| A bit of everything... | May 27, 2007 |
...Some of you are not fair!! You tell us continents rather than countries!:)
My three:
Mongolia - for it's remotness
Singapore - for its cleaness
Easter Island - just for being nosy and I don't think many people go there
Is anybody going to work out TOP 3 from all the postings?:)

| Hmmm...so hard to choose | May 27, 2007 |
Afted doing a LOT of travelling in the past, I would love to visit countries, some of which unfortunately I can not, with my passport (Israeli)
Iran (which fascinates me- my daughters' names are both Persian and Hebrew- Shiraz and Sahar)
Bosnia (which I visited for a month in 1999 and adored- wonderful people, gorgeous country and great food)
Mexico
I see a lot of interest in my current home, Canada- Let me know when everyone is coming! ... See more Afted doing a LOT of travelling in the past, I would love to visit countries, some of which unfortunately I can not, with my passport (Israeli)

| My first one's going to be a repeat, but | May 28, 2007 |
- Egypt. I went on business, saw a lot of public works, and never got the tourist trappings or did the "anthro" that it deserved.
- China. Done a lot of bits and pieces of the Silk Road, but always stopped short.
- I think I'll leave number 3 open (since I began with a repeat, it strikes me I'd repeat more than one place...)

Ghana (actually, anywhere in Africa would do, but I used to study a kind of drumming that comes from Ghana)
Akom? Kple? I had the good fortune to listen to a talk on Ghana drumming by J.H. Kwabena Nketia, and I swear he had the whole lecture room dancing! I know how you feel, and what you mean. (I copied his tapes, too!)
That same conference I met Cambodian musicologist Sam-Ang Sam, who gives lecture-demonstrations on Cambodian music with his wife. He plays sacred music, and she dances the prayers -- it's a kind of "performed translation". (One prays just by watching). Theoretically, according to her, any sacred text can be danced, and she demonstrated with the Our Father. I was so impressed that I wished I could go to Cambodia... and the following year I got an interpreting assignment there!
So I wish, I wish, I wish...

What a great question! My three would be:
- Italy - been to many other European countries, but not there yet! I want to go and eat great food, drink fantastic wine and soak in the culture
- Japan - because it's completely different from what we know
- Hawaii - for the beaches, volcanoes and relaxation
In fact, I keep bugging my husband that I want to go to Hawaii and Italy. He's ... See more What a great question! My three would be:
