How Many Stamps in Your Passport?
Sitting in a taxi, going home from EWR, I decided to count the stamps in my passport. Was pleasantly surprised to see the one I received minutes earlier was number 100. 
(This was counting only stamps (not visas), including re-entry stamps in the US.)

My current passport (18 months old) has more. It is 48 pages (standard size for my country & we aren't able to add pages) and is almost full with only a handful of visas. One page has 8 stamps.

We only get a passport for 5 years, which in reality you get to use for just over 4.5 years.
The one that is about to expire has 132 stamps in it plus seven full page visas. Unlike in the US, we dont get reentry stamps when we come home, which is good, or there would be absolutely no room in it left quickly
It would have more, but I mostly use my EU passport for European travel, it has 25 stamps, mostly from South America where Canadians are subject to ripoff entry reciprocity fees.

I remember we crossing the border Canada/USA/Mexco, too. So its does not have any problems about my passports at all. So far where I will try flying to Switzerland or England sometime in the future. If I will have get a new job real soon.

Who can count them? Two stats that are countable from current passport. How many stamps on a two page spread.........26. How many stamps from just one country in current passport? 477 stamps from just one country (entrance and exit), 127 stamps from country number two (just entrance).
