jumpy 0 #1 April 17, 2004 Alright well i'm in Year 12 this year (last year of high school in Australia) and I'm thinking of taking a year off next year to travel since I really don't have any idea what I wanna do at Uni. I was hoping for the destination idea's since alot of people here seem to be rather well travelled. So be greatest place you've ever been to? Places you didn't enjoy particularly? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowfaller 0 #2 April 17, 2004 Munich Germany is a really fun place, I was only there for 3 days and then took a train to Amsterdam for another 3 days. If I would have had more time I would have loved to spend more time in germany and also would have liked to see more of the Netherlands. Several friends of mine have spent months in Germany and loved it. I didn't really warm up to the city of Amsterdam until the last day I was there, just stay away from the "White Widdow" or you'll find yourself in a coffee shop playing w/ a penny for several hours Chris PS. I noticed the redundency(sp?) of this post and didn't bother to edit. Working 8pm-8am after being used to days turns me into a zombie around this time. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akarunway 1 #3 April 17, 2004 Working 8pm-8am after being used to days turns me into a zombie around this time. ================================ Sure it ain't some of that white widdow stuff you brought home. ==================================== Actually the Phillipines is a really cool place. Just don't hang out w/ the Red Budda to long. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Kennedy 0 #5 April 17, 2004 Find Margaritaville, and report back on it's location. You have to do the Spain experience, but I'd say save that for a semester of study abroad (exchange student). Places to visit, well, IMO London sucked and was over priced, but visiting for a day or two is a requisite for world traveller status. Edinburgh was a great town, loved my time there. One place I haven't been and still want to get to is southern Germany and Austria. Any warm island is obviously worth a visit. My one suggestion for any foreign travel destination is try to know someone there before you get there. It avoids tourist problems and gets you into the flow much quicker.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
