I can read that question a few different ways.

If it's a favourite place that I've already been to, then it's a tough choice...maybe Kerala, India.

If it's somewhere I haven't been, but would like to go?   Snoqualmie!!!

Someone I work with actually got back from Dubai not too long ago.  He said it was pretty interesting.

 

My all time favorite place is Munich.  Favorite US city is San Francisco.  I would love to go to the UK and Scandinavia someday.

My in-laws lived in Dubai for many years, and quite liked the place.

Mind you it has massively transformed over the past 10 years or so since they've been in Australia.

I know a couple of people living up there at the moment, and they love the place - mainly because they're earning obscene amounts of money (tax free), and living the high life.

To my mind, Dubai would be an excellent place to holiday, but it represents obscene wasting of money.  I just can't conscience how so much money is thrown into seemingly frivilous projects with the aim of one-upmanship rather than practicality.  A bit like Vegas in that respect.  If you can get past that though, forgetting completely about the 3rd world and starving people around the globe, and just engage in the awesomeness of the construction(much of it, if not most of it, but Aussie companies mind you), the sheer wealth and opulence, then you'll have a great holiday there.

I would love to go to Sanfransico and Seattle!

Considering id love to move to Canada if i ever make any money i think a massive trip round the country would be amazing (going to Torronto in summer for 4 days... suppose it wil do lol!).

I have to say that i absolutly DETEST Las Vagas! I whole idea of it as far as i am concerned represents everythin that is wrong in our world! (O god i hope i dont get sh*t for this!)... but i am sure it would be nice for a holiday! lol

Thanks for listening :S

Denise, I would assume you're no longer interested in girls.

Coop, I may be wearing a dress, but I still pull my panties on one leg at a time, if you know what I mean.

Not really.

I've stopped over a few times and found Dubai to be a rather boring and pointless place. Its an enormous, man-made cultural vacuum. Nothing seems real there. If you like shopping and snazzy hotels (and couldn't give a two hoots about the environment) then I guess you could have a holiday there.

Personally, I would rather visit:

Mumbai 

Beijing

Prague

Milan

Hong Kong

NYC

Tibet

and of course

Snowqualmie!

If I had a chance to go right now I would go without any doubts to JAPAN!(on my own)Another place which is in my "must do it"-list is the USA,but this project needs time.

As for the places I really enjoyed :I used to love Paris,I spent weeks there years ago.But then I visited Berlin by chance and fell in love with it.People say:"Never come back to the place you felt ok as it will never be the same"but in my case it is not true.I came back to Berlin and this sweet atmosphere still atracts me,it is just PERFECT!!!

May be it would be a good idea to give some comments on the places I VISITED AND DIDNT LIKE(from your lists)although it is all too personal.

You mentioned Milan.Well,sorry but I didnt find it interesting at all,it is muuuuuch better Venice if you go to this part of Italy.And Rome if you go to the central part.Some people mentioned Russia, hmmmm....I was born there and still have some friends there but really I would never go to this place unless there are no other countries to visit...

BARCELONA(SPAIN) is nice!I have been living here for many years and I love Barca!So if one day you decide to go here you are welcome!

Scotland and parts of England, Snoqualmie, NYC and LA, Arizona and New Mexico, maybe Tokyo, maybe Anchorage, maybe Prague.  That would be enough.

I want to go to Europe so bad.

Also Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Always wanted to explore Titanic's history.

Anywhere in Italy, for no other purpose than to meet Italian men.

 Italian men seemed to be rather rude and very very "macho men"...It is my personal opinion after 2 visits there,sorry if it is offensive.I am sure there are nice men there too.

A lot of Italian men are looking for a wife so they can get a smooth transition moving out of their mother's place. I love Italy and Italians, but the truth hurts sometimes. The general male population of that country needs to get its act together.

Does everyone in this place want to go to Scotland? That's cool, I thought I was the only one. I've been there once, and I LOVED it. I really want to go back. As soon as possible. I love the islands on the west coast. Mull and Skye, especially. Breathtaking nature. And the Tobermory single malt whisky from the Isle of Mull is the best whisky I've ever had the pleasure of drinking, but it's impossible to get anywhere else, it seems.

Exactly.

Women from other countries love American men because, generally speaking, they're the inevitable byproduct of feminist mothers and new age sensitive psychology: wussies, or repressed wussies, headbutting and talking about football and strip clubs. I think a salt of the earth pr*ck would be a challenge- or at least something different.

 

For everyone that said Snoqualmie, twinpeaksfest.com is selling tickets for this year's party in the pines. Only $160 while the prices last....  Or you can design this year's t-shirt logo and get free entry and other freebies.

Sadly, being a prick doesn't mean that you're somehow more grown-up and less of a wuss. The Italian mamma doesn't make any demands from the child either, feminism be damned. Which makes a lot of Italian men pricks and wussies at the same time. And some of them vain wussies too. When the Italian football team were playing Norway in Oslo, the players were deeply shocked that there were no hair dryers. So they ended up using the ladies quarters. I try to look reasonably good too, but that story always makes me chuckle. I guess what I mean is that if you want to find a place where men aren't bossed around by women I would try somewhere else. (Russia?)

(Again, let me state for the record that I love Italy and Italians and that I've been there many times.)
