Philippines
May 19, 2009 2:02am CST
The title says it all. Which country have you always wanted to pay a visit? I live in the Philippines and the country I've wanted to visit so badly are Taiwan and China. I want to visit those countries because my idols live there! I would love to see them in person and eye to eye if possible. I would love to see Liu Yi Fei, Hu Ge, Eddie Peng and Esther Liu in person.. that's my biggest wish so far. I also want to pay USA and Australia a visit. I don't know why.. Maybe because I find those countries really interesting. How about you? Which country have you ever wanted to visit and why? Any reasons would be welcome here on this discussion. Happy myLotting to everyone!

I have always wanted to visit Scotland. I have a brother who now lives in Scotland after marrying a Scottish gal there. They have been here to the US to visit a couple of times, but after seeing the pictures of where he lives and hearing about that area, etc. it makes me want to visit there someday. I would also Love to visit London and Paris someday, and have considered going to the Phillipines just to enjoy the wonderful Fillapino food as well.

United Kingdom is a good country. It's where the King resides, right? I don't really know much about UK but I can still remember I wanted to visit that country in the past when the British Pop band S Club 7 was still present.

I have always wanted to visit New Zealand even when I was still a kid. I don't know why but I'll probably know once I get there. In Asia, I want to go to Japan, I heard it's so beautiful and clean there and people are so disciplined. But most of all, I want to go back to our country, Philippines. There's really no place like home...

I've done a lot of traveling in my lifetime. However, I haven't been able to travel for the last ten years because of financial problems. I went to Europe in 1973 and I've also been to Canada. The country I would like to visit that I never have been to is Australia. I used to have a pen pal who lived in Brisbane and I would like to see her. I would also like to see the kangaroos and the koala bears, maybe even get to hold one. From what I have read, some parts of Australia is like the American West. I love the American West and I would like to see it for that reason. They have big stations (or ranches, as we call them) and a lot of cattle, sheep, and horses. This is where Keith Urban and Clinton Anderson are from, lol. Kathy.

Whoa, you've almost toured the world already! That's so cool! I haven't been to anywhere outside of the Philippines.. but I would love to travel the world too. What happened to you and your penpal? Did you get to see each other?

Oh I see.. I had a friend too and she's from Canada. We met (not really met) each other online. We exchanged e-mails until we became really close friends. I didn't know about Instant Messaging back then. But suddenly, we lost contact .. Oh how I miss her.

I never have met her. I think the last time I heard from her was 1978. I wrote her last but I just never did hear any more from her. I don't know what happened. It might have been because postage went up. You never know. Kathy.

If you visit China, the people here will welcome you warmly.There're some places you must go,you can consider these cities: Beijing,Guilin,Shanghai,Nanjing and Hongkong.China has so many beautiful and historic places.China will nerver disappoint you,your visit will be full of happiness!

Some city in Europe. A beautiful city, natural scenery, romantic places. A city like Paris, Venezia, & Monte Carlo, that is top on my travel plan list

Go to that place, doesn't afford as much money as people imagine. There's always backpacker style traveling which can cut very large amount of money we need. For now i just need googling to find out the cheapest cost for hotel, transport, etc. By the way, you commented almost on every respond people made for you. That a nice attitude, may be that's why myLot give you 9 star. Keep it up

I've always wanted to visit Australia , i just think its a beautiful,interesting country and the accent is gorgeous! Im from Scotland(UK)so the only thing that would put me off would be the really really long flight there. But hey, Im 17 so still have plenty time to visit! I've really wanted to go now though more than ever, but thats only because my idol is currently there touring with her new album - P!NK ! x

I want to visit Venice, the beautiful city of Rome. The city fascinated me even from my childhood. I don't have money to visit there. So, I turned to read more about the city. Also, I have taken a decision in my life that I won't visit any place unless there is a reason to visit that. I mean I won't go for leisure trips. This is taken after the bad experiences after one of my trips. So, I don't know when will I go there. Thanks for responding to my discussion.

Wee Venice! I've always loved that city ever since I played Tomb Raider 2 on the Playstation platform. There's a stage there called Venice and there are a lot of places where you can go boating.. is it true? Based on what I know, there are a lot of waters there.. Am I wrong? Thanks for responding too. Take care!

I see. I agree with you when you said that the air is really clean in Canada. That's what I think too. Plus the places are really beautiful. Happy myLotting and thank you!

I pretty much want to go anywhere I have not been. I am a little afraid of too much political or civil unrest, but for the most part I welcome any new experience. Not to evade the question. I would like to see Australia.
• Philippines
20 May 09
Oh me too. Australia! I want to visit that really huge dome there.. pardon me if I'm wrong, hehe. Thanks for responding and welcome to myLot!

i would love to visit japan. eventhough it is a small country the discipline of the people is great. there are lot of places to visit. the only threatening part is the frequent earthquakes which their people are used to. other than that it is a great place to visit. then i would love to visit australia, its too a great country!!!!!!!!!!
• Philippines

Yeah.. earthquakes often happen on other countries like Japan and China. That's the only downline.. Last year was the most recent earthquake on China.. and as far as I know, it was really worse. Thanks for responding and welcome to myLot!
