I just read Moniak's response to another thead when s/he mentioned countries where s/he will never return to -- all none existing now.

That made me think about where I've been that fit that category and I only came up with Yugoslavia and West Germany.

How about you? Where have you been that no longer exists?

Quite nostalgic isn't it?

I don't think there is much to add, unless someone travelled to parts of Africa in the 50's, or North and South Vietnam.

Well, I visited Germany for the first time in 1991, Prague in 1995, Russia in 1997, and any of the former Yugoslav countries in 2006 (including a trip to Montenegro 2 weeks after it became independent), so....

Oh wait!! There are at least three of them!!

1) I visited Hong Kong when it was a British colony; when I visited again last year, it is "Hong Kong SAR of China."

2) Same to Macau, I visited it when it was a Portuguese colony, now it is a Chinese SAR.

3)...and yes, one of the former Yugo...I visited Kosovo (Kosova now) in 2007, when it is a "UN Protectorate" and now (just in February) it is an independent country (at least some country recognize that)

Trinque
