Tokyo Tin Tin's Meme

Tokyo Tin Tin made up this meme/questionnarie thingy, feel free to do one for yourself!!

1.Someone is going to drop you off at your local airport early tomorrow morning. You can take any flight leaving the airport for a free holiday. Where will you go? (Please consider: flights actually leaving your local airport tomorrow)

Flight # 9W225 Jet Airways departing from YYZ at 20:00 to Delhi India.


2. You have a holiday coming up and can visit one city on each continent. Which ones will you visit, and for how long?

I have 5 weeks of vacation so:


Buenos Aires, Argentina (1 week)



Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (1 week)



Bucharest, Romania (1 week)




Aukland, New Zealand (1 week)




Galapagos Islands of course (3 days)


Bali Indonesia, I don't care where as long as I'm in Bali (4 days)


3. If you had to live in a country (other than the one you think of as 'home') and had to stay in that country for the rest of your life, where would you choose?

This is far too hard to answer, I have no idea!!! Would I want to live for the rest of my life in any of the places I've visited?? What if I pick a place I've never been and it is awful....I can't decide too much pressure Tokyo Tin Tin, too much pressure!!


4. Part 1: You have $100 and must travel somewhere for a month. Where will you go? (Please consider: cost of living, opportunities to work, people you could mooch off of, etc. –Ah ah ah! No borrowing money! The $100 doesn't have to pay for your travel to the place you want to go).

I would travel to Bangladesh, stay with P’s relatives, work in the tea fields, eat mangos all day long and hang out with the Bengali Brad Pitt.




Part 2: You have 100,000$, but only 24 hours. Where will you go to spend it? (No buying real estate, gold bricks, etc.)

I would go to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. I would stay at the Burj Al Arab hotel in the Royal Suite for a mere $28, 000. The suite has a private cinema, whirlpool baths and rotating beds woo hoo!! I’d spend my moolah on luxury cars, designer wares, indoor skiing, 5 star restaurants and of course a night on the town.


5. What is a vacation; relaxation or adventure?

I used to enjoy the relaxing vacations (IE laying on the beach drinking Mai Tai’s for a week), now I’m more apt for adventure and exploring new places.


Bonus question: what's your favourite vacation memory from when you were a kid?

We did the Florida/Myrtle Beach thing when I was younger, however the memory that springs to mind is a mini roadtrip to The Holiday Inn over the March Break in the States. We did this for a few years each break as a little getaway with a few of my parents friends and their kids. The other kids were all boys which meant shenanigans that girls would never get into IE playing nicky nicky nine doors, fire alarms and general rough housing. It was always a great time to let loose and run around with minimal supervision :)
Enjoy your week kids, I'm off to Sin City in a few days and will return next week!

I need to go somewhere...anywhere.

Enjoy Sin City.

Scott said...

That is very cool! I might be doing this one soon.

Dubai - good choice for the 24 hours thing. I hadn't thought of that. And if you stayed in the Burj, you could say you stayed in the only six star hotel in the world!

I would spend $100,000 on lap dances.

Cool memem. I have always wanted to hit Bali and especially Buenos Aires, but never have - yet.

Enjoy Vegas, and don't let that town break you.
