Ooooh! Me loves this new posty!
Some of you may have already seen my interest in traveling by my post in "Interests and Hobbies." If not . . .
I hate anywhere tropical, like the Bahamas or whatever - how boring, sitting on a beach doing nothing all day.
I'd rather go back to the "motherland," and find out all its history and quirks. Really I'd love to do a full tour of Europe, but I'll have to break it up throughout my lifetime.
I've never left the province of Ontario, but when I do I'd like to travel to:
Northern and Southern Ireland
See my mom's birthplace in Belfast, tour the castles and ruins, find a few pubs and share a Guinness with the locals, etc.
England and Scotland
See my aunt in Kirkoddy, see all the lochs and beautiful landscapes in Scotland (hmmmm . . . maybe bring my paints), London = shopping!, again, all the historical buildings and ruins and gravesites and churches and whathaveyou, including the tower of london and the Wax Museum in london, plus any old libraries of old english texts I can find
Netherlands
Mostly Joure and Amsterdam, the former my dad's birthplace. Gotta pick up some clogs as souveniers! See the tulips and historical places (must find tour guide who speaky ze Eenglish)
Germany
BEER! Well, besides that, the castles of Germany. Plus there's this area there where these villagers carved things in the shape of bears, like hat stands, etc. I have to research it a bit more . . . Maybe experience Oktoberfest, and anything else that interests me.
France
Ahhh . . . Paris! The Louvre and shopping and just the whole atmosphere of France that I've heard so much about. Have a coffee at a little cafe and chatter with the locals in broken Frenglish.
Italy
Super duper historical - the Colosseum and the Parthenon and Venice with it's gondolas and pretty masks for the festivals (again, another souvenir I must obtain). All those ruins and history and the CHURCHES! The vatican , and Tuscany and . . . and . . . there's just too much!
Greece
Pompeii (hope this is in greece, I haven't researched it in it's entirety), and more historical ruins and such, and the cheese and the wine and more interesting tours
Hong Kong
Shopping - entirely. I won't eat their food, I don't care how much it would add to the experience. Raw fish and live mini octopus are not in my food vocabulary (although I will try rice - white rice, that is) Probably just a day or two here.
Australia
G'day mate! I'd love to see all the wildlife and go scubadiving in the reef - once I learn how to scubadive. See the nightlife and visit the Sydney Opera house.
New Zealand
How could I not visit the beautiful country of New Zealand? Since I've watched the LOTR, I MUST see this ethereal landscape that they filmed it in. I'd love to take a horse ride through the fresh open country air! Mmmm . . . country air.
Belgium
Just for the hell of it- find some chocolate and other historical - based stuff.
Egypt
Purely for the pyramids, then I'm outta that war-torn area of the world
Prague
There's this little shop near prague (and all its churches, historical buildings . . . .you get the picture) that sells these hot apple turnovers for cheap. Must find hot apple turnovers . . .
United States
Everything . . . I don't care how long it takes me. New York, San Fran, Hershey Pennsylvania, California - you name it. Not only for the night life but to meet other people and find cute little antique stores where I can spend money on quality antiques (I swear, the Americans stole all the good antiques - no offense to Yanks out there, its true. No nice antiques up here in Canada, I tell you) See all the castles of America - Vanderbilt mansion for one. I know it's unrealistic but I'd love to have a house like that!
Well, that's all I can think of. Phew! What a long post - sorry guys. Congrats to those who actually read it . . . I hope I don't have any typos. This journey will probably take the rest of my life to fulfil. . . but who cares? That's why we travel . . to experience new and old things and to learn from the past and present.
Thanks Snow for making this thread - I'm sure it's gonna be popular, and it'll be interesting to see where people want to go. |

Being surrounded by so many strangers made Rowena nervous- she liked her privacy. But she wasn't going to let any fear show. Standing straight, she looked around the Great Hall- a few people met her gaze, but turned away from her piercing sapphire stare. A few wore badges on their chests, but she had no idea what they meant. She definately noticed a much older girl, laughing at something that Rowena couldn't tell- she was also wearing a badge, but different from the rest. Before she could read it however, she heard someone tell them to line up.
Looking in front of her, she saw a wizard approach the whole group of first years with a scroll, a stool and a hat. He placed the stool in front of them and the hat on top of that. She gulped, but quickly composed herself. She knew she would be one of the first to be sorted, but what was she supposed to do? She stood, and waited for the fateful calling of 'Araneorum, Rowena'. |

Professor Dinas lead the new first year students into the entrance hall - he then left and joined the main contingent of the school in the Great Hall.
All four houses seemed to be ready... and of course only two chairs at the Head Table were unoccupied; his own, and the new headmaster's.
And so he summoned the first years to form an orderly, single-file line in front of what appeared to be a raggedy little wizards hat, many years past its used-by date. |

Hey Fantasy, can I have one set of blood red silken robes- with matching coloured hat & silken cloak, and a pair of size 4 magically expanding black leather boots. How much would that be? |
