Around the World in 80 Books discussion

If I had my way, I'd see the whole world. It is very hard to select which ones I want most to see. If I had to choose, I'd probably most like to see:

France
Italy
India
Egypt
China

If you could pick the top 5 places you would like to visit (but have never been to), what would they be?

I also would like to see the whole world, but if I need to pick top 5.. it would be

1. Iceland (trying to save money right now, so that I could go there next summer)
2. Peru
3. Morocco
4. Japan
5. China

1) India
2) Arctic because I want to see the "aurora borealis"
3) Mexico
4) Scotland
5) Italy Russia

Though I live in Italy I have never travelled a lot in my country and so I want to travel all along Italy and see all the beautiful places and monuments we have here.


edit: oh my god, I have forgotten Russia!

this is hard! But if I have to pick top five places.

1) Peru
2) Zambia
3) Australia
4) India
5) China

I too want to see *everything*! But, if I have to choose five:
1) Estonia
2) Guatemala
3) Latvia
4) Cambodia
5) Morocco

I would like to visit India, I have read so many books about I feel like I have already been there.

If I had to pick 5, it would be:
1) Iceland
2) Mongolia
3) Turkey
4) Finland
5) New Zealand

Wow, I've never really thought of them in a "top 5" sense. Here goes nothing! I will probably think of something else in 10 mins and go "Oh I should have put that!" lol

2. Ireland
3. Australia
4. Costa Rica

Jamaica or somewhere in the Caribbean Islands.
England

What is, and, where is "Prague" ?????????????

Did someone seriously say what is Prague???

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic. Very historic and beautiful city.

LONDON!

Well, I've visited several that I adore and want to go back to (England-especially Bath, France, Ireland, New Orleans. . .). But here are my top five that I've never been to:

- India
- Scotland
- Morocco
- Turkey
- Southeast Asia (okay, this is cheating a bit perhaps, but I'd like to do a big SE Asia backpacking trip)

I've only ever seen snow once in my life and I hated it but despite that I've always wanted to see Siberia or Antarctica. I would also love to visit Morocco and Central Asia would have been a fascinating area to visit before Al Quada and the Taliban came along.
