Best 5 places you've visited...and top 5 you'd like to visit

[empy]

any input from Tsikot's world travelers? maybe i can get some vacation ideas

please only name 5. no laundry lists!


Top 5 places i have visited

1. Taj Mahal, Agra, India - the ultimate monument of a man's love for a woman. fantastic artwork with the inlaid marble and the gold spires. it was hot as hell when we visited (April), so you might want to go during the winter (from Nov - Feb).

2. The Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA - did this when i was young, but i cannot forget it. the power of nature is awesome to behold (what one river can do given a few tens of thousands of years), and the Arizona desert is simply breathtaking.

3. Paris, France - the City of Lights is very well-named. there is so much history within a 20-mile radius, and shopping lives up to its reputation as the fashion capital of the world. oh, and the women are teh hotness :naughty2:

4. Buenos Aires, Argentina - a very cool blend of Latin America and Europe. the wimmenz are even better than in Paris, but they are a little snobbish :snob: i liked this place mostly for the nightlife - the Argentines know how to party!!

5. London, England - a little bit different than Paris. the nightlife and the food sucks, but if you really get into the culture, the history, and the sights, you'll never want to leave. oh, and on the Underground...mind the gap!! :lol:


honorable mentions:
New York, NY, USA
Niagara Falls, Canada
Maui, Hawaii, USA

i also would like to go to Jerusalem and Mecca. when i went to London and Paris i was absolutely awed by the amount of history that i saw there...baka hindi na ako makapagsalita when i see the place where three major religions began.

what's the best place to go to in the Philippines? Boracay pa rin ba? or Palawan or someplace else?

[VtEC]

a) melbourne

[nicolodeon]

what's the best place to go to in the Philippines? Boracay pa rin ba? or Palawan or someplace else?

IMO Palawan, Panglao, Tubbataha, Pagudpud and Batanes. Masyado ng...."bilasa" (personal opinion, no offense meant) ang Boracay. Hinde na sya kasing linis, kasing quaint at kasing ganda nung dati. Although maganda pa rin naman, masyado ng commercialized.

top 5 best places i've visited:

a. San Francisco, Cali. - sarap ng weather

d. Davao, Ph - i really love the place.
e. Sydney, Aus

b. Athens, Greece
c. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (hehehehe. need i say more?)

[empy]

btw...nakapunta na pala ako sa Palawan. it was during the late 80's before there was any kind of infrastructure. outrigger boats pa yung gamit namin...it was such a pain in the ass. pero enjoy din once nandun na kami. i guess it's easier to get there now and more convenient to stay.

i don't remember why it didn't make my top 5. perhaps i was just a kid and couldn't properly appreciate the beauty of what i was observing...

[Radical!]

1. New York City. A side of the U.S. that's the most unique. You go to any city in the U.S. they are all the same. New York is the best.
2. Nice, France. Most romantic place I've ever been to. Got a glimpse of the Monaco Grand Prix. Rolls-Royce class vehicles were a dime a dozen
3. Prague, Czech Republic- 2nd most romantic city I've ever been to. The city looks like it was patterned after a fairy tale.
4. Vancouver, Canada- Everything is 20 minutes away. Snow, beaches, party strips, and the most culturally diverse cuisine.
5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The aura of being in a completely different world. Very unsafe due to theft and hold ups but the danger adds to the flavor of the place. Beautiful beaches, people, infrastructure, food...wow.

Places I want to see (too many to mention) :
South Africa (the Northeastern Side)
South Korea
Kyoto, Japan
Istanbul, Turkey
Palau
Maldives
New Zealand
Scandinavia
Eastern Europe
and many, many more!

From my limited travel experience, here's my take on this:

1. Panglao Island, Bohol, Philippines - this is one of the best place to go here in the Philippines. not overcrowded and super-commercialized like Bora & Galera but the beach is to die for. not to mention the low cost of accomodation & food over there.

2. Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit (aka Bangkok or translated: The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn.), Thailand. This is a food heaven as far as a chili head like me is concerned! Even the street food is very good and clean to boot. The palaces & temples are worth the visit.

I would love to go to:

Milan, Italy (design heaven)
Ghey Paris, France
Nurburgring, Germany (all certified car fanatics dreams of driving around The Ring at least once before they die)
London, England (very rich in history & culture)

actually, I would love to do a cross country drive across Europe someday (London to Rome sounds nice).
