All the content my mind has the inclination for:


Your travel type: Culture Buff

The culture buff needs to see a museum, an art gallery, a 16-th century church every day during his holiday. When he travels he is always well prepared. He has read history books, speaks a few words of the lingo, knows about the strange habits the locals have.

top destinations:

Amsterdam
Hampi
Ciudad Perdida

stay away from:

Acapulco
Tokyo
Las Vegas


Funnily enough, I've been to Amsterdam and quite enjoyed it. And the three places listed for me to avoid are places I have absolutely no desire to visit.

The Homeland:



There are soooooo many states I still want to see and already-visited ones that I want to explore more thoroughly. I'll have to make it back over there someday.

Breakdown of Europe:



Eep, need to head east. [livejournal.com profile] frigg, hurry up and move to Denmark, so I'll have a reason to go up that way. :D

Stats for The World Domination Campaign:



The Comoros, of which Mayotte is a part, doesn't even rate a red dot and, apparently, neither does Reunion. You really have to squint (and know where to look) to see Qatar. I need to travel more. Look at that vast spread of white. So many unexplored places, unmet people, unlived cultural clashes...

Gorgeous city, and peeking in people's houses is a lot of fun. :P But, do NOT expect me to make heads or tails of the language. :D How can a word have ten letters and only be one syllable long???

*lol*
I understand quite a lot of Dutch. It's like a mix between German, Danish and English with a sprinkle of French.

See, I somehow knew you would say you could get by in it. I'll take you along next time to translate for me. ;) But the Dutch are quite fluent in English, so that's really not necessary. But I did feel like a dolt for not being able to say more than "hello."

Well, you can't be expected to be able to communicate in all the languages of the countries you visit. :)

I don't speak Dutch either, just kind of understand it. The fun thing while I was in Amsterdam were all the people thinking I was a local and asking me for directions. I got stopped like 10 times in one afternoon - probably all due to Hollands ties to south-east Asia and all the Asian and Asian-mixed people living in Amsterdam.

PS. You'll get along fine with English in Denmark as well.

I can't speak all the languages? *gasp* I'm doomed!

Okay, maybe it is time to turn all this dramatic passion to novel words. :P

Yes, and I expect your next novel to be in Dutch!

I'll buzz and say, "Let me in. I'm coooooold!" That way you'll know its me. ;)

You know, you could come in summer. End of July to end of August, the weather is usually not bad.

Ah, after the eternal summer down here, I think the cold will be a welcome change. Have I told you that J and I want to be posted in Saint Pierre et Miquelon after Mayotte? That would be too cool--"two" small island communities with a "big land/small land" setup, two radically different climates and cultures.

Ohhh you'll get plenty of cold in Saint Pierre et Miquelon! And the name matches yours! I think you're destined to go there. *grin*

hehe. Yes, and J's dad's name is Pierre:P It is fated, I tell you, fated!
