I'd like to go to China and the US. In China I want to visit Shanghai, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan, Tibet. The US has lots of places I'd like to visit. In particular I'd like to meet some bible-bashers, some rednecks and some cowboys.

France gets boring quite fast, and the people are awful, yet we go there every single year. ><

I'd love to go to Myanmar, I read a book about it a while ago. It was about when it still was called Burma. The landscape and culture sounded so beautiful. It has probably changed a lot since then, but I'm guessing that in the Shan-states there is still a lot of that culture left.

I dunno, I went to France last year for a week and I would love to go back. There was so much to do and see there. Especially the Louvre, I could spend another 2 or 3 days walking around that museum.

Eventhough we go every year, we never went to Paris. I'd love to go there once.

We usually go to local fishermentowns, cute villages, and go sight-seeing in the mountains and stuff like that...

My girlfriend's dad is from there, so if the Junta ever ****s off I might get to go and see his part of the family. Until then I'd stay away - if you do go then sure as hell don't go out in public with a camera or the military will think you're a journalist, shoot you and claim it was a 'stray bullet'!

Oh, and call it Burma. Don't call it Myanmar because that's the name the military regime gave it and they're a bunch of twats.

Fuc|<ing right!

For me it would probably be :

Germany/Belgium - for the beer
Sweden - for the ladies
France - for the food/wine
Switzerland - for the view
Scotland - for the scotch
Netherlands - need I mention why?
Brazil - for the parties

i'm now really regretting I didn't have the time to get over to burma while I was in asia; I would have made it just before the protests broke out. Hopefully the situation will change within the next four years (won't be traveling much while i'm finishing my degree), so i'm remaining optimistic that I'll get there within the next few years.

Hahaha, well pointed out. Taiwan's not part of China and the Chinese are just being tits when they claim it is.

One of the girls in my office is from Taiwan and she pointed out that as China claims Taiwan is part of China it has to let Taiwanese citizens go in and out of China pretty much as they please, whereas Chinese citizens tend to find it difficult to get into Taiwan because Taiwan says it is not part of China. So bonus points to the Taiwanese.
