true, travelling enriches life like nothing else really. Personally, I really want to see the Himalayas, to check out tibetan monastaries and to try and conquer some summits as well.

What would you see as a valid reason for travelling that's not 'for pleasure'?

I misunderstood that post for 5 seconds, but yes, that is a perfectly valid reason too.

edit: though I suppose that reason could also come under the 'for pleeeeeeasure' heading.

I'd like to live in another country for a while. I'd love to see what life in London or Melbourne is like. Berlin looks interesting too, as do Tokyo and Vancouver. That being said, I might be visiting Nagoya this summer (winter, for you guys on the Northern hemisphere), though that's just because my fiancée is there - otherwise I wouldn't spend any money on a 1-month long trip. Except, maybe, to Antarctica, I'd love to see the icy continent even if it's just for a brief period.

London is nice, i love the cloudy weather.
Berlin is interesting, just to walk around & sit at cafes
Tokyo is great, there's just so much to see and do..
I love Nagoya, since i was living in Okazaki, Nagoya was just a small train ride away...

I'd rather die that ride through life on someone else's coat tails. It's taken me 4 years to save the money for this trip. I work full-time in an office job and study full-time too.

whoooops. sorry man, I wasn't implying that you were a coat tail rider; just thought you had a generous family. Props to you for full time work and school and savings. My sig approves.

They don't have any; they're too busy spending their money on more pointless shit they don't need.

fucking parents i hate the way they feel entitled to spend my inheritance on living the good life. i would be substantially better off if my pares snuffed it today, rather than in 30 years.

people are so selfish

Domesticated: what do you plan to do in Norway? Which time of the year will you be here? Are you planning on seeing the midnight sun, aurora borealis, the fjords and shit?
Or is it just 1 day in Oslo "I've been in Norway, polar bears roam the streets and offer you pot when you exit the train station of Oslo"-type of "visit"?

Posted by Clovis on Oct-20-2009 04:05:

Fuck, there are few places on earth that I would NOT want to visit...

But on high priority when time and money are available would be:

Cook Islands
Eastern Europe
Japan
Nepal
Iceland
Kenya
India
Iran

I will freely admit that I am a hedonist and that 'human interest' places where you can experience abject poverty and disease do not appeal to me. However I have great respect for people like yourself that are willing to put themselves in these situations.

Obviously not all parts of India and Africa are like that - but I generalised for the sake of simplicity.

What can I say, Powaqqatsi was like my wet dream.

No way! To me, that would completely defeat the purpose of visiting a country. I am really, really looking forward to visiting Preikestolen and doing a fjord cruise. I will be there mid-year, probably around August. Any other time of year would be too cold for my weak Australian bones.
