Inspired (Not stolen :wink: ) from Freds thread.

Iv'e never been to Prague, I have been told that I should.

I would love to visit Rio de Janeiro, especially during the Mardi Gras.

But an absolute must for me is Tokyo, the Japanese are generally a quiet bunch, although always polite and turn into delightfully enthusiastic nutters when pissed. More importantly though the Japanese have some habits that you and I would find bizzarre, I just think that a week or two in Tokyo will be a real experience. Anybody been before?

Love to do Reykjavik cause the thermal pools/springs etc. look amazing and would also love to do Kathmandu (Nepal) and Thimphu (Bhutan) as both look really interesting.

Rome

Rio de Janeiro

Buenos Aires

Going to do Rome this year I hope. Can't wait

I've always wanted to go to New York. I'm hoping to go at Christmas.

Would love to do Vegas and LA too.

Rome is a great place! Love it there!

And as Lady said, Reykjavik seems like it would be an awesome place to visit.

I don't know why but recently I've been wating to visit somewhere glacial, maybe in Norway. Perhaps just because I've never been anywhere like that before.

I'd love to go to Prague as well. My dad told me it's like a more beautiful and more civilised Amsterdam - which was fantastic when I went. Would like to go to Madrid again too.

I've been to New York but I was too young to remember, thats always appealed to me.

Iceland is great but I really wasn't that keen on Reykjavik. It's a bit grey, concrete and about of 1/3 of the population live there or in the suburbs.

All the best things about it are really outside of it - like the thermal pools, springs and waterfalls. The north is nicer, like Akureyri - and weirdly warmer. Plus you get all the above but with less tourists and a much nice landscape.

Shame you can't fly direct -Unless you live in Faroes- but internal flights aren't too price or long.  

I'd like to go to Kathmandu, Hong Kong and New York though.

No specific towns or cities, I just want to go to New Zealand.

If I didn't have commitments I'd quite happilly pack my bags tomorrow, get on a plane to New Zealand and never come bacl.

Tokyo - yes yes yes, someday.

Rome is great - loads of sights all in walking distance of each other, nearly always sunny, even when I went in Feb (was snowing on the way to Stansted and then Sunny in Italy.

All the nightclubs are in one area called distaccio (sp?) which means the city is still quite nice at night with little cafes and bars and stuff.

I climbed Franz Josef in NZ, was great fun, really enjoyed it, other than the hole in my boot and falling down a slope of ice.

1) Los Angeles

2) Miami

3) Tokyo

4) Dubai

South America, Vietnam and Cambodia (although plan to do this next year), New York, Barcelona, Vegas, west coast of Oz and Iceland. Not necessarily in that order.

Hong-Kong is ace, I spent 2 weeks there and loved it, Kowloon and the New territories are also worth visiting. I stayed near Kennedy town, can get Trams into the city for about 10p. had to climb 800 steps to the hostel through a small forest which was fun.

LA is a hole.

I know but the culture interests me.

St Petersburg

It has none.

Edinburgh is top of my list in the british isles.

Buenos Aires is pretty great. With about six teams someone is playing at home almost everyday - and I mean day - they often play in the middle of the afternoon. Except when the superclassico is on the day after you leave as then nothing happens at all in the run up. Bugger.

And it's still pretty cheap. Just don't bother if you are a vegetarian... Steaks with chips and salad are a £5 (or less) and they are huge. And the ice-cream is great too.

In fact Argentina is generally brilliant. I want to go back!

Thats your opinion.

I love film so visiting LA would be a dream for me.

I also love Hip Hop so visiting South Central LA would be ace  :D

New New York

Been there, awesome.

I love film too, I even went to a studio and sat in on a recording of a TV programme. But the place itself is truly shit and superficial based on my experience.

They did give me a whole day back though as I flew in from Fiji. I arrived before I took off by quite a few hours. 8)

No you haven't

I actually thought New York was a bit shit too to be honest. Might have been because I was skint and couldn't do anything except eat pastrami sandwiches and walk around.

If I was going to go to America I'd love to go to San Francisco. I'd have quite liked to visit New Orleans before the flooding happened too.

I am not very well travelled at all, at some stage I want to go to a few cities in Europe. Barcelona, Milan and Amsterdam are high up on my list.

America has never appealed to me, but if I had to choose I would say New Orleans.

