Get your kicks, on route 66
Hey Folks.
It's Friday evening, which provides no reason why I shouldn't make a blog. A real blog at that, since yesterday's was a confuddlement of random and unnecessary stuff. So, how was my day today? It was... good I guess. I mean, it started to rain again, I sold my shares for Economics, completed my English essay and learned some vectors in maths. F--U--N.
Oh, and I am very very excited to inform you all that my braces will be off on December 3, 2010. Yay. This means I can start looking normal again. It also means that I won't have to spend half an hour brushing my teeth every day, and the awkward flossing positions will be over.
And the pain will all be gone and I can finally eat again. Yay.
This also means that I can travel to Hong Kong and not look like a clown. Actually, speaking of Hong Kong, many of you may or might know that I am travelling to Hong Kong at the end of the year, I think on the 8 December. Yeah, so I have two weeks of holidays post school break up, then I go to the freezing cold and terribly dry climate of Hong Kong for 5 weeks, and come back with chapped raw lips, an extra layer of fat on the stomach, and a whole lot of cute souviners! Yay - joy!
I guess I should be excited. In a way I am, but you know, I really, really want to visit the other wonderful places that this earth has to offer. It seems that whenever I go on holidays, it's to China or Hong Kong. Actually, these are the only places that I have ever been regarding travels overseas.
So, this got me thinking, and whilst looking at photos on flickr, it came to me how many places this world has to offer, no matter how insignificant or neglected they may be. So you know what? I decided to compile a small list of places that I will Most Definitely visit while I exist on earth.
OK. So...
1. SWITZERLAND
Why Switzerland? You may ask, well, I thought the pictures say it all. Not only is Switzerland home to many of the beautiful landscape that you experience in this picture above, it is also home to many wonderful and scrumptuous pastries that I just can't wait to sink my teeth into.
2. NORWAY
Okay, so you probably have gathered I'm a real sucker for nature scenes. But look at that waterfall? Doesn't it just make you want to steal those people's boat.
3. GERMANY
Okay, so naturally I want to go to Germany. This country, in fact, is probably the most likely country that I am to visit in the near future, as HOPEFULLY I am going to go on exchange there next year *crosses fingers*
Castles and architecture are big things in Germany. However, most likely the reason I will visit Germany is to experience the culture and drink lots of beer. Oh, and I actually want to improve my german too.
4. KANAS LAKE, CHINA
This lake is so beautiful, that I just want to jump in that water now. I know that this is not a country, moreso a place, but it is the ONE place in China that I most desperately want to visit. It just kind of sucks that it is really really cold there.
5. CANADA
Yup, another Nature Scene. But honestly, if you're heading to Canada, you can't miss the Rockies. It's just so beautiful.
6. USA
If I were there, I'd be pissing myself with fear, but it would be stupid to not visit this place. It's a work of art, with millions of years of sediments building into this landform to form the beautiful rocky outcrop it is today.
Yellowstone National Park: This place isn't so much for its flora beauty, but for the sheer mass of fauna that flocks here every spring.
7. SANTORINI, GREECE
Ahh... Look at those beautiful buildings.
8. LONDON
I have to hit the city scene once in a while, don't I? Oh, and I see the spot where they filmed doctor who! XD
9. VIETNAM
When I first saw this in the Top Gear Special, I was instantly infatuated by those amazing rocky things. I honestly wonder how they formed.. I'm guessing Volcanic Plugs but I could be wrong.
10. NEW ZEALAND
Yup Cindy, you must take me there
WHAT IS THAT PLACE CALLED? I need to know desperately
Ok, so unfortunately my mum is going to kill me very soon, so I need to cut this blog short. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed looking at the beautiful places I'm most likely never going to visit. If you have any fantastic places, be sure to add onto the list. XD
