The rural areas are nice, but the cities become tiring. I love the rural edges of the UK..I plan on going to Scotland (I LOVE the Scottish accent :kiss: ) and I adored the scenery in Wales. It's hard to explain, but I just feel I can really breathe there.

My mother always took me to all of the castles etc..She's a history fanatic at heart. Just like me.

Surely there would be many more interesting historical sites outside of the UK? The UK is ever-so tiny compared to other countries.

I love the UK, there is so much to discover there, but if you're into older stuff like the Ancient Roman Empire, you can come and visit me.
My home-town has one of the most preserved Roman amphitheatres and there are other monuments from that time and also from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire etc. There is an island group in the vicinity which is a national park and Plitvica lakes (national park on the UNESCO list) are relativity close as well... There is a lot of interesting things to see in Croatia and I assume not many of you have heard of such a little country but I don't want to brag here, but trust me that I can.

Envy, I think it's just that the UK is something different (I'm from eastern Canada) is the main attraction for me. I was in Rhyl, North Wales, for about 10 days once, and just loved it! The scenery was breathtaking, and we spent a lovely day wandering around Conwy Castle, and the town as well.

Black_magnolia, I have a friend who has travelled extensively in Eastern Europe (and lived in Russia for a while as well) and if I remember correctly she said Croatia is one of the most beautiful places in the area.

Certainly it is!!!
It's because of the specific geographical position that also led to a very interesting history. You can imagine just form my home-town which is over 3000 years old, how much history you can find scattered in the country.
Well, enough bragging.

I want to find out how to live for ever. But since that is obviously not a realistic goal for a simple mortal like myself, there are also other things.
I'd like to:
- write as much as possible (maybe even publish some of it, but I write mainly for my own desire, not for an audience)
- learn another language (Norwegian, Swedish, Russian or another one)
- buy a gloomy house, live in it with a lot of cats, and decorate that house to fit my taste
- get a black coffin to rest in
- try out the \"uberman\" sleeping schedule for at least 6 months
- design an RPG
- become and stay a vegetarian
- get silicone breast implants xD (have kind of got a boob fetish... but nothing extreme)
- learn how to make my own clothes (it's like quantum physics to me right now)
- find someone to love
- get and stay in shape
- visit my Russian friend in her country
- learn how to use at least one programming language
- have my own web site
- become a psychologist
- get a few tattoos (but that's not important)
- design my own grave/urn (not sure what I want to be done with my corpse)
- wear a deathhawk for at least a year to try it out
- move away from Croatia
- see humanity at peace
- be visited (or abducted) by aliens or other paranormal activity
- get a gun and learn to use it properly
- not having to care about money
etc.

I feel ambitious now that I wrote all this down and can think of a lot more... yet those actually aren't many things for a lifetime, but I think that a human can't ever be done with fulfilling his/her desires, especially if they include being alive itself.

Things I'm proud of:
- speaking and writing in three different languages (Croatian, German, English)
- being myself and trying to be a good person
There are other things that could be seen as achievements, but they don't really make a difference to me.

On a comment from before: I was so glad I got the chance to visit many of the castle's and forts while I was in Germany. It was the best. Not to mention, there were 3 in the town I was staying at. There was a fourth, but it had long since fallen and eroded. It was still interesting though, nothing left but large columns of rock out in the middle of the fcrest.
