I really want to go to Europe and just go all over the place. So much history and things to see. Alaska is on the list but that will get knocked off sooner than later. Chile, Australia, and specifically Rome.

The middle east. Safely of course. I love the culture in the middle east, the food, the people. IF there wasn't any fighting going on I'd be living there

if there wasn't any fighting it would still be a shit hole. not in regards to the culture, people or food, but i knew a kid from afghanistan and i asked him what the weather was like and he said it gets over 100 in the summer, below 0 in the winter, and they get sandstorms during spring and fall. besides that it would be pretty cool, although i wouldn't eat the food, and the people kinda smell. but the culture is pretty interesting. that was a little racist, sorry about that.

your right though, the history is probably the only cool thing, the culture, weather and everything else is pretty much just shit, even without the fighting.

nope, but my friends dads job sent him all over the middle east in the last 5 years or so. from what he said, even if it were a safe place, its not the type of place you would want to visit over the many better places in the world. i also know a geologist who did work around the middle east, afghanistan, iran, etc.. and he had pretty much the same things to say about it.

tru bud, i was just curious cus i read a few books taking place in afghanistan before the russians and taliban and shit and it didnt sound that bad, and i have quite a few friends from lebanon and morocco and egypt and shit and those places actually sound fantastic (i know, its not the middle east but its still close so i didnt think it must be that different)

Alaska probably, going heli skiing would be so much fun there, and it seems like such a chill place. it would just be a shit ton of fun all around.

oh yea, you're right on that one, Caribbean is pretty much just left over slaves.

In Greece you should show that history the same respect the greeks do, take building blocks from historical sites to use on your home, tag up whatever else has been left to crumble, pretty much anywhere can be used as a toilet, the only places that get attention are those that bring in tourist money (by places I mean place)

only place id really consider visiting would be afghanistan, geologically its pretty awesome, the weather would probably make it a pain in the ass to live in most areas, but id consider visiting it if i had already been to alot of other places and wanted something new. the majority of the middle east still has a fucked culture, war torn or not.

ya yo some parts of lebanon are fuckin beautiful. i have a friend who lives in jounieh (i think thats how its spelled) and my brother actually went there this summer with him and he had a great time. and the night life is unreal, like the clubs are crazy, like apparently they dont have dancefloors, they just have tables and lounges everywhere in the club and ppl just dance around their table and shit. and theres this one club called skybar apparently its fuckin siiiick.
here are some pics from my buddy's facebook:

I am surprised Asia hasn't been brought up more often.

Two places I must see before I die: Laos and Thailand.

I would love to go to Portillo, Chile in our summer. It would give me the opportunity to ski in the summer. And the Andes Mountains look beautiful.