Unlucky, i'm planning a bit of travelling around there towards the end of the year after graduation and some money gathering in the summer. Always wanted to go and using the opportunity to do it before i have to join the real world of work.

Oh and i'd like to go Rome, Stockholm and Amsterdam in Europe, but i'm in no hurry

For me Rome.....or anyware in Italy,i love the food,the culture,the weather....but not the football!

San Francisco was a real let down for me, full of junkies and tramps, La is a fucking pit. Hong Kong was quite cool in a totaly odd sort of way.

Mexico City is hit and miss, its like marmite. love or hate it. I really liked the different cultures that made up Auckland and I also really liked Bangkok.

post transplant on my hit list in no particular order
St Petersburg
Manila
Vancouver
Buenos Aires
Santiago
Panama City
Bogotoa
Caracas
Athens

Loved Barcelona, a weekend was not long enough.  Salvador in Brazil was another great place to visit.  In the UK I think Norwich is very underrated!!

Reckon i fell down the same bit did you see any broken bits of fake rolex?

sorry, no - i was busy clinging on for dear life.

I never really understand New York - it's a complete dump

Even 5th Avenue is a bit of a shithole, so shopping can't be that great - besides you can probably get it cheaper on the internet

So give me another reason to go?

The states has never appealed to me at all.

Im suprised no-one has mentioned a Safari/Kenya/Tanzania - possibly the best holiday I have ever had.

The only problem with Americans is that it's full of them...

I just went around New York with a lot of fake tan on and a large rucksack on - it was so quiet everywhere we went

I thought Athens was brilliant, for visiting purposes at least.

I've only been to four places outside of Europe but, as you've listed two of them, I will give you my considered opinion that Vancouver is spectacular and Manila is not (unless you like chaos and pollution... many people do at least like the former).

i have always found chaos in a city a good thing, manila is often compared to mexico city and i fucking loved it there. one day one day......

Prague
Barcelona
San Francisco (despite Mex's experience)
Seattle
Charleston (South Carolina)
Stratford on Avon

You old Bard PUMBAA!

Hong Kong is a big one for me I've only been there in transit.

St Petersburg is fantastic and well worth a visit in the summer.  I'm not one for architecture but there is a whole street of palaces that are breathtaking and you can get a fantastic meal for pennies.

St Petersburg
Florence
Havanna

Timbuktu and Belgrade  :|

Is Timbuktu real???  :?

 Yep its in Mali....which is a fascinating country.

  I've always fancied going to Samarkand, well anywhere in the Kirgizstan, Tadzhikisatn area.

A little anecdote for ya:

A few years back my brother and Sister came to visit and their flight connected trough Kuala Lumpur.

So my Sister says to me brother: "I always thought that Kuala Lumpur was a fictional place, like Timbuktu"

Stupid bitch.

:soapy tit wank:

Canada and Eastern Europe interest me. Been to Gdansk, Krakow, Prague and Riga so far and all are great in their own way.

Brussels has a stunning city square which is well worth seeing and I need to see more of Germany.

Australisia has never interested me, however New Zealand could be done.

Going to Madrid (for El Derbi) and Barcelona next month which I am really looking forward to.

Victoria Falls is breathtaking, if you ever get the chance to go, do it. Wait until Mugabe is out of power first though.

I wouldnt mind doing:

Athens
Milan
LA
Sydney
Hong Kong
Tokyo
Dubai
Baghdad  :wink:
Rio
Bangkok
Kuala Lumpur

I quite fancy Stockholm too.

Stockholm is amazing Ralphy, as is most of Scandinavia!!  Denmark & Sweden are brilliant countries, Norway's good too, but stupidly priced.  So I'd go back to Sweden and Denmark but probably not Norge!

Meh, Iv'e been to K.L. a few times and the only good thing that I have to say about it is the food.

After watching Jonathan Meads Magnetic north i'd like to visit Lubeck in Germany,it looks very impressive and its a bit off the beaten track as well.Cordoba and Seville in Spain also appeal,sure my bloke wouldn't mind being dragged around old mosques all day  :wink:  

Of course anywhere is better than bad old Didcot!

Hopefully going to Seville later this year. would love to go to

Madrid
Rome
Milan
Perth
Rio de Janiero
Buenos Aries
