What? No Scranton?

/disappointed

Score! I got Grand Canyon and "Temptations of Las Vegas" (whatever that means.) So I get double points.

I'd like to trade them in for the giant stuffed panda with the cowboy hat, please.

11 and 14. Who wants to touch me?

I said who wants to f*cking touch me?!

I don't think it counts if you already live near one, or have been imprisoned there for a crime you did not commit.

Ah yes, the temptations of Las Vegas

Lord Brixton

But if I have a problem, and no one else can help, and if I can find you, can I hire you?

If you can help find me, I'll pay you!

26. Wrangell St. Elias, Alaska.

Dang! pwnd!

here you go then pally:

Lets develop them.

3,7,13,16,24 here.

5 down 20 to go.....

4 Drifting down the Amazon
9 Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece in Barcelona
11 Sistine Chapel, Rome
14 The canals and palaces of Venice
25 Itaipú,the world's biggest dam, Paraguay and Brazil

Lived 10+ years in south america, never went to see the mayan / aztec ruins. I guess when you live somewhere you always say "naah, I can always go over there, it's nearby". Then you move overseas.

/Itaipu is beautiful

Backpacking through Europe this summer. Gonna hit Rome, Venice and Barcelona.

2, 16, 24

/needs more spare time to travel

7 Petra

I unfortunately attended a Petra concert at the Elkhart County (IN) Fair, circa 1986. Definitely not as wonderful.

Have been to Detroit dozens of times, though!

Glad to see a list of "places you must see" that doesn't snob Las Vegas. Vegas is a place you just gotta see if you've never been there.

You may have been to paradise, but you've never been to you.

/yes, you.

11,12,19 and 23 for me.

I've also flown over #6 at relatively low altitude while on the way to #23. Does that count?

Any points if you've built some of those in CIV 3 or 4?

I haven't been to any of those sites.

/So I'm not getting a kick out of these replies.

No Hagia Sophia? Weak.

All my life I've wanted to avoid being a tourist. Here are my top spots on Earth:

- The Scottish highlands, by train
- The coral reefs of the Indian ocean, by snorkel
- Lagos Island, by okada
- South of Manhattan, by Statten Island ferry
- Northern Rwanda, watching gorillas
- The Rift Valley, by jeep and foot
- Roasted goat + Primus in Matonge, Kinshassa
- Playing dun-dun and djembe in Central Park, NYC
- The coastal islands south of Luanda, by boat only
- My bed, whereever that is

Mostly, wide-eyed foreign devils who are ticking off a "places to see before I die" list drive me off to find some real people to talk to, eat with, play some music with, maybe have sex with if conditions are right.

I've been to The Grand Canyon and I was damn near a Las Vegas resident, considering how often I went down there. Good times, good times.

What do I win?
/A brand new station wagon?
//Zero to Sixty in 12 minutes

Canyon/Vegas. Both big pits. Been to both and liked em.

6 of them.

I've seen the Pyramids, the Grand Canyon, Venice, and the Sistine Chapel. The last one I hardly remember though- I was four years old at the time, and didn't understand why everyone was standing around, so I spent most of the time sitting and looking at the pattern in the stone on the floor.

/was finally coaxed into looking up

3 - Pyramids at Giza, Egypt
9 - Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece in Barcelona
11 - Sistine Chapel, Rome
14 - The canals and palaces of Venice
16 - Great Wall of China

10 points!!!

3, 6, 11 and 23 here.

Woo - a rock, a ditch, a roof and bright lights. All fun, though!

2 Uluru or Ayers Rock, Australia
3 Pyramids at Giza, Egypt
5 "Fairy chimneys" and caves of Cappadocia, Turkey
7 Petra, the city carved from stone in the Jordanian desert
9 Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece in Barcelona
12 Trekking in the Himalayas
13 Angkor Wat, Cambodia
14 The canals and palaces of Venice
19 Taj Mahal, India

Nine down. Do I win a prize?

Angkor was probably my favourite.

12, 16, 24

Badaling should not count as having gone to the wall.

/no terracotta warriors?
//no Yungang or Dunhuang caves?
///China snob

6, 16, and 24

11 Sistine Chapel, Rome
12 Trekking in the Himalayas
14 The canals and palaces of Venice
16 Great Wallof China
24 Forbidden City, China

Ok so I didn't really 'trek', I climbed some foothills.. will be doing Angkor Wat this summmer. Can't wait!

Seen mayan ruins. They were pretty awesome, the carvings on the buildings were beautiful. Then a goat ate my snowcone.

/afterward, I had to pay $2 to get into a bathroom. Some creep was standing outside charging for it. I peed all over the floor.

3, 11, 20, 23 before I turned 25.


/I turned 25 in march.

17. Biatches.

That said:

9. Sagrada Familia, Gaudí's masterpiece in Barcelona

You must be joking. I was all psyched to like it, but it is soulless and hideous.

My count: 0. But I'm gettin' there

...older brother's count: 2. So yeah, I'll probably catch up to him sooner or later...

3, 11, and 14.

2, 6, 18 (paddling? And the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns was better), and I've stopped to buy fuel while driving through 23.

My fiancee has been all over the world: the Ukraine; all over the former Soviet Union, Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Chicago, the Far East AND Las Vegas and th Grand Canyon.
Me, I have hardly spent a day off of the island of Montreal.

No Niagara Falls? WTF? Or the freshwater springs of Florida?? Sure, I may be biased, but seriously, no NIAGARA??

11, 14, 23

Had NO idea of the scale of 11. It was all I could think about for days afterward.

I've been with the Smitty's mom.. how points is that worth?

Done 9. No love for moscow or paris? Or mont st michel?
Or caves?
Or my moms vajayjay?
Meh

Never been to any of them.

/so cold.

Only one for me :(

2 Uluru or Ayers Rock, Australia.

Decent sized rock, that.

Schmehar Badaling should not count as having gone to the wall.

True. I saw a KFC there in the late 90's.

Sistine Chapel
Grand Canyon
Las Vegas

Double points please!

6 Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
14 The canals and palaces of Venice
23 The temptationsof Las Vegas

And Niagara, thespindrifter's right, that should be on the list, too.

Grand Canyon, Vegas, and Belize
