It pains me to admit, but 6...7 if you include a night in schipol due to the flights being delayed. Every time we go to China we plan to travel, but the Daughter arriving put the halters on that. Might add another this year, we'll see.

How many countries have you been to and attempted to speak their lingo, or indeed learnt it?

I went to Latin once, and did okay, but I never found out where it was. 😀
