Where would you go to see... if money or time were no object?
One of them for me would be Cherrapunji in India:

I have heaps of other places I would like to visit, but would like to hear about where people here would like to go as well.

anywhere in particular? Europe's a pretty large place...
Egypt, specifically the pyramids. The Greek Isles. Sicily. And Budapest Hungary.

Any pyramids in particular YCHTT? I'd like to see the early step pyramids some day myself - but it would be fairly awesome to see those large ones as well.

How about this place:
Kjeragbolten in Norway - http://palmeralocal.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/0 D646311cc6e45f89e03688e0f2c4fc6.jpg

@ccga, nice idea but forget the word "soccer" when you're here, basically nobody would get it :)

@spartan you can't visit the 7wonders since there's only 2 still standing (the pyramids and the lighthouse on Faros) :P
Personally I'd like to visit Poland with it's old medival cities, Venice or Vienna.

The pyramids are overrated. Same as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. The Egyptian temples, though, are something else. I have yet to see anything more impressive made by man.

Strangely enough what I'd really like to see is the sunrise over the ocean. More often than not I'm on the wrong coast, and on the few occasions I've been on the right one the weather's conspired against me.
That's funny, Oct. Growing up I saw lots of sunrises over the ocean (well, the Chesapeake Bay, same diff) as I spent my summers as a preteen and teen with my maternal grandparents in Norfolk/Virginia Beach but it was until I was almost 40 before I saw a sunset over the ocean at Santa Monica Pier on a business trip.

I would like to someday see the northern lights as well as the sun at midnight.

@ccga4, have you ever heard of Bayern München or BVB Dortmund? :P
I so love the Swabian region of Germany and Austria. Beautiful country and wonderful people. To go back to the Bodensee and Munich... I'd love to go again especially in mid to late December for the Christkindlmarkt in Munich.

"nice idea but forget the word "soccer" when you're here, basically nobody would get it :)"

Yeah, another nice smug example of Eurotrash from Guaroz. Of course it's just more misplace anti-American contempt. First of all plenty of people understand what "soccer" is, and clearly he did as well. Also "soccer" is not an American word/phrase/term. It's English, created by the English in England. It's a word derivative from the game it describes (association football) and is no more misused than referring to the game simply as "football". There are many different types of football, including soccer, rugby, gridiron, Gaelic, Australian, etc. Referring to the game as soccer is actually more specific and more proper than calling it football alone.

Soccer Stadiums on my bucket list:

IBOX Stadium (Glascow, Scotland)
St. James' Park (Newcastle upon Tyne, England)
Westfalenstadion (Dortmund, Germany)
San Siro Stadium (Milan, Italy)
Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti (Buenos Aires, Argentina)


++++++++++++++++++++++
Another destination for those who love pyramids is Machu Picchu in Peru.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu ) I went there five years ago, and it was beyond all expectations. The photographs you see on the internet cannot capture the spectacular experience of a visit in person.

I was 16 before I saw my first sunset over the ocean, I grew up on the East coast of Australia - so Sunrises it was (if you didn't sleep in!).

Machu Picchu would be an awesome place to visit - my old-man was there a couple of years ago and loved about the place. Other city ruins I would like to visit include Mohenjo-Daro, Great Zimbabwe and Petra.

I've travelled around a bunch and seen some cool things, but 2 days ago I had a real neat experience money can't buy. I was backpacking high in the Rockies and saw my first big cat, a Canadian lynx! I was pretty pumped about it, and this seemed like a good thread to let everyone know what I'm up to, living it up @ 11,000 feet! It's nice to be back in an exciting area. As for bucket list: Cotopaxi within 2 years.

Many of you who also play at Webdiplomacy know me there as "jamiet99uk". I've decided to come and play here as well. Hello!

(Weirdly, some other freak has already registered "jamiet99uk" here, so I can't use that username. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery though, I suppose)

The Lost Art of Reading Orders (feature request)
Because you need to click on a link to see the orders, I feel like players on this and other sites are not paying as close attention to the orders being issued. I know they're being shown graphically, but that can be ambiguous or hard to notice; reading the orders makes you notice things you might not have, like why something is failing or what another country is trying to do, or tell you (for gunboat games).

I'd suggest placing the latest set of orders just below the map.

Also, an offer to try any of them so long as they are unrated. I don't mind a loss and consider it a challenge to hang in as long as possible in the somewhat unbalanced. Although never again will I play Russia v Germany.
