World is indeed quite small.
Back when I was around 12, Impy's family went camping in summer to the seaside of Burgas in Bulgaria. It happens to be stone's throw away from Varna, right DG? I think we actually went shopping to Varna, 'cause it's the biggest city around.
Back when I was 18, my brother and I, we went to former Yugoslavia, to the beaches of Croatia, see Plitvice lakes etc. and I'm pretty sure we traveled through Serbia parts as well.
Now, at 22, I took a year off uni, and went to America, Ohio. Eventually we bought a car and travelled across USA, including Grand Canyon, which Matt might know, not sure here,is in Arizona.

I have not been in Australia, but years ago, when I was renting this flat with bunch of other folks, cockroaches suddenly appeared and everyone panicked. The only guy who remained cool was this guy from Melbourne, who simply stated, these things are a lot more common in Australia.
The only person who did not say much about his whereabouts is ckdamascus, so I think it is safe to assume that he either needs to keep a low profile, being either illegal alien or member of secret services, or he is a high ranking official somewhere, possibly even president of some small exotic country. If that's the case, get us a good job CK!
