A new SG friend of mine, Hora (France) and I have been chatting back and forth about Paris, and Japan. It got me thinking about some of the amazing places I've had the privilege to visit, the awe inspiring people I've had the pleasure of meeting, and some of the seemingly insane things I've done during my little life. I'm not a (warning clich coming) "world citizen" by any means, but would very much like to feel like one. I'll be visiting the middle east shortly and don't want to be away from my family, but certainly want to learn of the Afghan culture and customs. Sadly I doubt I will have much contact with the country's local populace, due to my job.
So the top countries I would like to visit are below. What was your best experience while traveling abroad, and did you find it impacting how you viewed the world after?
A lake near Pattaya, I spent the evening hanging out with an interesting new friend and fellow urban explorer from the UK. Smoking cigarettes and talking about life. Wanna go do some urban exploring (UX) in Thailand? Find Ben here http://blog.benhodson.com

Throngs of cheap travellers and seedier site seers on an avg night on the streets of Pattaya's strip.
