Can't speak for places I've never been... but for places I have been...
best sites
1. Ruins of Palmyra, Syria
2. Blue Mosque, Istanbul
3. Great Mosque (Ummayad Mosque) & Old City, Damascus
4. Jade Mountains, Hwangshan, China
5. St. Peters, Vatican City
6. Sangrata Familia, Barcelona
7. Michaelangelo's David, Florence
8. Krek de Chevaliers, Syria
... hmm that's all I can think of that really took my breath away.
best experiences
1. riding the slow night ferry from athens to ios, and seeing the blood moon set
2. sitting around and talking to other backpackers
3. chillin at a waterpipe shop in a Turkish village, where they have never seen an asian person before
4. partying until daybreak, taking a nap, and then doing it all again in Ios
5. having a drinking contest with University of Munich students... and losing badly.
6. touching down at the beginning of the trip... and thinking "wow i am finally here."
7. the moment that the 2nd rocket goes off during the running of the bulls, and feeling a wave of energy go through the crowd
8. partying with spanish girls
9. hearing the call to prayer while on the moutainside overlooking the town in Turkey
10. watching the sun set in the Syrian desert
yay... now I have warm memories.
