I've travelled a lot, so who knows? and with "met" you mean people i just met for 2 minutes, people i shared a meal with or something, people with whom i talk regularly or what? Not sure i reach more than 100 (i don't even remember everyone i met in my 12 years of so of travels) but certainly more than 50.

Who the hell can honestly say to know people form 100 different countries ?!?

I can.  Although most of them have been through my line of work, in which I encounter dozens of foreign travelers every week.

gigolo?

I wish!  Hopefully I'll be promoted soon enough, but for now I'm just a standard rent-boy.

US
Canada
UK
Guatemala
Norway
Sweden
Somalia
Sudan
Kenya
Russia
Thailand
Brazil (stripper)

Don't know for certain but almost certainly:

Vietnam
Laos
Mexico

There's a lot of immigrants from the top two in my neighborhood, and the latter in neighboring areas. I'm sure other Latin American countries too, a lot of stores here advertise things like calling cards valid in Central American countries.

It might be more useful for me to try to think of the countries I haven't met someone from to my knowledge, and then subtract that from the total number of countries.
