Between us, have we been to every country in the world?

Has nobody been to South Korea? If not,then I'll claim it. I've technically been to North Korea too, but visiting the JSA seems like an insufficient amount of time

I've spent about an hour at a train station on the way back from Greece.

I've stood on a bridge in the middle of the Yalu River between North Korea and China, but I think you might have got closer.

I've also been through Brunei airport, if that's something we are counting.
 
I can't add any countries to your list (USA and Canada...), but there are others on the forum yet to appear here who can still add a large number. A couple people on here are well traveled in Oceania and Central America/Caribbean. I've also seen wildlife photos from some Asian countries that are yet untaken on this thread.
 
A relative short list but with one new one ( if I checked it right ) :
Belgium
Czech Republic
Cuba
Danmark
Egypt
France
Gambia
Germany ( both East and West when they still where seperated )
Luxembourg
Mexico
Netherlands
Senegal
Turkey
UK

Thank you!

By the way, has anybody been to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya? Yesterday two of the rangers who look after the last two remaining Northern white rhinos came to our school and gave a talk. One of the men was the last to see Sudan alive :( and he spoke very emotionally about the moment they delivered the final dose.

My list is:

Antigua and Barbuda
Austria
Belgium
Botswana
Costa Rica
Czech Republic
Denmark
Dominica
Ethiopia
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Luxembourg
Malaysia
Nepal
Netherlands
Poland
Portugal
Slovakia
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States of America
Vatican City
Vietnam

Plus (not countable here) Jersey and Gibraltar, and technically about 15 minutes where we did actually leave the airport in South Africa but I don't usually count that (except for half a dozen species on my bird list..!). I've also passed through airports in Bahrain and the UAE without leaving the airport at all.

I think Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica and Nepal are new, from a quick look through.

Just remembered I did leave the airport in Kazakhstan briefly, which I would count for the purposes of this challenge, although I wouldn't dream of saying I've visited the country.
 
Don't think I can add any to the list, but it's been interesting to list my countries...

UK (England, Scotland, Wales, but not Northern Ireland)
France
Switzerland
Germany
Italy
Ireland
Spain
United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah Emirates. I've been to Al Ain, which is on the boarder with Oman, but didn't cross the boarder that I can remember. Have got friends in Oman, so maybe a trip is in order)
