My Travel Dreams

lately, i've been spending lots of time on the office computer surfing for places that i should visit. there are so many places that i want to visit but i think there are twice as many constraints!

i've decided to list the places which i'm thinking of visiting and the reason and maybe you could leave a comment and give me one or two reasons why i should or should not visit the place:

1. Prague in Sep because i think it's beautiful and the beer is cheap.

2. Riga in Oct because Latvia girls are hot... just kidding, i mean that's not the only reason why i wanna go there... anyway, pictures of the city on the internet seems pretty nice.

3. Athens in Apr/May is a must for me because i like to see ancient and historic monuments like those in Rome... and i would like to return to Rome as well.

4. I'm thinking of visiting Istanbul, Athens and Romania on a Balkan Pass because Istanbul is where East meets West and Romania because i wanna visit Transylvania and dracula house but this would require quite a number of days away from work and deprived of income. which means that the end of july or early august in 2006 would be a good time... depending on when am i going back to singapore.

5. i wanna go to monte carlo... but i can't think of a good reason to be there. coz i am not rich let alone filthy rich, which means i can't buy a house, car, yatch or a piece of land there.

6. i'll give the scandinavian countries a miss coz it's expensive and besides, i can opt to go when i'm older and richer and married.

7. give me a good reason to go croatia and budapest... i know that the seafood and beaches is nice in croatia but i don't want to go there just for that. if i want to go to the beach, i rather choose exotic places in Asia like Sabah, Sarawak, Maldives, thailand and do some diving as well. budapest will most probably be another prague...

8. i really really want to go to St Petersburg, but i'll need a visa the only way i can get a visa and visit the place is that if i join a tour group or get a russian to invit me to the country.

9. Eygpt will be nice as well. i can get to see the pyramids, the only original seven wonders of the world still 'alive' today. FYI, the other seven wonders are the hanging garden of babylon, temple of zeus, lighthouse of alexandria, a seven-wonder temple , some huge statue in rhode and another seven-wonder temple somewhere out there. <<http://www.123world.com/wonders/index.html>>

10. and there's always portugal and whatever it has to offer which means that i have no idea what it has to offer and the french, german, italian or swiss valleys and countryside.

is there any places that's a must-go which i have left out??? (btw, i've been to amsterdam, rhine valley, oktoberfest, vienna, venice, florence, rome, interlaken, paris, berlin and in 12 days time, barcelona. so please do not name these places)
