If you could live or visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Right now, there are so many places I'd rather be. ;(

The two places I definitely want to visit are Los Angeles and Japan. Nothing will change my mind on those two. Japan is a place I've wanted to go to since my aunt came back from there with loads of anime/manga goodies (which at some point went missing/broke, sadly), including the first Pokemon and Hello Kitty merchandise to hit the UK.

Los Angeles is a more "recent" thing. Well, I kinda want to visit America in general - I've had this idea for a big roadtrip for some time now. ^^

I would love to go to two different places:

Japan because its the home of gaming. I would love to see the sights and go to many different historical landmarks. The culture interests me a lot. I specifically want to go to Tokyo for no reason, maybe to see the cluttered streets at night and to try the food.

The other place I would like to explore would be Canada. The reason I want to go there is because I have received this message from a cousin:

Kyle, wondered if your Mum is my cousin. Her name is Karen. If so you visited us in Vancouver B.C. canada when you were a baby. Please tell your Mum, I'd like to hear from her. Mickey

I would really want to meet up with them and talk to them, I haven't seen them in fourteen years and when I did I think was 4 months old or something. I still have some of the currency too from the last visit so I'll give it back to them! :P

Japan, Japan, Japan...I remember an old thread and think that was all I could read for miles....

Anywho! For places I'd like to go. Well there's other parts of the US I'd like to visit. I've never gone past Illinois so somewhere further west, as in the coast. I know a couple people who'v passed through Texas and they say it's so different from here. But I guess it's not too absurd to say. I've been to northern New Hampshire and even that feels much more quaint than here, even though this area isn't too crazy.

Canada I wouldn't mind. The one place that's always spiked my interest is Vancouver. I've seen movies filmed there and read up on it a bit. They're high up north and have palm trees in certain areas...wtf! It also seems to never get too crazy temp wise either way which I think is cool. Nothing in the 70's or low 30's.

Russia I wasn't too crazy on the thought of. Not til I read up on their wilderness. If you take all the cool parts about Canada's wild life and amplify it by a hundred you get Russia. There's a girl I worked with who's over in St Petersburg right now doing school stuff she loves it. She's told me how heavy handed the mob and the military is around there which makes me not so pumped to think about going to. Language problems also wouldn't help.

I could say England?...but ehh not really. People in the UK are miserable and everyone who's talked to me about it wants to leave. And the idea of everyone packing a shank around, weather as good as mine with a smog cloud to cover the city AND the possibility of the 28 days later rage virus break out. Well that's just a deterrent! All kidding aside maybe northern England from pics Daisy once showed me seemed nice.

Then lastly I'd like to see Australia. I have a calendar I got as a gift with pics from all the different states. It's a pretty place and has different looks! I don't hear much about any of the states other than Queensland and Victoria but they all have a distinct look which would make it worth the run around.

I'd like to travel anywhere that's available. I love seeing other cultures and environments, it's hella awesome. I mean, we all live in a little community where everything is how it is, but when you are put outside of that community, everything is completely different. Nothing you stood for back there helps you now. It's like cleaning off the slate.

I'd love to visit Japan. Yes I know, everyone wants to visit Japan. Well damnit, I didn't take hella classes not to go there! xD lol My opinion is to learn the culture and language first, it's not totally difficult as everyone says it is. I want to see what everyone makes a big fuss about =]

I'd also like to visit Spain, and various places in Mexico. I'd like to see sorts of Mayan and other indigenous ruins. The History of Mexico class that I'm currently taking is pretty damn interesting. It makes me want to visit my roots xD lol

There are so many places, like South Korea, France, China, England, Australia, Jamaica, Italy, Canada, New Zealand, etc.

I better start saving up my money xD

As for me im happy where im living ATM which is in Adelaide Australia!!

But im planning a contiki tour in 2011 around Europe so thats going to be Awsome!!

its like 46 days starting and ending in England but you go Around Europe and im hoping to save enough to do the optional Egypt tour!! so thats going to be Amazing and then maybe a couple years after that maybe a tour of the US!!!
