To which countries do you want to go?

To which countries do you want to go?
I have opened a thread recently in which I asked you to list the countries in which you have been.

http://atheistforums.org/thread-17892.html

But since this forum is in english and most members therefor are probably american and most americans mostly dont leave their country I thought I`d just ask for the countries and places you really want to visit in your life.

I`ll start myself again:



Seoul:

Because I heared that the place is one big constant non stopping party and that the people live like if there was no tomorrow and they aint as unfriendly towards foreigners as the Japanese.

Macau:

Is a former Portugese colonial city in China. It supposedly has some really great historical tourist attractions, but also is the only place in all of China in which gambling is legal and therefor the place can be compared to Las Vegas - only bigger.

Shanghai:

Dont know if true, but several people who have been to Shanghai before me have told me that it is one of the most awsome places in the world due to it being the modern cultural hub in China.

Australia and Brazil:

What both of these have in common is that amongst Germans they are the most popular for overseas tourism and emigration. So I guess I am just running with the flow to some extent, but I really want to visit both countries and see some of their main attractions.

Israel

Has been a must see for me for a long time. guess it has something to do with history aswell. I really want to see Yad Vashem, but I am not that interested in Jerusalem - which sounds boring. Tel Aviv is also on my list because I love multicultural places. And it will be interesting to see how the people there receive a german.

Vietnam:

Basicaly a food thing

Etheopia:

Rich in cultura and history, I basicaly want to visit that country mainly for it`s historical sights.

Kenia and Zambia:

I would like to visit those two mainly for their natural sights.

India:

Because everyone wants to visit India one day.

I'd like to go to Canada. Seems like a nice place; Montréal, in particular.

Also, a few places in the states: some people there I need to catch up with.

Saudi Arabia to study
India to help the poor
Africa to educate children
Chile to set up an orphanage.
Allah says in the Qur'an:

ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ

"Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided." [Surah 16:125]

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “The most complete in faith are those best in their character, those who are easy to socialise with, and those who get along with others and others get along with them. There is no good in the one who cannot get along with others and others cannot get along with him.” -Tirmidhi

Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Number 6307:
'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: “Truth leads one to Paradise and virtue leads one to Paradise and the person tells the truth until he is recorded as truthful, and lie leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell, and the person tells a lie until he is recorded as a liar.”

Re: To which countries do you want to go?
Sweden - I hear it's nice.

Germany - I have family there.

Finland - To piss off my friend who lives there and doesn't want me to visit.

Spain - I've been before, but I was only 4 years old and don't remember it. My brothers own a flat in Valencia that their great-grandmother left them, so I'd like to take advantage of the free accommodation!

Denmark - I've heard wonderful things about Copenhagen.

Norway - Looks lovely.

Channel Islands - Mainly for the boat ride.

Isle Of Man - See above.

RE: To which countries do you want to go?
Here's my list:

* Canada- My mother had a plan that, if, during the Iraq War, I got drafted, I'd move there, probably to Toronto; Apparently, it's so similar to Chicago that even Hollywood can't tell the difference. That said, given the fact that I have an Autism Spectrum disorder, I'd probably be ineligible to join anyway.
* Cuba- Goddam trade embargo!
* The UK- A good portion of the music I listen to comes from there; Hell, my job hinges on the music industry of the UK.
* Ireland- I hear it's less of a Catholicism-ridden Hellhole now.
* Basque Country- Ever since reading Shibumi, I have been fascinated by this culture.
* Spain-Well, at least to see The Prado.
* France-Because why the fuck not?
* Germany- Because a big part of my ancestry comes from there. I'm thinking of at least 3 cities: Berlin (duh), Hamburg (adopted home of the Beatles and The Reeperbahn), and Dresden (home of my favourite modern philosopher, Schopenhauer)
* Sweden-Because another big part comes from there.
* Russia- Sure, it is a shithole for the common man and always has been, but, well, at least it's given us some of the greatest novels ever written.

If my doc ever clears me to dive again... In no particular order...

Fiji
Aruba / Bonaire / Curacao
Belize
Costa Rica
Honduras
All over the Carribean
Micronesia (Chuuk [Truk] lagoon)
UK (for Scapa Flow)

There's a lot more, of course, those are just the ones I want to see before I get to old to do what I want to do there.

I was thinking about visiting Iraq just to figure out what happened there today.

I'm really not fussy I'll go almost anywhere and be ecstatic about it. I'd definitely like to go to the US at some point. If I were less of a coward I probably would have ventured some more of Europe already.
