I wouldn't call them boring really, just ridiculously impolite (and racist, but that's like most of Europe I suppose).

And we do have Renee Magritte...

Sure I do, for a drinking holiday. When it comes to boozing, I can't imagine many better places.

maybe somewhere where the weather is nice

Well you've been warned... beware of the Flemish...

I've had two romantic flings with Belgians... one French, one Flemish. They were both really charming but over the period of our association, became increasingly disagreeable. The French hated all Flemish, Turks, and North Africans. The Flemish hated all French, Turks, and North Africans. Oh, they also hated Americans (of course). They were hardcore leftists but racist out the yinyang, for sure.

But I cannot judge an entire nation based on these two slovenly, hippie exiles.

I'm sorry to say that, by and large, you can...

FYI: I have a Belgian passport and my mom grew up there.

Well, replace tin tin with his creator Herge, and dull poirot with interesting Magritte.

Actually, coastal Mississippi is not too bad .. or wasn't prior to Ivan and Katrina
(aka J Buffet land ... ) though I would suggest visiting is between October and April. (and you might get snow in Jan)

Where would I like to go?

France
Germany, particularly the Black Hills and the Alps.
Switzerland
Poland
Holland
Morrocco
Italy
Greece
Hawaii
The Caribbean
Chile
Ecaudor
Costa Rica
Quebec, including Montreal
More of Alberta and British Columbia
More of Ontario
Sweden
Norway
Finland
ETC.

>>>>>>> actually, MUCH easier to list those places I don't care to go:

Turkey
Iraq
Iran
Korea
Haiti, Dominican Republic, Columbia
Antarctica
The North Pole
Indonesia (for now)
.... any current war zone (though I actually would like to go to Afghanistan)

My sister-in-law is Flemish, I've never found her particularly racist, though she does manage to be both left-wing and a snob, a peculiar balancing act.

Well obviously I was exaggerating... I don't honestly think every Belgian is racist and impolite. But I do think it is an accurate characteristic of Belgians as a whole.

My workmate and I were discussing this the other day. I wouldn't go to Iraq. I might go to Afghanistan. I definitely go to Iran and Haiti. North Korea would be depressing. Colombia would be nice, but I'd be nervous in certain areas. Cartagena, though? Fo shiz!

Player: Why not DR or Indonesia??

Hoping to knock Laos and Vietnam off my list in the next 12months

You don't want to come to Greece.

I would like to go to:
Iran
Iraq
India
Tunis
Syria
Peru
Israel/Palestine
Grand Canyon and New York from US
Cuba
Italy (I have been only to South Italy and Sicily)
Australia
Easter Island

I would have listed Jordan, China, Egypt and Constantinopole but I have travelled there
