Friday Five...Late
Jun. 28th, 2008 10:21 pmTheme: International Travel
1. You have the summer and plenty of money to travel abroad. Where all would you go?
Definitely Japan. Bryan & I would go on a tour all around the country to places we want to see the most. Akihabara is a must for Bryan, and the hanamachi districts of Kyoto for me.
2. What foods would you be sure you got to eat?
I would want to eat nikuman, yakitori, okonomiyaki, and takoyaki.
3. What landmarks would you be sure you got to see?
Everything. In addition to the two above, we'd certainly want to see certain shrines and definitely stay at a ryokan, preferably in the process of visiting a hot spring.
4. What airline would you use?
Most likely whichever was the cheapest in getting us to Japan.
5. Would your knowledge of other languages influence where you went? (i.e. would you be more likely to go to France if you spoke French)
Neither of us speak a language other than English fluently, so this doesn't influence us. However, we both wish we spoke Japanese, so even if we did speak another language, that would be it.
Theme: USA Road Trip
1. Who would you take with you on a road trip?
BRYAN! Also, if we all had our own RVs, all of family 2.0 on one huge cross-country trip.
2. What states would you visit?
I would like to visit the deep Southern states: Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia. Big RV trip all the way through them. I especially enjoyed the Gulf Coast states on a couple of business trips down there, so that'd be on my list.
3. What national parks and/or monuments would you go see?
I'm an urban kinda person, so I would want to visit certain cities. I'd like to visit San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, and Washington D.C. If this is the 2.0 road trip, I'm sure the others have their choices; I know we'd end up at the Grand Canyon & Yellowstone at some point. I also think the Salt Flats would really be a sight to see.
4. Las Vegas: Overrated or a Must-See?
Overrated. The lights are pretty and would make for good photography, but better photographers than I have covered that ground already. I don't like to gamble, and though the hotels would be amazing & some of the attractions might appeal to me, I have heard that shopping in Vegas is dismal if you're larger than a size 8, so that's boring.
5. How long would you be gone?
All summer long, if possible. Just gypsying around the country in our carbon-spewing monsters, getting whims, looking them up on the internet, and heading out to find them.
