my visit to China consisted of several hours in Canton, on the southern coast, as well as three trips to Hong Kong back when it was still in British hands. I spent two whole weeks exploring Israel, but it shows up as nothing more than a tiny speck on this map. And I spent a week in Jamaica, but you’d never know it.
