Top 10 places I want to visit

The other day, I was watching this video on youtube, about a person called Matt who quit his job to go see the world. You can find him at

www.wherethehellismatt.com

Its 10 places that I want to go. I have not mentioned some outstanding places like Aanamalai and Rhotang Pass as I have already been there...

1. Kailash Manasarovar and Kashmir
I am eagerly awaiting bliss. The journey towards the abode of Lord Shiva will be the most unique experience I will undertake. Kashmir not only for its sheer beauty but also to learn about its strategic locations and settings that so many people die for....

2. Austria: I fall for renaissance architecture and old history. What better place than Vienna and Austria...a place where all the artistic and musical greats went, to become what they are known now.

3.Angkor wat and Borobudur: The most underrated engineering feats in human history along with the Brihadeeshwara temple and Dilwara Temple. After the Taj was built, the hands of all those people involved in making it were cut so that they will not be able to reproduce the same work anywhere else. When the dilwara temple was being built, after the day's work was over the entire dust (which had fallen down during the carving jobs in marble, wood and rocks) were weighed and equal wt of gold was gifted to the mason/carpenter. So whenever I see the Taj though I am amazed by its magnificence, i am also reminded of the cruel treatment meted to the ones who built it. What a sea of difference between two different kings!!

4.Spain: especially Granada and Seville for exquisite Moorish architecture and the Greek god temples in Athenian Lands...and also Babylon...one of the greatest cities to have existed. Listen to Authentic Flamenco music by Romani people, my people if I rewind 800 something years.

5.A few exotic islands in Micronesia like Kiribati or Nauru or even non-tourist islands like Azores or Tristan da Cunha
The lesser the population on the island and the more far away from mainland, the better the journey is.

6. Dakshin Gangotri, NZ and Aus: Indian territory in Antarctica,the great barrier reef in Australia or the lost New Zealand wilderness (and their all famous Maori hakka (war) dance)

7. East India and Lakshdweep: See the untouched flora and fauna of Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Sikkim, Meghaland and Arunachal Pradesh.

8. Africa:
Wildlife Safari in Kenya!! Pitch a tent on the banks of the great Lake Victoria! Abu Simbel and the Nile!! The hypnotic streets of Casablanca in Morroco!! The great Sahara desert!! The Lighthouse at Alexandria!

9. The Caribbean (and/or Fiji)
Bob Marley-Indian Ex pats- Laid Back attitude- Chutney Music - Cricket- Old Colonial Sugar Plantations. Enough said.

10. Machu Picu, Easter Islands and the Inner Amazon:
Mayan, Aztec civilizations, step pyramids in Guatemala, the sands of Belize, the soccer of Brasil and the land of that soccer god - Maradonna!! .. Do a motorcycle diaries like Che'!!

I defined a limit of 10. I therefore have to stop with this. I can go another 30-40 easily.

If reading this makes me feel good, I just cant imagine how it would be if I set foot in each of these places...... I shall definitely levitate in Bliss!!!!
