Swiss Alps.

Somewhere I'd like to visit more than the other places mentioned.

Swiss Alps - 6 votes
Canadian Rockies - 6 votes
Himalayas - 2 votes
Appalachian - 2 votes

It's a tie! In an attempt to no leave loose ends, you can still vote until midnight tonight if you have not already done so.


Now for some cities!

Paris


Moscow


New York City

Dubai

For clarification purposes, the round ends when there are enough votes that it's to end.

Paris and Moscow are kinda meh to me.

I've already been to New York and I met a pedofile and 3 strippers, how fun that was.

I'd have to say Dubai, they made their own islands for crying outloud, they have the world's tallest tower(I think it was dubai). Plus the people there are filthy rich.

Moscow. My dad went there and I saw some of his pictures and it looked amazing...

New York is too crowded. Dubai is too rich for me (Lambo police cars for crying out loud, not to mention Aston Martins, Ferraris and Bentleys...) and Paris... Well I couldn't vote for Paris :P

Dubai, for several reasons.

Let's not forget about poolside balconies, and, of course, underwater hotel suites. Yes, hotel suites. Underwater. And in addition to the ones that already exist, a bunch more are already being planned (come on, Dubai, in my lifetime...). Try and find that in Paris.

(You can actually find other underwater hotels in Florida and Sweden, but from the looks of them, they aren't worth the trip)

Just had an idea, I'll be the tie breaker when needed. And it's very close for me, the Canadian Rockies look really pretty but then the Swiss Alps is in Europe. In the end I think I shall vote for the Canadian Rockies.

I just realized this, but . . .

First you mistook Caras Galadhan, the city, for lorian (which is the forest and yes i know i mispelled it), which I concede is an honest mistake.

but now, you say the rockies are "canadian"?

The Rocky Mountains are commonly defined as stretching from the Liard River in British Columbia south to the Rio Grande in New Mexico


For the current poll, I vote for dubai, cuz they have too much money there.

ugh, we need an edit button.

I didn't realize that the "canadian" rockies is a special name for the northermost end of the entire range. I apologize for my rant.

New York.** Because these vagabond shoes.

re: The Alps & Rockies tiebreaker btw, I'll just add Himalayas * Go Nanda Devi, Kanchenjunga forever.

* (To be honest though, like Nicho I for some reason don't seem to fare well in the mountains. I think my lack of own wheels doesn't add to the experience. As a child and later in automobile company, sure I enjoyed a good few.)

** Did visit as a child. Found it amazing. Have always wanted to return; will one day, I'm sure. There's someone I need to interview there, so who knows and it might happen sooner rather than later. Plus a number of friends and acquiantances there. Who knows and some other US pals will wanna drop over. Should be fun ^^

New York because I'm a New Yorker and you can accuse me of patriotism but my vote still stands.

Dubai, because it's full of surprises. The other three are great places, but they don't change as much or come out with crazy new stuff on a regular basis.
