Enjoying Chicago
Last Monday, after much waiting, I finally jumped aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight and made my way over to the windy city of Chicago. It’s been a pretty turbulent week so far but, fortunately, one which has afforded me the opportunity to enjoy some of the fantastic sights the city has to offer and I’m certainly looking forward to the chance to celebrate a victory by a certain Illinois senator.
I’ll try to put together a complete photo album as-and-when I have time.
Abroad
In but a couple of weeks, I’m planning to move to Chicago for a few months. For part of my US visa application, it has been necessary to retrace my travels over the past 10 years to pull together a complete travel history. Since this proved a far more challenging task than anticipated, it seemed sensible to record it for future reference:
| Year | Countries Visited |
|---|---|
| 2008 | Japan, China, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea |
| 2007 | Japan, China, Russia, Mongolia, Australia |
| 2006 | Japan |
| 2005 | France, Japan |
| 2004 | China |
| 2003 | France |
| 2002 | France, Austria, Italy |
| 2001 | France, Denmark, Sweden |
| 2000 | Egypt, Holland |
| 1999 | France |
| 1998 | Germany, France, Isle of Man |
As we’re only two thirds of the way through 2008, I’m looking forward to adding a couple more to the list before the year’s out.
