Lithuania!
Saw it on the Amazing Race last week, and now I am in

I have an amber necklce from there given to my on my 10th b-day from a couple that lived down the road from us. They were from there

Beautiful

I'd have to go with London. I never wanted to see it til this year. Then again, I didn't want to see amsterdam either til I came to the Org.

How about Australia?

tokyo, japan.

i never wanted to go there until i saw that food show on the discovery channel...I think it's called Without Reservations or something like that....anyway, now I think I would enjoy it.

Stymie said:

DO IT!!

of all the places in europe i wanted to see, that was always middling on my list, but it's my favorite place in the world now.

ZombieKitten said:

Actually, I've always wanted to see Australia but the length of the plane ride gives me panic attacks.

Stymie said:

it's a bit boring, I admit
we are thinking of flying to NYC next year, with a Tokyo stopover, but I'm a bit scared of going there now, my friend couldn't find anyone who spoke english when he arrived and ended up spending his first night sleeping at the airport

Stymie said:

You must go!

I've been blessed with having been to a few major cities (Munich, Hong Kong, Paris, Bangkok, NYC, San Francisco, Frankfurt, etc. etc.), and London is by far my favorite of those cities. There's an infectious vibe to the place I can't quite pinpoint, and it's packed with museums, history, and a certain charm you'd never expect in a city of its size.

However, I've never been to Amsterdamn or Tokyo which are cities on my short list to see. I'd also like to see Warsaw (Lukasz, you there? ), Edinburgh, Seattle, and Brighton among other places too. It's really great to get lost in another culture for a while--especially when the one you live in (and believe me, I love being American, but...) is so plastic sometimes.

PARIS

Damn that looks like the castle I will one day own

If theres anywhere I would go overseas and travel to it would be some European country or Asian country....I don't want to go to some other generic English speaking country like the US or the UK as the whole culture etc is pretty much the same. The whole reason for me traveling is to absorb new culture, not just variations of my own. I want to be forced to attempt to learn a new language to get around and at least clue on if the locals try ridicule me for trying

Hong Kong

my ex lives there and loves it

I don't know. I always want to see everywhere.

Chicago.

Stymie said:

why Chicago?

abigail05 said:

cause Ivy lives there

minneapolisgenius said:

Same! For me it's more a matter of priority and how I can afford the travel and time off.

Stymie said:

I'm actually in Chicago ALL the time...but only for an hour or so at O'Hare.

Romeo, Michigan. I am the Bullgod!

But I understand where Zombie's coming from. Some places unexpectedly become more of a priority for you based on your coming across information you'd not previously known.

For so long I attached Croatia with images of some desolate, war-torn region. But I recently saw pics ...







I'd LOVE to see that! And I'm looking for a large print of that last photo for my living room wall.

Stunning photos, BTW, Zombie.

Lammastide said:

thanks! I found this person on flickr who took photos of Lithuania from the air - I'm gobsmacked!

My parents will be travelling in Croatia on a walking tour in the next week or so - I also had no idea it is so beautiful! Next week on Amazing Race they are going there I think (we are only up to week 5 or something here )

wow ..it looks beautiful Charlotte

oh and when I was in the plane last year, I flew over the Province of Astrakhan, which was the weirdest and coolest thing I ever saw

look it up on google maps!


totally desolate stretches with salt lakes and nothing much, for 1000s of kilometres

ZombieKitten's laundry room, JustErin's pantry and Monigram's root cellar. These are a few places I would travel to see...

RenHoek said:

why?



they have tiny awful unfunctional ones here

ZombieKitten said:

cuz it would be closer to you than I am now... and it's not a cliche like your bedroom...

RenHoek said:

show me YOUR laundry room and I'll show you mine

ZombieKitten said:

Awwww shit! I smell a pho-to-ho your laundry room comin' up in this bizzitch!
