How many countries have you lived in, vacationed at or traveled to?

Some people never leave the USA, and that's fine but living/visiting another country gives you a whole new perspective on living in the USA.

I have lived in 5, and travelled to around 25. I came to the conclusion that where ever you go, people are pretty much the same.

Lived in 2 (USA and China), traveled to or have lived short-term in 20, but I can say with complete and utter confidence (@atd15) that people in China are NOT the same as anyone, anywhere else ;) I find commonalities with all of the other European, Arab, and even African expats that live here in Shandong, but we all laugh at how different the Chinese are sometimes :) (in a fond way of course)

Sadly, I'm not much of a traveler.

Lived - 1
Visited - 4

Though, visited is more like one/two honestly. I used to live near Detroit so one of the countries I've visited is Canada. However, when you live so close that you could walk there, I don't really consider it a different country (so you say aye and like maple syrup way too much, that's about the only difference). Other than that I visited Greece a few years back (absolutely beautiful btw, never pass that up if you ever get the opportunity). My flight took me through Germany so I guess technically I've visited there too. The tour through Greece was amazing, and we made a half day stop in Turkey as well. So all countries 'visited' would be: (in order of time I've spent there from most to least) Canada, Greece, Turkey, Germany.

@dmaz: I didn't mean that people are culturally the same, I meant that you find good and bad people everywhere. We often demonize people from other places, and my experience is that this is not the case.

I've lived in just the US but have visited Mexico, Canada, and South Korea. (Oh, and I saw Japan when I flew over it, but that probably doesn't count.)

Zero, Four, and Four.

I've lived only in the US, but that won't be a country much longer. I've traveled to - or through - and visited Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.

If things go right I'll be moving to a different country by the end of 2012, then the number will be 1.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
