im a HUGE fan of Japan.
Like gaga, sell my pc to go insane over the place. Ive never been, i dont know WHAT to expect and i think that excites me more than anything else. The culture is so unreal compared to anything i am familiar with. The food, way of life, society, fassion etc. is all new. The way people conduct themselves, the language is so unlike my community that im just awestruck by the place. I might go and just hate everything about it, but as for your question, Japan fascinates the hell out of me.

China, mainly for its traditions and history/culture. Also - the poeple i have met from China are fantasitcally nice and friendly. Basically i have never met a rude, bad tempered or angry person from that country I am really interested in going to visit it one day, just needs stacks of money - cause its flippin enormous, and i am also bound to be sucked into some form of tourist trap!

Israel, want to visit so bad. A place, Jeruslaem, That has been around for thousands of years in one form or another. The history involve, Egyptian, Greeks, Romans, so many have had a place in history involving Israel. To see it face to face is my goal one day.

I've always been fascinated by Wales, how do people speak a language where 40% of the words don't have vowels in?

Seriously though, I'm interested in Russia. I don't know why, I guess it must be the history of the country. And I've always been fascinated by how the country functioned so well under Communism, considering it can never work.

South Africa, the rest of my close family lives there yet I haven't been there in about 15 years. It's wierd, being half-South African it's affected my up-bringing and my family values seem to have some distinct differences from purely British ones. My parents gave me a confusing start at school by using Afrikaans and Zulu names for quite a few things meaning sometimes people wouldn't have a clue about what I'm on about. My Dad likes to go on about it a lot and I really want to go there, to see the Drakensburg, to visit my only cousins on their farm in Empangeni(sp?) for the first time, I want to do the touristy things and climb Table mountain, make a detour and visit the skeleton coast in Namibia too. But at the same time I know that the S.Africa my dad talks of is not the one that's there now. It's definitely changed for the better overall, there was no way apartheid could continue, but all I get to hear about SA now is the crime especially in Jo'burg and Pretoria which is where my family are. It's scary, I know krazy scout and sycho_warrior will say it's not so bad, but it's enough to give me real concerns about going out there. I don't think I'd be street wise enough for SA to be safe.

Matabeleland.

Germany becuase they can get in alot of trouble and survive

A quote from Celso of That 70's Show:I gotta have that car,El Camino is spanish for The Camino

If I wasn't such a wimpy tourist (hate and cannot abide by lack of modern conveniences), I'd love to safari in East Africa while there still are free ranging wild animals and the like, or maybe go to the Amazon rain forest. But it will never happen.

I can't stand mosquitos either... more to the point, I am human mosquito bait. Put me, the only one clothed, in a room with 100 naked people and 1 mosquito and I will be the only person bitten.

For REALLY ancient civilization: Egypt or China first, then India.
For experiences in a different society and social settings: Denmark, the Netherlands, Brazil or Italy.
For raw / untouched natural beauty: Iceland, the American West, Kauai, New Zealand and Antarctica.

Super Mario Land!
No, seriously, I love Australia, because it has Koalas.


EDIT- MEIN GOTT! The 1st image I posted here that actually bloody WORKS!

Any country would go MINUS the population. Any place with rich nature.

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

that's such a great pic of Eskie and Mustang together...

Switserland they make chocolate
@ Rec Well hmm about the crime, it depends where you live, Jo'burg is bad I know, but the costal places and Freestate is better.
Apartheid ow well I'd rather not get into that, I guess its true what they say rasicim is what the current goverment say it is


Computers are machines that help use solve problems we wouldn't have if we didn't have computers!

Scotland

I've lived here all my life and still learn new things about it

rather more seriously, I want desperately to see Japan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Mexico and the Namib desert. I also wouldn't mind Australia, New Zealand, Kamchatka and Brazil.

the wife wants to go to Antarctica.
