I went for a walk in order to reach Hardees, where I ate breakfast. Coming home last night, I caught the end of the TNG episode "Ethics" on Syfy.
On the other hand, I did not go swimming yesterday.
You're up, IB.

Cool, thanks! If I don't check back within 3 days please do PM me, y'all.
I love to travel, but given that I'm only in my early twenties and am not exactly McCauley-level rich, there are still lots of places on my to-see list. Pretty much everywhere, in fact: Kathmandu Valley, Machu Picchu, Luang Prabang, the Serengeti, Santorini, the Grand Canyon...
ehem. I'm rambling.
Which one of these places have I NOT been to yet?
a) Banaue Rice Terraces, Philippines
b) Angkor Wat, Cambodia
c) Statue of Liberty, USA
d) Sydney Opera House, Australia
e) Puerto Prinsesa Subterranean River, Philippines
f) Universal Studios Singapore
g) Ayutthaya, Thailand
h) Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
i) Vancouver, Canada
j) Grauman's Chinese Theatre, USA
k) Jakarta, Indonesia
l) The White House, USA
m) Boracay, Philippines
n) Forbidden City, China

Nope x5! Was in Jakarta for a job interview; Visited Lady Liberty and the White House (outside only though) on a study tour way back in high school; Visited a family friend in Vancouver for a couple days on the way home; and went into the Forbidden City because I'm naughty like that. That last one is really worth it, I could easily spend half a day there  I highly recommend it!

Nope x3, visited Sydney and Puerto Prinsesa with my family. I'm in LA now for my job, so been to the Chinese Theatre too.
As a bonus I'll also take out choice "m" (been there twice, it's only an hour away by plane from where I live).
That leaves 5 choices from 5 Southeast Asian countries.

Nope, and nope!
Went to the Banaue Rice Terraces (and Sagada caves) with the money from my first paycheck.
Went to Ha Long Bay after I graduated with the money from my parents, bless them.
Three choices left:
b) Angkor Wat, Cambodia
f) Universal Studios Singapore
g) Ayutthaya, Thailand

My, hope I haven't slowed the thread down too much. I'll give fewer choices next time.
I went to Angkor Wat on the same trip that took me to Vietnam, and among all the places I've been, the Angkor temple complex is the one I would most like to revisit.
Quis is right, I have never been to Ayutthaya. That's my target for next summer though!
Quis, you're up!

I have no idea but I love the this title:
8) Some Mistakes by Moses by Robert Ingersoll
[Is this the same Ingersoll who used to write "The Law is a Ass" column for Comics Buyer's Guide?]
