As said many times now - Grand Canyon Niagra falls - really cool, waterfalls are something which make me just stop, cock my head slightly and go "ooh...". Switzerland, and N India have lots of amazing waterfalls. Temples on the Ganges - Amazing view, not only is it a pretty site, but it's a good site that represents India. You can guage quite a lot from seeing it in a city. It does smell, and don't swim in it though. Taj Mahel - one of the few man made things which actually amaze in real life as well. For some reason I meh'd at Rome's Roman stuff, the Eiffal Tower and NY's skyline but loved the Taj Mahel Las Vegas - nothing else like it on the planet, lights, noise and bustle everywhere. Lovely. Things I really wanna see : Antarctica, C Africa, Australasia and S America - big I know - but that's pretty much three continents I have yet to step into  Egypt - the ancient stuff, (see Taj Mahel). So many people rave about this and I haven't bean. Dubai - google what's going on every month or so and the building work that's coming up is pretty immense. I ended up there years ago way before the boom of today and it really was like desert and huts etc. I'd love to see it now.

People always used to say to me 'You must see the Grand Canyon, it's amazing', and I just thought. 'I've seen pictures. It's a hole in the ground. Big whoop.' But when I finally saw it though it really was breathtaking. From the 'car park' we stopped in it was just a couple of minutes walk to the edge, but you can't see it right until you reach it, and then it just fills your vision. The compunction I felt to just run screaming into the abyss that day is something that's always worried me! What a way to go though.

I'm very luck to have been to quite a few of the places that have been suggested. Personally though I'd be extremely happy if I never set foot in Las Vegas again, but each to their own.

The standard of living varies so much out there with some people living in the most abstract poverty to those who live in a life of extreme luxury. I would not want to live there though, certainly not in Cape Town or Johannesburg as the place is not safe. I know numerous people out there who say that all money is good for in SA is to buy taller, stronger fences and thicker bars for your windows. You are very aware walking about even during the day that the place is not safe. It's a real shame because the country is gorgeous. I went to Kruger back in June and absolutely loved it. |
