Well I found it fun at least; I've been introducing my brother to Dr. Who, working through the most recent seasons. I came home from work the other evening to find that he had finished season 3, where the Doctor defeats the Master with the help of Martha and Jack. My brother's reaction to hearing Jack mention "they used to call me the Face of Boe" was priceless.  The next poster has their own TARDIS. |

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

I had an idea for a steampunk version of "Angry Birds".
The next poster has gotten three stars in every level of every version (if so, you need to get a life).

Indeed I do. We spent a couple months in Zaporozhye, Ukraine, which is built on both sides of the Dnieper river. Across the river is a large dam/bridge that is lit up at night. Its very beautiful. A Ukrainian friend was driving us around the city one night, and we mentioned something about wanting to walk out onto the bridge sometime. As we began to cross the river he turned to us and said "Oh, I think we are about to have a mechanical problem." Suddenly he pulled over, put on his hazard lights, and popped the hood of the van. As he got out he said, "I think we are going to be here for a few minutes. Why don't you get out and look at the river?" So we climbed out, grinned a bit as he pretended to fiddle with the engine, and enjoyed the scenery. After a few minutes he informed us that the mechanical issues had been dealt with and we could go again. His ingenuity still makes me smile. The next poster also has an entertaining story of their travels. |

I could tell you about interesting food in China for example - scorpions or jellyfish anyone? Or about me almost bumping with my car into Arnold Schwarzenegger's Hummer in Santa Monica. Or about canoeing on a Swedish lake, completely alone, no other people around for hours.
My favourite travel story though is when I managed to get tickets for an evening at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. A place that is usually totally overrun with tourists. That night, we had the place almost to ourselves; old moorish gardens in the moonlight, it was pure magic.
The next poster has a favourite travel story as well.

All of mine just paled in comparison when you mentioned the Alhambra. That is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The next poster has done most of their travel in the Southern Hemisphere.

pretty much exclusively northern (was mid way through replying when you 2 got ahead of me so i'll just write my amusing story anyway lol) i was on my way on a mountain climbing/hiking/biking trip, i had landed in newyork to meet up with the rest of my climbing team, i got on a bus to just outside central park. within 2 minutes i had been pushed into a dark corner and was asked to hand over all my cash by this huuuge guy. I opened my wallet and he snatched $200 dollars and ran off into the night. i got in a taxi and had a good laugh about it all with the driver. I was then pickpocketed for my passport the next day. on one climb i messed up my ankle when we decided to stay up a mountain to watch the sunset and I was asked to scout ahead with a head torch with one other guy afterwards, each of us taking a route. he had luckily choose the correct route and in jumping a ravine to join them i fell lol. The rest of the trip was pretty amazing especially the hike through the grand canyon which was exhausting. 2 months of sleeping rough getting drunk and climbing through deserts and mountain ranges. new Orleans was unbelievable. Oh and i hugged a 15ft alligator over the edge of a boat in a bayou. there was a disaster at angels landing which wasn't even a little entertaining but over all it was good. next poster has been atleast 72 degrees north |

No, not really. I googled it; apparently it's in Cook County, Wyoming*shrug*.
The next poster can read a map without Google...

Ever since Middle School, took a summer course at a Naval base on map reading. I know how to triangulate with compass, all that lovely stuff. In fact I don't actually need a map given my understanding of geography and basic astronomy. The next poster has managed to get themselves lost in their own house before. Edit: Kinda freaked myself out with memories of an auction I worked in a house that seemed to have secret rooms everywhere. The former owner had gone crazy before death and hid stuff in the crawl spaces and walls.....felt very uneasy there and kept getting turned around. |

All the time, even areas that don't seem friendly I end up making friends....when I'm visiting a new city for any length of time I try to get myself lost just to have more opportunities to explore.
The next poster prefers to stick to the tourist guide book.

It depends on the depth of the planning. My father tends to plan things down to the last detail, while I just want a general sense of "I'm doing this, its over that way, and then after a bit I'll be doing that, which is over this way."
The next poster makes no plans and flies by the seat of their pants.
