"Pick a state or country you've never visited. Write about why you would or would not like to visit that place. "
________________________________
It is not fair, how do I pick and choose? There are so many places that I want to see and rather than allow me to list them all, I have to pick and choose. Or maybe I can list all of them under the pretence of picking one. Or maybe I will twist the choice a bit, instead of a country or a state, let me pick a continent – Europe.
Why Europe, I have no clue but something about it fascinates me. I have only been to London for a couple of months and not to any of the other countries, but someday, I might. A girl can dream, right?
Austria (Vienna) for it is the birthplace of many famous musicians and Mozart spent a significant part of his life in Vienna. There must be something in the air or the water, how else would you explain this? I want to breathe the air, where so many compositions were created.
Belgium (Brussuls) – do not laugh, it is the home of Hercule Poirot, the fictional detective created by Dame Agatha Christie. And how can one forget chocolates.
Denmark (Copenhagen) – home to the Vikings.
Finland (Helsinki) – no particular reason but then Wiki lets me know that Finland is the world's top per capita consumer of coffee, that is reason enough.
France (Paris) – Do I really need to list down why? Though, a visit to the Disney world (mainly for all those giant wheels) tops the list.
Germany (Berlin) – Again no specific reason, just a fascination, but a purchase of a Black Forest cuckoo clock is a must.
Greece (Athens) – the cradle of western civilization.
Italy ( Rome) – for pasta and spaghetti and the architecture (Florence and Venice- anyone?)And it is the home to poet Dante Alighieri who wrote The Divine Comedy, Petrarch whose sonnets serve a model and Vivaldi, the greatest of Baroque composers (his violin concertos – The Four Seasons – is brilliant, to say the least (I am giving the link below)
Russia - not too sure - I want to see the architecture but am wary of how cold it can get.
Switzerland – Again, simply fascinated maybe with the dairy products.
Turkey – for the carpets and the pottery
And that is enough for me, as of now.
