I'm courious as to how much of the world our small group of riders have seen. This is strictly outside of the US. Spelling dosn't count.
I'll start:
Japan (3 yrs)
Phillipines (Subic Bay, Manila)
Korea (Puson)
Singapore
Pakistan (Karatchi)
Hong Kong
Austrailia (Perth)
Isreal (Hifa)
Spain (Palma, Benadorem)
England (London,
France (Tulon, Brest, Monico)
Italy (Naples, Pisa)
Greece (Athens)
Diago Garcia
Sicily (Palermo)
Antigua
Of the different places you have been which one was your favorite and which one did you dislike the most?
For me the best was Auttrailia and the least was Pakistan.

Germany, lived there for 6 years
All over Europe. If it's a country in NATO, I visited including England, Ireland and the Scottish isles. Everything from Portugal to Italy, to Denmark and back to England, and all the countries in between.
Chechloslavakia before it split, got history there, Grandma on Ma's side of the family came from there.
Egypt, but not for visits, for military exercises, so it was tents in the desert and no sight seeing.
Same with Saudi and a few other places in the middle east, went to set up tents for all the guys coming from the states, then back to Europe to help send the supplies eastward.
Canada, going there again in two weeks for work.
Mexico...gotta visit when you live in Baja Mexico (San Antonio Texas that is, Mexico's northern province). Too many lost weekends in Nuevo Larado to count.
Best is anywhere in Europe, since you can get anywhere else there in less than a day of driving. Best places there...Amsterdam and Munich. A-dam cause of the lifestyle, going back there in a few months for work, only this time I'm NOT in the military...so cafe's will be visited for that cultural experience. Munich was just a neat place to visit, lots of cool stuff there and the surrounding areas. And the chocolate house 4 blocks west of the Glockenspiel was awesome, 4 story house full of hand made German chocolate for sale.
Worst place, anywhere I had to go for military purposes where the land was sandy, the weather was hot, the living arrangements were made of olive green colored canvas, and the toilet was a hole you had to dig out back.

The worst was probably a mountain top just below the DMZ in Korea. and stuck in a traffic jam in Tokyo.
The best was Germany in the summer time, them people like to party.
