Around the World in 60 Years...

Was reading someone's blog just now and saw some pics of her recent Hong Kong trip. I couldn't help but reminisced about my previous Hong Kong and taiwan trips. Hai~ It has been so long since I travelled overseas.

The more I think about the fun I had when I was in Taiwan with the Tummy Gang, the more desire I have to go on a holiday with my frenz again. It doesn't really matter if it's the GMH clique, Tummy Gang or poly clique. I JUST WANNA GO OVERSEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singapore is way too small and I can say I am someone rather adventurous. I dun wanna be confined in such a puny island for the rest of my life. Widening my horizon is what I wanna do and I wish I can visit several countries during my lifetime. Given my less than healthy lifestyle, I set my lifespan at 60 years old. That means I have about 36 years to go to fulfill this dream.

So which are the countries I wanna visit??? Erm... Let me think... I definitely wanna visit Taipei and Hong Kong a second time. Taipei was real fun the other time round so I really crave for that experience again. As for HK, it didn't quite turn out to be what I expected the last time I went there but I know it should be more enjoyable if the company is right. So I am willing to give it another try. Since these 2 countries are relatively cheaper compared to the rest of the countries I wanna go, I hope I can accomplish this before going Uni or started working.

Being a Chinese, I believe it's a must to go China as well. China is pretty big and I am not really very enthusiastic bout visiting the rural areas. My most likely destination in China should be Beijing and Shanghai. If possible, I wanna cover the whole of the Great Wall of China. Lol!!!! This will be some remarkable feat. Let's pray I would still have the legs to do it.

On the topic of Asia, I can't possibly give Japan and South Korea a miss. For Japan, Tokyo and Hokkaido certainly!!! South Korea wise, I think I need to consult Ah Du. I know nuts bout the country except its capital is Seoul. Nonetheless, the korean language itself is worth me checking out the country. Still on Asia, even though I dun quite like Thailand, not going to Bangkok is still rather weird. If I am not mistaken, it was voted the favourite tourists' city last year or early this year so I guess it should have some drawpoints. This should be about it for Asia coz the rest of the countries aren't as developed. Fmus1 can stand living in shabby conditions but I can't. Just imagine how much I would panic and run about in the middle of the night if a cockroach or whatsoever insects come flying or crawling close to me. EEekkss_____

Moving to another continent, Eygpt is the only African country that I have some interest in. Don't you just find the pyramids fascinating.... I wanna witness it at close proximity and be in awe with one of the greatest wonders on the face of earth.

Moving again to Europe, there are quite a few countries that I will absolutely regret not visiting. First up will be England. Being an avid Man Utd supporter, it's a no brainer that I have to go Manchester one day, by hook or by crook. Die die also must go.... The other city in England would be London, the capital. Just gotta go there for the sake of it or maybe bcoz of the London Bridge. Hahaha!!! Across the channel, France is also a very beautiful country. "Bonjour!" I wanna wake up in Paris and have croissant for breakfast...

Not far away, there is Italy. When you talk about Italy, Rome and Milan come up to your mind. At least for me, that is what it is. Rome for its Vatican and the gladiator arena; Milan for its luxury brands. How can we even forget about Mendi's favourite Spain! Erm... Dun really know a lot bout Spain except for Barcelona and Madrid so these will be the 2 cities I wanna visit. Lastly for Europe, it will be Holland, Amsterdam. A city full of vices - prostitution, gambling, drugs and whatever have you. I am so gonna get my hands on the marijuana brownie. Thinking of it makes me drool~

The last country on my wishlist is America. To a certain degree, I have being influenced by its culture and naturally so I have intentions of paying it a visit. America is also kinda big ya. No chance I am visiting all the states and cities. At the moment, I can only think of Las Vegas, LA, California, Miami and New York.

Wow!!! This is certainly a long and expensive list of countries. Well... I have an estimated 36 years to make it happen. The only stumbling block is whether I can live that long. Only god knows...
