What nation(s) do you want to go to before you die and why?
P.S. I know this has been done many times here but the other topics are boring, this one too I guess.
Mine:
Australia - Nice People
Israel - To See What All the Fuss is About
New Zealand - Sounds Like a Cool Place and the People Have a Weird Accent
Japan - REALLY Nice People
France - For the Drinks
Italy - The Culture
Greece - To See Athens and the Ruins
South Africa - To See the Horn
Scotland - Cool People

Norway (for the landscape)
Turkey (for the culture and the archaeology)
Rumania (landscape and out of curiosity)
India (for everything)
China (for the culture)
Japan (for the culture, landscape, and the history)
Denmark and Sweden (to drive across this really cool bridge between them)
New Zealand (to visit some friends)
England (just for the fun of it)

i'm not very picky when it comes to traveling. i don't think there is anywhere where i don't want to go (unless maybe really dangerous countries).

This poll should have been multiple choice.
I really want to go to Seoul... before something happens to it :(

Holland (for the Vrolik collection)
Man, here I am being all impressed that you want to go there for some art collection, and then google makes reality set in. I should've known! :p
Rumania (landscape and out of curiosity)
Oh, I'd *love* to see the scenery, but communism under Ceauşescu and an irrational fear of vampires (don't ask) made me scared of Romania. Stupid but true. :/
Hm, as for me, I would happily visit pretty much every country in the world.
The ones on the very top of the dream list that "I want to see (again) before I die" would be:
Chile: For the Atacama Desert.
Bolivia: For the southwestern altiplano again.
France: For Paris and Provence, finally.
Italy: For Rome, finally, and for Florence & Siena again.
New Zealand: For the scenery.
Jordan: For Petra.
Mongolia: For the scenery. Not for the food.
China: Really only for the Gobi Desert. And the Great Wall.
Uzbekistan. For Samarkand and Bukhara.
Kazakhstan: For the steppe and desert.
Denmark: Just because.
Iceland: For the scenery. Not for the temperatures.
Ireland: For a bit more of the northwestern coast this time.
The US: For New York City, the Dakotas, New England and the South, finally. And Northern California and the Southwest again.
Canada: For Vancouver again, and for the friendliest people ever.
Chad + Libya: For the Ennedi region of the Sahara.
Austria: For Vienna, finally.
Easter Island: For the scenery.

There's still a couple of places all over the world I'd like to visit. Sadly, you didn't make the poll multiple choice, so I'm not going to vote.
Just tell me which nation I can visit in Antartica, and I might even consider that one, too...

Heheheh...I should be going to Amsterdam at the start of next year, so I'll be seeing it then. Also be seeing the sex museum and the weed museum. Apparently if you're a medical student or doctor they take you down to the basement and show you evidence of experiments on the effects of weed on dogs and other animals. :D
Oh, and there should be an "Everywhere" option.

Before taking the long flight to Australia for the "nice people," don't forget that some of them are like me. Narky bastards who can't shut up to save their lives.

they're God's own chosen race!

they'll smash him in the face!"

Just make sure to travel with the Scooby Gang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooby_Gang) and you should be fine!
