OK, How many countries have I visited?

OK just got the message, I'll be back shortly ....

Right. How many places have I lived in in my life. This will include my parents flats/houses until I left home, and then my own flats/houses. This will be living in as defined by sleeping there and receiving mail there for at least 6 months and paying rent/mortgage. I suppose I should give some clues here. I have lived in my present house for 28 years, Also my parents tended to stay for a quite a few years in their homes before moving.

Right, but then there are things like college and such.

6.
