As a sort-of related aside, I had an interesting experience when applying for my two US visas within a couple of months. One of the questions on the form is list all the countries you have visited in the last ten years with the dates of visit. For both visas I noted the individual countries in Asia, Africa and America (with stamps in my passport that showed I had been there) and put E.U. for the countries in Europe. For the Toronto consulate (first visa) that was fine. In Montreal (second visa), the officer was ready to refuse my visa because she insisted on knowing exactly which countries I had been to. When I told her I didn't really remember since I had travelled a lot and couldn't check (no entry or exit stamps in my passport) she still wouldn't budge. So I made up a list on the spot to make her happy. Some people...
