Apparently I should be living in Tokyo

A funky little application in facebook called WhatCity suggests I should be living in Tokyo.

You plug in answers to a series of questions - sort of like a little personality test - and WhatCity returns the city that think most resembles your personality traits.

Here's what it says about why I should be living in Tokyo:

"Admit it - you love the taste of teriyaki bowls, sushi, tempura, and a side of wasabi. Salivating yet? Living in Tokyo lets you treat your tongue to new and exciting experiences. Have fun with all the new tools and gadgets, making your life easier in this technologically-advanced city."

Given my love of all things Japanese, this was hardly a revelation!

Trip Advisor's travel map in facebook

Ah, facebook...the distraction of it. TripAdvisor has created an addictive little application that you can install into your facebook profile, and lets you plot down to a city level, where you've been.

I like this version better than some of the earlier attempts, that would shade the entire country of Russia if you had only been to Moscow. This version lets you mark specific cities or states.

It tells me I'm up to 265 cities in 41 countries - I still reckon Scotland and Wales count as seperate countries, but this version does not. Anyway...as you can see, there's some vast empty areas on my map, which are yet to be explored, but are definitely on the list.
