Geography questions-- If you could study , travel etc where would you go in..

Central America?

South America?

Austrialia
New Zealand
Etc etc--- you get the idea ?

I am putting together lists of countries and hot spots for my geo thing for ds.

 

New Zealand when do we leave.

 

At our house, we play the "When we win the $250m Powerball, we're going to....." which is a hoot because we do NOT do lottery tickets!

If money and time were no object, I'd love to visit all over Japan - Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Then I'd go to NZ and see all of it! Then Australia, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, with maybe just a peek at the outback. I wouldn't mind hitting some Pacific Islands - BoraBora, PagoPago, the Phillippines, Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti... then over to Hong Kong and Singapore, Beijing, Taiwan, Calcutta, wouldn't mind seeing SriLanka too. I'd do the European tour - all the capitals, probably starting with England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales then over to the continent. Then the Middle East, and then Egypt, down the east coast of Africa and Madagascar, and around the Cape and up the west coast, ending up at Gibraltar which I would have seen from the Spain side when I was doing Europe. That leaves all of the North American and South American continents. In South America, I don't think I'll want to do Carnivale - If I won't do Mardi Gras in New Orleans (not even on a bet!), I certainly won't do a bigger badder version in a foreign country! But I would love to see some of every country in S.Am. especially the ancient ruins, Macchu Pichu and whatever, and the cowboys in Argentina. I wouldn't want to miss Easter Island. And then on up through Central America and Mexico, especially the ancient ruins. Then I could spend several years quite leisurely going through every state of the US... Did I miss anything??? LOL

Oh, not sure at all that I want to go to Antactica, but when I'm doing South America, I might head south for a little ways....

 

I didn't realize NZ was so popular. People think my hubby and I are strange that our big 20 year anniversary plan is to ride motorcycles around New Zealand. I can hardly wait. Too bad it's over seven years away, LOL!

 

I am actuually going to AAA to get pamplets on different countries and such.. so now to get a bit more detailed...
what would you expect to find on a trip to the country (s) you chose?

These are actually questions I am going to use in my assignments btw. Where would you go. What do you expect to see, what do you want to learn about at said place .. etc.

 

Faroe Islands

 

okay I just found how easy it is, I had never heard of Faroe Is. but googled it and up came my info! Thanks! This is going to be a breeze!

 

I would go to Mexico and then to South America. I really hope to be a missionary to somewhere in Central/South America in the future. I enjoy meeting people from all cultures, but this is where my heart is drawn. It also help that I speak a good amount of Spanish.

I think it would be wonderful to go to every country (if none were dangerous) and meet people and really find out what it is like. The world is so fascinating.

 

The FOOD! I'm interested in the FOOD! LOL!

 

I would go back to China. There are so many things I would love to see, not just the typical tourist spots like the Great Wall and Forbidden City. My daughter is Chinese and I would love to re-travel the path we took while in China to adopt her as well as tour the countryside and visit the village where she was born.

 

I have to say that after following my brother and SIL's journey to adopt their son from China, that's one of the last places I'd choose, lol. It looks wonderful and fascinating, but the food alone gives me anxiety.

My husband is even more of a wimp, after adopting our son from Guatemala he says he won't travel anywhere they don't speak English, haha. Sort of limits my options. :lol:

But, I'm not real consistent, because I really want to go to India. I can eat bread and curried chicken the whole time, right?

 

They speak English in India You can smell curry cooking in our kitchen here at least 3 times a week. Gotta love Indian food!!

 

We would go to Venezuela, SA, only because that is where DH moved when he was 6 and then grew up there. I would like to see where he grew up and meet a bunch of his childhood buddies that are still around!

 

I would love to go to Japan! DH spent a year there when he was in the Marines and I'd love to go there and see some of the things he talks so fondly about.

 

I would love to travel everywhere around the world,but if I ever get the chance to really go somewhere and spend some time it would be Ireland.My maternal grandmother ancestory is in Ireland,so I've always been fascinated with it.And I looove Riverdance!

 

I've been to Iceland a couple of times, and it's a fascinating place, but I couldn't stick the cold for more than a few days - and the Faroes are very similar. Take plenty of warm clothing!

 

I've been privileged to visit many countries (over 70) on business, and I definitely have favorites. India is one of them - a great place to visit but an awful place to live. If I had to choose somewhere to live for an extended period, it would probably be along the shores of Lake Geneva in French-speaking Switzerland.

 

If I could go only one place for an extended time, right now I would choose South Africa. I have a friend there, and I'd so try to stick her into my suitcase and bring her home with me! LOL But the way she describes it, it sounds fascinating!

 

I'm from Australia and I'd love to see New Zealand for the view and go back to Europe for the history.

 

Just the way I like it! Of all the places I have lived Scotland and Alaska are my favorite. Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma were my least favorite.

I wanted to get up to Iceland and the Faroe Islands when I lived in Scotland, but didn't have the funds. I'll get there someday
