Hit it right on the nose.
They could also live near you but specified that they live in Montreal instead. There's no restriction on what area you can set.

What country are you from? Several countries sadly don't have the globe available to them (mine, Ireland being one of them).
I haven't actually got a person from a new country since before the update so I sadly can't tell you if its the same for me. I'm pretty sure you're in the same boat as me though as I don't recall any requirements for the globe to appear.

I got a Street Pass from someone from Anguilla.
In the middle of Illinois.
FUCK YEAH!

Oh wow, that is really impressive. I've got a Mii from Belgium, Wallonia, once and a few German onces. but that's it. I expect to meet more tourists this year, though. The popularity of the system is increasing and there are some tourists here...Well, a few million tourists. 
EDIT: OT, but just looked it up: 11,4 million tourists every year. Why don't I meet these people! :O

I guess I should walk around the Mall in DC or something more often. Maybe visit that Video Games exhibit in the Smithsonian. Yeah, that sounds good.

Isnt that the first country in the list
Yep. I always grab at least a few downtown, sometimes a lot more. Had like 60 from the Zelda launch event. Wii U launch will be amazing.

Yeah, I've gotten some of those. You actually got a StreetPass from someone from Lazytown.

I StreetPassed a Mii on their birthday and it made me super happy. I hope they were having a good one.

No map for Brazil? Lame, Nintendo.
I got one Streetpass in Gunwharf Quays in Portsmouth, but it was just a Mario Land mystery box. No Plaza. How does that even happen?
Either StreetPass not activated in Plaza for that person or you were too little time in range so it only had time to share part of the data.

Recently went to Pokémon VGC in Birmingham, UK and got a silly number of StreetPasses.
I think I was able to fill in every single pink piece in the puzzles at least. I just kept unlocking new ones I didn't even know existed, so now I have loads of coins to spend again. Just miffed you only get 10 per day as right now I am doing a lot of walking.

Completely irrelevant.
aww man, GamesCom can't come soon enough! had about 250 streetpasses there last year and i think this year will even be crazier. lol

Only thing you gotta be worried about is, if you're not running a 3DS game StreetPass might be disabled entirely. It certainly gets disabled if you're running an original DS game.
If you guys decide to have 3DS meetings and play local multiplayer while you wait for people to show up, be careful. I can testify that while playing Mario Kart 7 local multiplayer StreetPass is disabled. Dunno if this happens with every game, but it's definitely the case with MK7.
Streetpass is "disabled" while you are using any other form of wireless. Online or local play prevents Streetpass as SP uses the wireless "in the background" during normal play.
Unless I'm wrong, of course.

Double yellow magic apparently helps here. Apparently sandstorms dry up slimes and insta-kill them. Haven't managed to get a chance to try it myself yet though.

Substitute teacher update:
1st elementary school: 1 day, 1 street pass.
Middle school: 8 days, no street passes.
2nd elementary school: 4 days, 7 street passes.
3rd elementary school: 2 day, no street passes.
4th elementary school: 1 day, no street passes
With that fourth elementary school I talked to two second graders who had 3DSs, but didn't have them at school. I understand parents being hesitant to let their kids brings such an expensive device to school, but getting streetpasses is a unique aspect of the system.

Can't wait for that in Toronto this September (I think), and the Wii U launch will surely be crazy.

Currently at a Madden tournament, and no tags so far (not many people here). I will be coming back both Saturday & Sunday.

After asking about the 3DS sound streetpass here, been getting a lot of hits. A lot of people seem to love someone called Ke$ha -TiK Tok.

Got my 50th streetpass today. For living in a city which is 700.000 strong and being on business trips regularly not really much. At this rate I'll never finish the puzzles. The guy I passed today had even less pieces than me . Who thought the pink pieces were a good idea again?
. Who thought the pink pieces were a good idea again?I've been walking around Hamburg (Germany) the last two weeks. I've only received four hits during this period. Is there a popular videogame-related hangout somewhere in or around the city I could go to get more hits? Or even just a specific store? I did get two hits the one time I visited Saturn (on Monckebergstraße) but even then I was expecting more activity and came away slightly dissappointed.
I know about the StreetPass Hamburg group on Facebook. But they don't have any upcoming events listed, and I missed last weekend's big Nintendo event at the Europa Passage.
Any recommendations, GermanGAF?

Kid Icarus Uprising National Gamestop tournament in NYC was pretty awesome. Managed to get the 100 Streetpasses in one day accomplishment, which rocks. Also up to 92 Fantastics, so I'm almost done with that too.
Today's Nintendo World Launch should be pretty rockin' as well.

I meant to post this a few days ago but I forgot about it until now...
And just yesterday I StreetPassed this Mii:
Exactly 3,000 StreetPass Tags and 1,000 Plaza Population, lol. I'm currently at 3,035 tags now, though.
And just yesterday I StreetPassed this Mii:
Somebody is using Nikki as their StreetPass Mii, lol. Their Most Recent Software is perfect too! XD
You just keep checking people into the gate, and grabbing their puzzle pieces. It'll keep saying you have new visitors to the plaza gate though. Really wish it would hold more than 10 at a time.

I'm from Sydney, and my usual routes are 'dry spots'. I RARELY get hits.
I once got TONS of SP with Pinkies at Costcos (of all places), and Westfield Parramatta seems a good place to get hits on a weekend lunchtime (stay in the middle of foodcourt lol). Last week there was a card tournament at Gametraders, Westfield parramatta. I got some hits there as well.
Any more places I can go that has regular SP hits? Is there like a group that regularly have SPs here in Sydney?

I passed someone who used their Twitter account as a message. Maybe I should have tweeted him... "@whateverhisnamewas Learn to customise your kart in MK7. It is annoying to not unlock anything from winning."
Seriously, I think I've unlocked one part from streetpass races. I'm giving away rare items here folks, give some love back in return.

You are lucky compared to me as I have only gotten 10 unique street passes. I pass by the capital a lot and for some reason there is rarely anyone with a 3DS. Campus gives better hits but at most I get the same person most of the time.

And that's 100 Fantastics, and about 50 more tags from today at the Nintendo World Kid Icarus launch event and tournament.
Forgot to set a gem though. Such an idiot.
How to win at Streetpass Quest: Find a store that has a 3DS demo unit with wireless turned on and keep going there
Asda is pretty much the sole reason I managed to beat the first quest.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Awesome, isn't it?!
He has all the puzzle pieces too, but for some reason, he's only level 5....
He'll always be a level 7 to me!
Haha, it really was a great surprise. Is this something that people have had happen before?
