Seeing the battlefields is probably more out of respect. They are a significant part of Europe's history after all.
True, but I can't see why someone would cross the ocean just to see them when in the same place there are Louvre, Versailles, castles of the Loire Valley, etc. etc.etc.Quote:

Its possible to visit a place and accomplish all types of culture and history if you have enough time. Millions of tourists visit my home town of Stratford Upon Avon every year to see the play where William Shakespeare was born and grew up and is buried. There are play rights in most countries and Shakespeare plays performed in many languages in most countries, but people cross the ocean or fly from the other side of the world to experience this.Quote:

Each country offers different things and some people are interested in some things and not others. I've visited the art galleries of Paris and stayed with relatives in Northern France many times myself. I'd love to visit the battlefields of France and Belgium as I'm interested. I wouldn't purposely travel to do that one trip, but I might visit whilst I am there. :)
You're too serious for a Friday morning. If you ever come here I'll take you to the battlefield of Marasesti. :laugh:
The most beautiful place in the world? Definitelly Hawaii :) ) I totally fell in love with these islands :)
And the worst... It's hard to say. I think every country has some places which aren't beautifull...
Hawaii is indeed a beautiful place. Personally, I prefer Kauai over the other islands, though Maui is a good second. And, though there are some nice places on the north shore, I don't care that much for Oahu.Quote:

I have been only at Oahu, Kauai, Molokai and Big Island :) ... that's also a reason, why I need to go back there :D
Kauai was really beautiful... it amazed me. Big Island also... but when we went to the highest place I wasn't expected such a cold weather :D
Oh yes, you definitely need a warm coat when you go to Volcano National Park on Hawaii or up on the volcanoes on the other islands. Hawaii (the state, not the island) was a great place to visit, but I don't want to live there. I was there a number of times over a five year period (I was forced to go, forced I tell you), but haven't been back since '07.Quote:
