Where is the most foreign place you have visited?

Belize

Cristin, 25
Frisco, TX USA

I haven't. I'm completely comfortable staying in the homeland.

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

I have had disturbing conversations with a number of native born Americans that are more alien to me than anything or anyone I've encountered in other countries.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Kuwait.

Aly, 17
Cardiff UK

Hong Kong

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

My parents' house post-robbery. No, seriously, Ireland, if you mean "not this country." I don't know if that's the technical definition of "foreign" or not, and I'm too tired to look it up.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

West Virginia.

Cindy, 41
VA USA

Montreal.

Alias Irrelevante

New Orleans was pretty crazy, but I think Hawaii is more foreign. Never been in another country yet, but I'm working on it.

A-Dog, 20
Eugene, OR USA

The foreign place I've visited most has been England. The most foreign, meaning different, to me was probably Italy.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

I've been to several other countries, but the most foreign place I've ever been was at a business lunch at the Italo-American club on Federal Hill in Providence, RI.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

The Sahara Desert in Northern Africa.

Tam

A Samburu village in Kenya.

Felicia, 37
Lowell, MA USA

My husband served in the Army for 15 years and during some of that time we got the opportunity to live in Germany. That was the greatest experience of my life and I'll always be grateful to the Army for that - nothing else, just that. When we lived in Germany, we visited Paris, where my husband served his mission. Wonderful! I can't say enough about it!

Reba, 57
Gaithersburg, MD USA

I lived in America for a year when I was 12. Tht was very foreign - although you expect britain and america to have similar cultures (which they do, to some extent) they are very different. Complete culture shock!

Mexico City when I was about 8. I still remember a lot of it. Everybody drove like maniacs and our cab driver slammed on his brakes and I broke a tooth on the bar across the back seat. We had dinner with a family my dad did business with. They had a daughter named Carmen I thought was beautiful and exotic and a son home from college who was very handsome. At least that's what I thought at the time.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

I have gone to the southern Caribbean islands. I guess St. Lucia. Not much of a traveler.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

Hawaii- That's the only place in the US atleast that has their own language. Does that count?

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

Pittsburg. That accent is wack. (joking, after three hours I pick it up completly and unconciously talk just like a local)

Keri-Jade, 23
Brampton, Ontario CANADA

Europe - Spain/France

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA

Probably parts of Eastern Europe.
