How do you count as having "visited" somewhere? I hate when people say they've been to a place when it was really a layover.
>>2851604>I hate when people say they've been to a place when it was really a layover.This pretty much answers your question.A place counts as having visited if youA) Made a conscious effort to visit the placeB) Ended up there by circumstanceIf I made the conscious decision to visit Hong Kong, that means I visited Hong Kong.If I have a flight to Hong Kong, but there is a 3-hour layover in Tokyo in-between, this does NOT mean I visited Tokyo.If I have a flight to Hong Kong, but there is a 12-hour layover in Tokyo in-between, and I decide to leave the airport to explore the area, this does mean I visited Tokyo.If I have a flight to Hong Kong, but the plane made an emergency landing in Seoul, applying the same logic as the previous situations, I either did visit Seoul because I spent time outside the airport to stretch my legs, or I didn't visit Seoul because the plane issue was sorted out in a couple of hours and I never left the airport.If you need more examples, let me know.
>>2851611>A place counts as having visited if you>A) Made a conscious effort to visit the place>B) Ended up there by circumstanceYou haven't thought this through. I have a retarded colleague who talks wistfully about his time in Myanmar. He did a border run. Consciously, to visit Myanmar. He literally only saw the border. >If you need more examples, let me know.You are literally a spastic. Literally.
>>2851612The question is about what defines a visit, not a quality experience. Your colleague did objectively visit Myanmar, he just didn't have a good experience. Him being a pretentious cunt about it is a separate issue. For a brit, you sure have a poor grasp of your own language.
>>2851613You can't say you've visited Myanmar if you just stamped your passport there. We all understand what technically and legally meets the definition of a visit. For a spastic, you sure have a predictable grasp of nuance and meaning
>>2851614>You can't say you've visited Myanmar if you just stamped your passport there. Are you going to explain your definition of a visit, or are you just going to be a bitter cunt?>We all understand what technically and legally meets the definition of a visit.Why are you so combative if you agree with me?>nuance and meaningIt's not my responsibility to know the intention behind your words. Speak clearly, or don't speak at all.
>>28516153 days is the key number. If you spent two days in Thailand and were only in Bangkok, don't say you've been to Thailand. You can say you spent a couple of days in Bangkok.Saying you visited a country begets the follow up question of "what was it like?" You cannot answer the question with a 1 or 2 day visit. What's India like? You don't know. You can tell me what your hotel was like or the neighborhood in Delhi, you can't tell me what the country is like. So:vis·it/ˈvizət/verb(related to countries) Travelling to and spending a minimum of three days in a country, territory or landmass "I visited Taiwan this summer"
it depends on the other party desuif i'm talking to an american whose never left his country of course i will say i've "been" to the netherlands when in reality i just had a 2 hour layover there that i spent browsing the stores in schiphol, because this will impress themif i'm talking to somebody more well-traveled then i would never consider saying i've "been" to a country unless at the very least i spent a night there.
>>2851604spent the night + saw or did something worth noting
>>2851630>if i'm talking to an american whose never left his country of course i will say i've "been" to the netherlands when in reality i just had a 2 hour layover there that i spent browsing the stores in schiphol, because this will impress themThis is the gayest, most beta shit I've ever read on /trv/. Do you have no confidence that you try to trick normies about yourself? I'm so glad I'm not still living through that stage.
>>2851617>3 days is the key numberSo wait, has nobody visited the Vatican then? Or Lichtenstein? I've been to Norn Iron, a territory, multiple times but not even a combined 3 full days so does that mean I've never visited it? Same for my day trip to Luxembourg?
>>2851693Micronations like the Vatican, one day is ok
>>2851705How do you even spend 24 hours in the Vatican?
>>2851710>How do you even spend 24 hours in the Vatican?I didn't say 24hrs. I said a day. Are you the same autist that doesn't understand nuance and meaning?
>>2851718Sunrise to sunset is still a lot of time to be spending in the Vatican, tho.
>>2851720>Sunrise to sunset is still a lot of time to be spending in the Vatican, tho.It doesn't have to be exactly sunrise to sunset. Maybe tap your head rhythmically if the linguistic ambiguity is stressful for you.
>>2851723So if I visit the Vatican when it's dark, it doesn't count at all?
>>2851718>>2851723You don't have to greentext a reply if you're gonna quote the entire post. We can see the original posts just fine, and it's not like you were segmenting part of a giant paragraph.
>>2851727>You don't have to greentext a reply if you're gonna quote the entire post. We can see the original posts just fine, and it's not like you were segmenting part of a giant paragraphMore autism evidence. Thank you, we were convinced already tho
>>2851729Not the same guy. Just saying that you're doing it wrong, which is quite autistic of you.
>>2851730>Not the same guyTwo autists in 4chan. Imagine my surprise.
