Xela Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just come back from Copenhagen and thought it was a lovely place. Very pretty and lots to do. The Danish people are so friendly. Good nightlife as well and its not as expensive as people make it out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 For good looking women I would say Birmingham. But overall I would say Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2012 did you go see the Mermaid ... did you know it's only a copy , the original is locked away somewhere ... Wasn't aware of that. I assume a museum that you can visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Internet says no, the original statue is at an "undisclosed location" and not for the public. It's probably a good thing too because it seems that the Danes really enjoy vandalising the statue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted December 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 11, 2012 Meh. That smacks of placing OTT importance on what is not that big a deal as statues go. Delusions of grandeur 'n all. Shove yer mermaid Copenhagen ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I really want to go to travelling but with only £2100 to my name that is going to be very difficult. How are you guys funding your travels? Years of saving? Or is there a cheap loophole i dont know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Venlo (and nearby Arcen) is a favourite. You've got the river Maas and Kasteeltuinen... ...the greatest pancake house in the known universe... ...and an awesome record store... ...plus you're a short drive to Germany if that takes your fancy.

The_Rev Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nanking Nanjing If we are being internet pedants, it's actually 南京 There is no exact science for translating words between alphabets, as the sounds don't always correlate. That is why there are half a dozen variations of the spelling of the name Mohammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm surprised you have yet to add Bangladesh to your list Tony. tbh I've yet to hear anyone say a good word about the place so I've never really made the effort , just thought I'd do it this time around as Sri Lanka is sorta close enough and the flights work NV ... I will be taping you up for some info nearer the time , will probably aim for Ruhuna or Wilpattu National parks and try and see leopards & tigers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 New York. I am going again next week for 4 days. Christmas time is a great time to be in New York. This will be my fifth trip there and I will never get tired of the place. There's so much more to do and see than the usual stuff too! San Francisco. Some of the sights are amazing. I love the cable cars/street cars there too. Not to mention the old Alcatraz prison! That place is unbelievable. I went on the guided tour to Alcatraz and I found it fascinating. I originally visited Hollywood/Los Angeles which was amazing but my visit to San Francisco was a nice break from LA. I've been to quite a few of the bigger or more popular cities in various states of America and these two are definitely among my favourites. An honourable mention for Las Vegas too! Like many of you, I've been to some very nice places around Europe as well BUT I have a big soft spot for America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
