Question 1

I think the pyramids in Egypt are world renowned. I have never been there but I would like to see them one day. My grandparents went a long time ago and they said they were remarkable.

Question 2

I have visited a few World Heritage Sites in Japan. For me the most memorable was the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima. It was a very emotional visit with was a combination of emotions ranging from horrific to extremely interesting.

Question 3

I think Todaiji in Nara is nearest to Ikoma. It used to attract many tourists but with the Corona Virus exploding throughout the world, this has caused tourism to suffer.

Question 4

I think that Machu Picchu in Peru would be the most impressive and facinating place to visit. It is mysterious and very hard to get to.

Question 5

I think everyone recommends Kyoto, and for good reason. There are many historical places to visit with many World Heritage places and as many equally as good but not classified as a World Heritage sites.

Question 6

I feel I have seen enough. I realized this in my late 20s when I started thinking that every "new" experience was somewhat comparable to previous experiences that I had lived. Now that I am a father, I want to do things that will benefit my children. At the moment they are too young but there are many places I would like to take them to.
