If you could visit one country....
 

before you died, if you could live in a country for 6months, which country would it be.

No 'ifs, buts' maybes'.

What's the one country that fascinates you enough, makes you want to visit it, to experiencce it and all it has to offer, land, cultures, food, lifestyle, history: so much that you'd like to visit there before you die.

I'm really stuck on a few tbh. Need to have a serious think if I have to bring it down to one...... Though Papa New Guinea is set in my mind, apparently there are over 1000 different cultures in existence: to experience a smidgen of them, I think would amazing.

Russia, such a huge and diverse country with a really interesting history

Italy. I am planning to spend a few weeks there this summer already.

Russia would be great as well

America,although i have lived in NY would love to live there again.

wales

Not fancy somewhere a bit more exciting bb12?

This will sound crazy but was watching coach trip once as they visited St Petersburg, I got a really odd feeling that I 'knew' the place, it was really strange....So I say there.

Austria

France

Obvious reasons

I've always wanted to go to Canada and live in a log cabin somewhere in the snow :love:

Alaska.

Australia

I'd like to Visit England, live in America and Canada.

Ireland

Obvs Ireland to visit Karl.

This is cheating but Ancient Rome. I find it fascinating.

Thats one I would put up high on my list.

See........ there's something about your post. This 'inexplicable' draw to a country: for no reason really. makes you wonder about afterlife and such.

Confession time: me too. Alsakan whale watching trip is very high on my list: but hen I'm pulled between adding to the tourist attraction that will become the norm in future: thus endangering the very thing I loved.

See above.

Several friends had seen, conquered, come home and either stayed or returned: I'm not sure.


Uncle started off in Oz. Moved to NZ and has been trying to get me out there for years;.

(wonders if he runs a house of ill repute!!! LOL)



Are you sh*tting me here: have you never been to England? Soz: but I genuinely thoguth you'd been to concerts and festivals over here?

I'd love to visit the United States. :p

I'm very embarrassed to admit that I have NEVER set foot in Ireland.


Given that I worked for years in an Irish Pub, socialised heavily with a band called "Athenrye"... whom I loved dearly : I really should be ashamed of myself.

Can I possibly redeem myself at all in any small way by saying I'd love to follow the trail of ye olde irish lands via pony n trap:? ( genuine stuff : I would love that.....crappy weather an all)

Nope I go to all my concerts and festivals here, we get the exact same as in England so no point in putting extra costs on top of tickets and stuff haha. I will visit eventually, maybe in the New Year

fixed your post

Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. I've been desperate to see Tokyo every since I was a little kid. The place seems so vibrant, and just a nicer place in general than anywhere in the west. Plus it has all the advanced Japanese technology and stuff and ugh I just love Japan so much OKAY. :love:

Honeslty I thot you had visited Edin for NY... then it dawned on me that it was not you, but UKT - Ben - who enjoyed the 2011 into 2012 festivities.

Saying that though: am still surprised that you've not ventured to the festival in the SE - nip over - I swear on the moggies life that you'll have a absolute blast!! From an 'auld C U N Tues", late summer on the Cornish coast is brill.

:)

Japan. Just a weird, interesting culture. Would be hella expensive though, so maybe Sweden instead.

Finland fascinates me for some reason I don't quite understand. I just love reading about it.
