Favorite Destinations:

Istanbul - My favorite city in the world, hands down. The people, culture, the lifestyle the beautify of the land and history. It's not a place people should visit... rather a place that people must feel with their hearts then open their eyes and see.

Venice - A world of its own.... if I was to retire somewhere outside of US, Venice may be it!.

Paris - Such an awesome city, great food, friendly people, generally most excellent.

London - I call it the motherland even though I'm not British. London is just awesome.

Bangalore - Hotel was awesome. Clinton stayed there! but the rest of the city, i can't say much. I should have gone to the resorts there. It was like a time warp!

Old Montreal - Such a beatiful city, the culture and the food is awesome!

Seoul - For some reason I hated it there when I went back 5 years ago, but now I dearly miss it. I just didn't know what to expect.... plan to go back soon.

Prague - The most beautiful city of all the cities I've ever visited. Watched the 2006 World Cup standing around 10-15 thousand people at the old town square. The city is picture perfect!

Rome - I now know why they call it the ruins..... the coliseum was nothing but a shell, everything had just about disintegrated.... But as you walk through the streets you see really awesome historical sites scattered all over the city. The cistine chapel is awe inspiring. Nothing like the pictures... you have to see it and soon you'll be engulphed in its awesomeness. it's a shame... i hope they can preserve what's left of it....

Key west - get a scooter and go everywhere! Very pretty! Lots of water sports!

Buenos Aires - Combination of Paris, London and Prague. Great food (meat) great wine! Exchange rate is pretty good, but the travel is far... well worth it!

Favorite Books and Authors:

David Sedaris - The wit and unparalleled humor

Favorite Movies:

Shallow Grave - Ewan McGreggor is the man!
My sassy girl
Friends - not the TV series the korean movie.
Old boys - sick and twisted but original and worth seeing.

Most Memorable Travel Experience:

2 most memorable in order.

Istanbul - My favorite city in the world, hands down. The people, culture, the lifestyle the beautify of the land and history. It's not a place people should visit... rather a place that people must feel with their hearts then open their eyes and see.
