*travel wishlist*

ohkaaaaaay. 

this is extremely random, as i was initially researching for this piece i'm making for a writing job i'm applying for. but heyyy, the second my eyes fell on the word BOROBUDUR, man, i was a goner.

now, the point of my day was to gather as much travel destinations as i could in one sitting. i got myself routed to websites for UNESCO world heritage sites, varying tourist attractions, and some scandinavian-north american-north african-fijian-micronesian-french polynesian places i've been dying to visit since time immemorial *drool* and whatnot.

so, yes, in the blink of an eye, my mind went loca on all these places and culture and experiences and craziness. and i frikkin love it! :) too bad, though, my mom called me to her room for help with coloring her hair already. so, daydream paused... NOT.

so when i started laboring over my mom's hair, i gabbed on about finding this and that, blahblahblah. and mom was more than eager to join in. so our mutual love for mythology and egypt and pyramids and travel resurfaced, and we planned as we colored her hair. hahaha. 

"so pretty please, mister LOTTO person, will you make my mommy and daddy win the jackpot so our family can travel the world again? pleeeeeeease?" *batts eyelashes*
and because i plan to date myself today and rush to the poetry reading at the Instituto Cervantes, here are some places i had in mind for my travel wishlist:

Borobudur, Java, Indonesia
Prasat Angkor Wat, Angkor, Cambodia
Stonehenge, Wiltshire, United Kingdom
Mondriki, Fiji [Melanesia]
Bounty Island, Fiji [Melanesia]
Navala Village, Nausori Highlands, Fiji [Melanesia]
Chichen Itza Ruins, Mexico
1000 Warrior Columns, Chichen Itza, Mexico
Teotihuacan Pyramids of the Sun, Mexico
the Acropolis from Philopappos Hill, Athens, Greece
Parthenon, Athens, Greece
Erechtheum, Athens, Greece
St. Petersburg, Russia
Shaman Rock, Olkhon Island, Russia
Mangareva, Gambier Islands, French Polynesia
Tuamotus Lagoon, French Polynesia
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Matira Beach, Bora Bora, French Polynesia

apparently, it's easier to use these photos in their original size [or just a little less]. otherwise, it would take AGES for them to actually show up on screen. :)

and yes, i have a fascination for beaches and stone-built amazements. basta. :D one of these years, i shall go to these places. i swear, i will!!! :)
