Places you'd like to visit

Oh I think they are normally boring too.

that there sounds like the best idea yet. I am gonna have to talk with him about that idea. I am so curious.

 

The northern part was. All of north Africa and into what is now the Middle East.
Israel was greener even in Jesus' time.

As the last ice age retreated into the history books, the warmth pushed northward away from the equator. This gave the entire region a period of paradise on earth. Lasted many years. But the desert dunes eventually grew tall enough, they blocked the rain from reaching as far inland as it once had.

This allowed a rapid advance of the desert northward. Populations had to move. Just like they did back in the dustbowl days of the great depression in the 30's.

Those who didn't have to move were not pleased.

Dresden is pretty high on my list. Plus there are certain areas in the Czech Republic that I would like to get to someday. Namely the areas my ancestors came over from.

 

I would love to visit India, Nepal, Peru and Morocco.

 

The dog is not in trouble. As the shutter snapped, he was howling. That's dog talk for "Let's do it", or "Pay attention to me", or "I'm excited", or "Get off your ass and take me for a walk." When really excited, Max will bark rather than howl.

 

Germany
Jim Morrison's grave
Stonehenge

i want to go everywhere, to be honest

 

i've already been to all 50 states so prolly only other place i wanna see is columbia and amsterdam lol

 

sports history places.st. louis where the olympics were held 104 years ago.some of the baseball stadiums from the past.sports have sadly changed like most other things.

 

Here are my favorites:

1) Vostok Station, Antarctica (78 S, 107 E, elevation 11,444 ft). The coldest place on earth. Colder than the South Pole, and higher in elevation. Colder than Medicine Hat, if you can believe that. Sometimes called the 'pole of inaccessibility' -- another name for the end of the world. However, no traffic jams. The Russians originally set it up as a place to send opposition politicians after Siberian started getting full.

2) Rwanda, Africa. Like South Bronx without the taxis. The blacks killed 800,000 of each other in 100 days in 1994.

3) Madre de Dios province, Peru. Western Amazon rain forest. The province name translates to "Mother of God". Enough said.

4) Kerguelen Islands, southern Indian Ocean (49 S, 70 E). Straight down from Medicine Hat. An attempt was made to colonize the place after the sealers left. The sheep survived, the human survivors were evacuated after a 19 year colonization effort (1912-1931). The 100 km/hr wind never stops.

5) Elephant Island, Antarctica (61 S, 55 W). Like the Kerguelens. This is where the Shackleton expedition survivors lived under their overturned lifeboats waiting for rescue for four months (April to August 1916), eating raw seal blubber. When they were rescued, they were sent to France, to die on the Western Front in WWI.

6) Compton, California. This is where the bad blacks land when they get run out of Watts. If you're white, do not drive here after dark. Not even with door locks, a full tank of gas, good tires and new fan belts.

7) Northern Mali, Africa. This is where the bad blacks land when they get run out of Timbuktu in central Mali or Tamanrasset, Algeria. The water table is 600 feet down. Some camels apparently survive here, if they're lucky. Not many.

8) Svalbard, Arctic Ocean (80 N, 15 E). The Russians, with Norwegian permission, run a coal mine here, built to Ukrainian safety standards. The sun comes up for six months, then goes down. The miners keep warm while underground.

9) France, Europe. A beautiful country, except it is full of Frenchmen.

10) Eastern Panama, South America. A historian writing the history of the Canal determined that the eastern portion of this country is too disease-friendly to support human life. The few indigenous people in the area live on islands slightly offshore on the northern side of the isthmus, where the winds keep malaria and yellow fever bearing mosquitoes down to a livable level.

 

easter island.
egypt.
greece.
and i plan on booking a holiday to normandy this year.

pretty much everywhere in the world has some areas of historical significance. i would love to see them all. havent even come close to exploring the whole of england yet!

 

I want to visit England and New Zeland.... it's so beautiful there

 

North Korea. Specifically the USS Pueblo in Pyongyang.

That's one crazy country they've got there.

 

Yeah. The North Koreans got Pork Chop Hill, too. I hope it's doing them a lot of good. I suspect they might have to ditch their dictator and his ideology before they can get an economy running. In the meantime, they might have to live on who knows what? Chinese generosity? Maybe care packages from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam?

 

In no specific order:

Great Barrier Reef
The Black Forest
Amsterdam
Tunguska
Chernobyl

 

I want to visit the Mediterranean sea during the age of the Egyptian empire,
see some of the battles between the Arabs and the Byzantines and Romans

Check out India in 3000 B.C.
Tibet in the 14th century.
Also I would like to South America and Mexico before the Europeans Landed
and the United States and Canada

 

everywhere in Europe, New Zealand and Australia... also Kenya.

 

To the O.P. and to everyone else in general, I dont mean to be a dick when I say this but ANY place/location/island/peninsula has more history then North America. Think about North America it has about 300-400 years of history while even Greenland lets say has a ton more history to it.

Where I come from (eastern europe) they teach you the entire history of your country and we have an extremily long history that goes way back to before the ottomans even. You are tought that in school as a mandatory subject, its very hard too and its not the greatest, most pleasant thing to study but you need to take it. In North America history is optional and even then its very easy since its not a long history.

P.S. Historical wise I'd love to go to Peru Machu Picu, Easter Islands, United Kingdom Stonehedge, wherever the aztec pyramids are (mexico and central america).

 

Oh, you mean....North America? It stops at Panama, BTW.
