When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Egypt because I loved Anubis and egyptian mythology.

Being an adult and seeing what Egypt really is, is so  disappointing.. T_T!! I never want to go to that part of the world. Ever.

I cant believe anyone would become violent over mocking a fictional prohfet/God/whatever. Ugh, religion is soooo peaceful.

ditto Iran, Iraq and Syria. They contain some of the most amazing archaeology and ancient ruins in the world, but I worry it'll ever be safe enough for me to go there in my lifetime  :(

I went to Egypt over 20 years ago, and the ancient Egyptian sites are amazing, well worth the visit if you ever get the chance SD, and if Egypt has become a safer place to visit.

Total de-rail, but I'd also love to go to New Zealand.

One of the guys I work with has a New Zealand accent and it's dreeammmy.

I love Benedict Cumberbatch's accent. Rawr... And Colin Morgan ... And Bradley James.

There's Fred Dagg, a great NZ philosopher.

The Socratic Paradox

More of his wisdom here.

QuoteI never want to go to that part of the world. Ever.
I went to Egypt two years ago, and before I went there I kept being afraid from what they would do If I said or did anything they didn't approve of. But fortunately, except from the fact that they drool all over you for being a female, I didn't actually feel threatened. Maybe they treat tourists differently...
