Just a little question

[prometheanflame]

One year ago, my dream was the travel the world. I don't know when that will be possible again, but when we are able to leave, I want to visit every location on my wishlist.

I've only traveled to Egypt to see my relatives, so tell me about the places you have been. What is the culture like? Where are the best attractions? What about the food?

I lived in England when I was younger.
And we traveled around Europe a bit

I remember England was a lot like here, really.

I have family in Japan and I used to visit them pretty regularly, so I have to put that on the list. the culture is a bit different from Recollé. it's a mishmash of fast paced city culture and old traditions. every step is ancient history and there's so much to see, so I really recommend it. and the food is second to none!

I've been all over Europe too. unesco and everything... and I think my favorite place is still France. I can't get enough of the architecture, and the food is just... wow.

I'm jealous though, I haven't been to Egypt before. it'll be deja vu when I finally go since I studied it so much.

I'm from Seattle. We have excellent coffee and seafood. There's so many landmarks in my town. I'm not sure where to start.

...I have relatives in Egypt too. However, I've never actually been there myself.

What's it like?

[crudest]

paris was fun!
hong kong was good too
london's a classic

where's on your list, mo?

A lot of places! Mostly traveling around Europe when I was a kid... Paris was kinda overrated. Prague was nice.

And of course, I'm from Stockholm. It's my favorite!

I went to Egypt once, to see the pyramids! And then we went to Hurghada. I really liked it!

I used to go to Japan to visit my grandparents when I was little.
I remember not liking the food very much...
But that's probably because I was really young.

But I used to live in Japan in my memories so I remember a lot about Kabukicho.
Or that version of it, I mean.

i've lived all around the country
plus germany and south korea
but idk how much that really counts for cultures in those places
the culture's pretty much the same across all military bases no matter where you are

What places are on your wishlist? Maybe we have a few in common, you know.

As for myself, I've traveled all over the United States. I was born in New York City though. But due to my parent's enthusiasm over me taking full advantage of my talent in tennis, I've been following the junior circuit throughout my childhood before returning to New York to finish my high school career and ended up here due to a sports scholarship.

And my dream is to go to England, France, China, and Australia someday. Japan too, to visit my counsin's home country. I heard they make great treats! Maybe Canada too!

I've never been outside of the United States myself, unfortunately; most of my life has been spent in Recollé, though I did leave and spend my years in university in the Northeast. Charming places, if entirely too cold for my liking. My family is Russian in origin, but I've never been there, personally. Perhaps I'll go see it for myself once we can leave this place again.

How was Egypt, through curiosity?

I grew up around Los Angeles, and I've been to Chicago and Florida and some places like that. The only place I've been outside of the US is Japan (mostly Sendai, but also Tokyo).

Um, the culture there is . . .
I'm not really sure how to describe it succinctly. But some good places to visit in Sendai are the Akiu onsen, Osaki Hachimangu, and the aquarium. It's famous for beef tongue, which I was scared of eating when I was little, but it's actually really good.

In Los Angeles, I would say the food and culture are both fine, and I like the Getty Center and Disneyland.
