Country Checklist

Here are the nations that I must visit in order to complete The Odyssey Expedition.

As Yakko Warner helpfully points out in the following video, there are a LOT of countries in the world…

My plan for The Odyssey Expedition is to visit every country mentioned by Yakko and all the ones he missed! (I think that cartoon was made in the early 90s – we have dozens of new countries since then.) So that’s every member of the UN, the home nations of the UK as four separate entities and some new countries like Kosovo to bring us to a nice round total of 200 201, including South Sudan.

   Hi!
   what an amazing adventure)
   have you gone through West Papua yet?
   I went there 2 years ago following the independence movement – me loads of incredible people, human rights activists, freedom fighters, musicians….women who have been raped by indonesian soldiers, families who have had their homes burnt to the ground by indonesian military, children whose fathers have been imprisoned for raising their flag, men who have been tortured by the security forces. West Papuans are Melanesians like Fijians, Australian aborigines, people from PNG, Vanuatu, Soloman Islanders, Hawaiians…. they do not want to be part of Indonesia and have thousands of Its soldiers, killing, raping, torturing and intimidating their people.
   I hope you met lots of West Papuans whilst you were there… heard the PAPUA MERDEKA shout out… and got to understand the true spirit of these amazing people at what they are having to live with everyday. It is a beautiful place to travel to, but it is important that tourists who go there share with their friends the story of the West Papua people and their Freedom struggle. check out this amazing short film explaining whats going on, West Papua – Crisis Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mef36R2iJk&feature=related

   thanks for reading,
   Clare
