50 non-standard places to visit:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/01/10/travel/2014-places-to-go.html?_r=0

:hmm:
Albania does appeal for some reason.

Kind of a bizarre list. I don't know if places like Cape Town, Siem Reap, Athens, Scotland, Nepal, Dubai, the Vatican, and Yogyakarta really qualify as "non standard".  On the other hand, I've lived in or near Atlanta and Indianapolis and struggle to see the international appeal of either.

However, it has Patagonia on the list, which is imo the greatest destination ever, so that redeems everything.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

"Vienna" really had me scratching my head for being "non standard".

And Calgary had me scratching my head completely.  It's a nice town, I like it, but I wouldn't recommend anyone visit except as a stopover for skiing (and maybe the Stampede).

A place like Albania is probably a good pick for the list. I guess the author got tired of thinking up ideas so just started tossing out standard tourist places and a few random locations.

QuoteYou act as though you're

37

You often find yourself quite busy, with tons of people relying on you and your work – all in all, you've got a quite heavy load on your shoulders. Though you do like to let go and party, there often just doesn't seem to be enough time for it. This does bring you down from time to time, but in the end you know that all your achievements are more rewarding than a night out

Pretty much bang on  :D

I guess it depends on how strong an influence women are in your life.
