Well he's from Lithuania  :(. But we do know it's good if your country or city is visited, but every time someone used Australia in a wish list you're not obligated to congratulate them for it.

3 (Mexico) + 17 (South Korea) + 19 (Taiwan) + 25 (Philippines) + 22 (Vietnam) + 0 (Qatar) + 26 (Germany) + 19 (Denmark) + 0 (Nashville) = 131

I think Mexico would actually be 28.

Oh shoot you're right! Thanks for that! So instead of 131 it would actually be 156. My bad!

I have to admit, Sydney is the 'overused' city in Australia. It's been visited twice! Personally, if TAR30 did Sydney, I'd been very disappointed, because there are many other cities in Australia, that are worth posting!

It's kinda funny, though, don't think any version has ever visited Canberra. A lot of people mistakenly think Sydney is the national capital but have never heard of the actual one.

The reason people out of Australia think Sydney's the capital, is because hardly any tourists go to Canberra! They all go to Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, etc. Canberra will NEVER been visited by TAR, because the city is so small (they could be visited though, if a leg was set in Sydney and maybe a fast forward let them to there.) I went there for camp once and we drove from north to south in about 10 minutes! So there u go. My reasons.  :)

oh. I didn't know that there was a number limit. But I would contend that Reunion, Azores, French Guiana, and Easter Island numbers shouldn't count, and I only added those numbers in case someone told me otherwise. Removing those numbers would make 76.
