Top 10 things to see?

In no particular order, I'd like to see:

Lucretia's knickers
Gandalf's knickers
costello_girl's knickers
bettie's knickers
...

*rereads question*

Oh, uh, the Pyramids. *nods*

Yup, the Pyramids.

Was that knickers or knockers? Easy typo.

I've been to Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Brussels. I'd especially like to see Prague, but I'd happily visit any of the other places on the list if someone else is paying.

My personal list would include Necker Island, Costa Rica, St. Petersburg, and Easter Island.

I'd also like to go back to Salzburg, because I got within a stone's throw of Mirabell Gardens and had to return to my group. That was the most devastating part of my trip to Europe. (The best part was the food in Germany. Who knew that Germany had good -- no, GREAT -- food?

Well, both, now that you mention it.

I just really like the word knickers. It makes me happy.

Knickers.

Yup, I'm sitting here giggling.

I've been to London, Barcelona, Rome and I work in Paris.
I would absolutely go to the other places listed but I'd add Bangkok, Thaïland (or any other place in Thaïland for what it's worth (especially the jungles)).
Oh and Edinburgh ! I just totally fell in love with the city when I went to the WD party last year.

I've been to three - London, Paris and Rome.

However, I'm too busy laughing that the top 10 this week, has Hereford (UK) in it. Hereford???? Even most UKers would be pushed to locate it on a map, I'd wager, and apart from cider and cattle, I can't think of one famous feature. I mean it'd be like listing Topeka, Kansas or Inverness, Scotland on there - lovely places, I'm sure, but top 10 in the entire world?!?

Incidentally, my current favourite location is Riga in Latvia. Stunning place and I adored it. But I don't want it to become overrun with tourists, because its lowkeyness was part of the attraction.

I take it these lists are created by readers choosing their own top destinations, which is why we're getting the odd lists? I know that my parents would probably have Inverness somewhere in their top 5. I've never been there myself, but they adore it.

Knickers make you snicker!


I've been all over the world. I hate traveling. While I would like to visit the British WD component, and the Canadiaians too, I would rather not have to go around the world to go around the world.
