I thought I filled this out as well. I did a search and I didn't come up with this under the author search...
Anyways..
Not including transits, but including seperate immigration checks (to inc. Macau and HK, which are quasi-countries)
Japan (2x)
Singapore
Malaysia
Hong Kong
Macau
China
Korea
England
Mexico (countless times)
Also about 25 US states, but never Canada
By Jan 5 i'll add:
Panama
Argentina
Uruguay
Paraguay
Brazil
14 countries isn't THAT bad for a student who started 2 years ago.

BTW, I was interested to see on your list that you've been to North Korea - when was that and how did you do it? I understood that it was pretty much a closed country until the recent much-hyped tour flights from Seoul...

Only 20, mostly Europe, Carribean and N. America. Wifey probably has 25 with business trips to the Far East and Nordics.
I'm also at 43 states and 9 provinces. North Dakota is going to be the tough one.
