What was your most memorable visit when traveling abroad?

I have many, but one that I really will never forgot is Ankara, Turkey. The people were very nice, the culture is very interesting, the food is delicious, the views are great, and shopping is alot of fun.

Seni-Seviyorum = Turkish for I love it.

A dozen snakes covering my head in Morrocco.

That was cool. It was like I was Medusa.

I wish i could travel ,one of my wishes to have...

Visiting the Fort of San Lorenzo in Panama. While there isn't much of it left, it was supposedly built after Christopher Columbus discovered the "New World" (which happened to be what is now the nearby city of Colon) in the late 1400's.

Even more notable was that nefarious pirate Sir Francis Drake had actually "fort-jacked" sometime later. He kidnapped some nuns and threatened to shoot them with muskets if the inhabitants of the fort (the Spanish, if memory serves correctly) didn't turn the place over to him.

Another notable place was the town of "Portobelo", which is also in Panama- there were several other forts there, as well as a place called "the church of the black jesus". It's said that paying respects to the "black jesus" (a monetary donation) would result in good luck or something to that effect.

It's also evidently where Sir Francis Drake was buried- he was buried off the coast several feet away.



There's also "Lotte-World", a gigantic shopping mall/amusement park/natural history museum/candy store in Seoul, Korea. It was built by the "Lotte" company, one of the largest desert manufacturers in Asia, and the place is friggin' huge- beside the natural history museum, there are roller coasters, a go-cart track, an ice rink, an arboretum, and a Disneyland-like theme park... and all under a single trussed roof.

I managed to visit quite a few places around Germany while living there and the one place that made the most profound impact on me was Dachau Concentration Camp. When I walked under those gates onto the camp a feeling of heavyness came over my heart that I have never experienced before. I found a new love for life there. I found a tolerence for all people there. It was a place of horrible atrocities but it changed me in so many good ways.

I've been all over asia and the middle east and the most memorable was a small tea shop bookstore in New Mexico

I'll never forget...
