BREATHE

I love travelling. I love exploring and soaking in a different culture. What I don’t love is how much travelling costs. But anyways, here’s my quickly-made-up (incomplete) fantasy list if I had all the money in the world (not in order of preference).

#1 – Lapland

Lapland is located in Northern Finland and is well known for being Santa’s home. It’s truly a Christmas destination and where auroras/Northern lights fill the sky. If I ever go, I’m definitely gonna stay at the Hotel Kakslauttanen, just check out their website! Again, I’m not selling my client but to get to such an exotic place in Finland, only FINNAIR gets you there.

#2 New York

Ok, I really really want to go to New York… Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can do. I want to munch on hotdogs, go to Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, Tiffany &Co., Saks, Macys, Madison Avenue, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the NY public library (SATC!!), catch a musical, the list goes on.

#3 – France

C’mon, everyone wants to go to Paris! See the Eiffel Tower, take a romantic stroll along the Seine river or sit by a cafe with a glass of wine. But of course, there’s also all the marvellous factory outlets in France that I’ve heard about… Balenciaga, Chanel… Dreamy sigh.

#4 – Barcelona

This is what I know of Spain – Zara, Paella and Soccer. Yes, in that order, so hopefully actually going there will change my impressions. Plus I’ve heard soo many wonderful things about Barcelona!

#5 – Greece

Mamma Mia! How can I resist ya! Yet another far place that I’ve heard so much about but have no clue what to expect upon arrival. All I know is that Greece is beyootiful. Clear blue waters, the sun, island hoppng, tzatziki.. Bliss :) But of course, I also can’t forget how a Singaporean Duke-NUS Grad Med Sch student went over last year for a conference and has been missing ever since. Yikes..

#6 – Tokyo

After having gone to Kyoto and Nagoya, I really really really need to get my arse to Tokyo. I love Japan, the food’s awesome but most importantly, the place is friggin clean! It’s as if everyone has OCD there and I really like that. Japan’s not extremely far from Singapore too and because they speak a total different language, it’s pretty damn exotic. Not forgetting, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.. Hur hur… Fast cars… ;)

#7 – London

No compelling reason to go, YET. BUT! I want to go to London.. Maybe it’s to shop, or maybe it’s to catch Broadway, but all I know is that, I want to go.

Phew! So what are some of the places you’d like to go? And tell me more, tell me more about the cool, exotic and exciting places you’ve been to :)
