Well I've been to Scotland! and London but I don't suppose that counts. The one location that will, is Piz Gloria, which I visited when on holiday in Switzerland in 1991 or was it 1992? and boy is Switzerland beautiful? . . . .

I've been to Bangkok (TMWTGG), Rio and Iguacu Falls (MR), and Paris (AVTAK). I've also been to Vietnam, which was technically in TND, but was actually Bangkok!

There's so many places in the films that I'd love to go. But I'm a student right now, and hence broke! :tup:

I 've been to several common places, like Eiffel Tower, or Big Ben, or Venice and Oxford and so on. The most interesting so far has been the Monasteries of the Meteora in Greece (I 've been to Achilleion in Corfu as well).

GE wasn't shot directly in Siberia...

The dam was in Switzerland and the rest were only maquettes.

The same with what happened in DAD, They didn't film in Korea, altought a main part of the movie was set there. So it was in TND with Vietnam recreated in Bangkok and Pinewood Studios and the Last CR with Madagascar built in Bahamas
