    Well I suppose I should begin cos I started it...

    1- France- Like the Merivingian said of the language, "It's like wiping... with silk." Also I just wanna see what the Montmartre district is really like.

    2- Canada- I've met so many likeable Canadians, they're sort of like us really. Plus half of them speak French.

    3- England- To go see the Premier League and my beloved Leeds United.

    4- USA- Celebration 3, well duh. Also to catch up with relatives from my dad's family.

    5- Singapore- Ditto relatives from my mum's family. Plus the Chilli Crab's a special.

    Kiwiland! - I'd just like to go see if it's as picturesque as everyone says it is.

    Ireland - rellies

    Italy - Just because I want to see the Tower of Pisa, gondolas and all the rest of the tourists attractions.

    USA - I'd like Celebration III too. And I want to go to Disneyworld. I went to America when I was three and I can't remember a thing about Disneyland,

    Singapore - I actually went there early this year with my dad, mum and my little sister. Man, they have BIG bookshops! And all they do there is sleep, shop and eat. That's the kind of life I like.

    Good idea, casual.

    3. Eqypt - Haven't been yet, and I'm crazy about their ancient History. Must see it before it's gone.

    4. England - I've gotta see London before I snuff it, it's on my to-do list.

    5. Italy - Rome is such a beautiful place!

    I hadn't posted because I hadn't made up my mind on my definitive five.

    So...

    1) Australia - I haven't seen enough of it!
    2) North America
    3) UK
    4) Europe (Most of it)
    5) Antartica (er, ditto everyone's reasons. [face_blush] )

    Can I include already visited ones? (Like some of the below I lived in when I was six, but I can't remember it).

    1) Italy (Rome, history, culture. To taste snails again. To see the Collesseum).

    2) Greece (just the history of the area)

    3) Britian (All of it, because otherwise I'd take up the next two slots)

    4) Antartica (Would just be cool)

    5) Bali (apparently it's got a lot of trash, but I'd still like to see it)


    (If I can include already visited places as an adult then I'd include New Zealand as no. 1. Such a beautiful, beautiful place and such nice people!!!)

    1. New Zealand
    I've been told it's like Ireland on steroids

    2. Italy
    Ever since I saw Roman Holiday

    3. The Maldives
    Have you seen those islands??

    4. Japan
    Just for the total culture shock

    5. Equador
    My sponsor child is from there, so it's kind of interesting to me

    Marvin, I went to Las Vegas and went on the Borg Experience and Klingon Encounter. After Klingon Encounter I went to Quark's Bar and got a little drunk from drinking a Borg Sphere, Saurian Brandy and a promenade ale. Then I went on the Borg Ride. :D They have an excellent museum in there and also a very long timeline of the whole Trek series. Definitely a highlight of my Vegas trip.

    I love Star Trek. [face_love] I even have 3 of the Trek films on DVD. Definitely want to see more episodes of DS9 and Voyager (and btw, Generations was shown nightly on Spike TV in the USA and I saw many episodes).

    1. the Middle East in general. I'm lumping it all in one entry because there's a lot of places in many countries I want to see in the region.

    2. France and Belgium. I want to walk the Western Front.

    3. America. Just so I can realise how good I really do have it here in Australia.

    4. New Guinea. This little black duck wants to hike the Kokoda Track.

    5. Ireland. No particular reason, other than a few pint sized ones.....
