RHP Travel

You have to travel to all 50 countries in Asia [or 48, or whatever it is exactly]. You cannot set foot in the same country more than once.

You have 100 credits. You get 1 credit each time you cross a land border. You lose 2 credits each time you have to catch a plane/ship [to avoid revisiting a country].

You must start from a different country from the ones selected by the players who started before you.

Describe your travel involving visits to just FOUR countries at a time in a succession of posts.

Keep your own running score and announce it as part of each 4-visit 'move' you post on this thread.

This sounds like a complex board game.

I shall start [100 pts] in Yemen and pass through Oman [101 pts] on the way to the U.A.E [102 pts] and then through Saudi Arabia [103 pts] and into Qatar [104 pts]*

* I had to look at a map. I thought I could go from U.A.E. to Qatar without entering Saudia Arabia, but I couldn't.

104 pts.

No one else can start in Yemen.

Just do it from your general knowledge and then when it gets a bit more tricky, gaze at a map for a few seconds.

Ok I’ll start off in Indonesia where you and I go to your favourite restaurant for local nosh and beers.

Here you explain the game several times to myself and others gathered around our table. You grow a little impatient as many people “don’t get it”.

Meanwhile lively debate ensues between a Japanese tourist and a Greek cartographer claiming to be a direct descend ...[text shortened]... You and I get another beer in while you explain the menu to me.
You are doing a lot of explaining.

Hopefully it’s better than Sunwing Travel, at the moment.😡

I am in Qatar with 104 pts. I cannot reenter Saudi Arabia.

So, I fly [minus 2 pts] to Kuwait [102 pts]. I travel through Iraq [103 pts], then to Jordan [104 pts] and Israel [105 pts].

I have 105 pts.

I am in Iran and I have 109 pts.

I travel through Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan and arrive in Russia, 1 pt for each visit.

I have 113 pts.

I am in Russia, albeit the European part [I think] and I have 113 pts.

I travel overland through Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Uzbekistan, 1 pt each.

I have 117 pts.

I am travelling totally on my own. Nobody else. Just me. So alone.

If the thread reaches page 2, then I will count it as being a success.

I am in Uzbekistan and  have 117 pts. So I travel through Turkmenistan [1pt], Afghanistan [1pt], Pakistan [1pt] and end up in China [1pt].

I have 121 pts.

This missfire of a thread will never reach the second page.
