Oooh, I like this topic.

Top 3 places you would like to travel?
1. Germany. Most of my ancestors came from there, and I would love to visit it someday.
2. England, specifically London and Liverpool. I know it's pathetic, but I want to see Abbey Road and where the Beatles grew up. :oops:
3. The moon. Does that count? I've wanted to go to space since I was five years old.

Top 3 places you would not like to travel?
(This one's a bit harder...I'm only choosing these because they are unsafe.)
1. The Middle East.
2. North Korea.
3. The sun.

Top 3 places you have been?
1. Disney World.
2. China.
3. Minnesota. I don't get out much. But it really is beautiful there.

Top 3 worst places you have been?
1. Washington, DC. I loved the buildings, but everyone was rude, and it was way too crowded (there were two huge nationwide events happening the day I went. It was awful.)
2. Iowa. The entire time I was there, I was smelling a dead skunk, or cow crap, or pig crap, or chicken crap....it was unpleasant. I'm sure it's a wonderful state, but I wasn't a fan. As I said, I don't get out much.
3. I can't think of a third one. So I'll just say, a Boeing 777 on a 13 hour flight. It was MISERABLE. Too make things worse, we had a rough landing and I get motion sick very easily. It wasn't pretty.

Top Three Places I Would Like To Travel

1. Japan, anywhere in Japan. I love everything Japanese.
2. Great Britain, because I love their history and there's so many historic places I want to see there.
3. Paris, France, because the city just looks so cultured and neat.

Top Three Places I Would Not Like To Travel

1. Anywhere in Africa outside of South Africa. Although I would enjoy the continent's scenery, the rampant homophobia coming from that place is enough to repel me.
2. Middle East
3. Most red states of the United States (with a few exceptions). Until the social conservatives lose control over those states and their slew of homophobic legislation has been repealed, I will not go to any of those places (yes, I know I live in a red state, but I can't help it if I do).


Top Three Places I Have Been

1. Atlanta, Georgia. I went there when I was thirteen, and I had so much fun there that I'd love to go again.
2. Austin, Texas. I've been there twice. It's a really neat place and it certainly helps that it's super liberal despite being situated in a super conservative state.
3. San Antonio, Texas. I went there with the yearbook staff in high school and I got to see the Alamo, among other things.

Top Three Worst Places I Have Been

1. Bonham, Texas. I only go there to visit my half-sister and her family, but I don't know how she can stand to live there. It's so boring.
2. Carlsbad, New Mexico. Other than Carlsbad Caverns, it's a pretty boring town. There's not much to do there.

I would really like to go to Japan, New York (it's where all the super heroes are XD) and Newfoundland

I really don't want to go to Texas, Syria or India...I'm sure they're fine places, but I just don't want to visit.

I really liked Italy, Scotland and Amsterdam.

I really didn't like the hotel I stayed at in France where there was only one bed for four people or the time I went to Toronto where I had to sleep on some towels on the floor of the hotel room. I also didn't really like Mississauga because the bus drivers are rude to customers.

I'd like to do a roadtrip from Tokyo to London via China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Saudi, UAE, Egypt, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, France. I imagine this would take months.

3. Yorkshire. I loved Clifford's Tower, and the place with the replica viking village with the viking taking a dump was hilarious. There was also a nice train museum, and two other museums, one of which had a replica Victorian street. It was really interesting to see the York Minster, also. It looks much higher from inside.


Yes, York is a beautiful city. I've only been the once but I bloody loved it. Also worth mentioning is the amount of wonderful pubs that York has, too. :)

Did you not like Hull then? What was wrong with it? I fancy visiting, actually.
