Cool list! I would love to ride a segway. Funny you should mention learning the African map; I memorized the names and locations of the countries in South America earlier this year.
Of course you did! Though there are less (my bro aims to visit them all next year). It was once a new years resolution, but evidently I failed! I have a vague idea of where things are, but still not 100% known. Looking forward to reading your latest post (I’m busy tracking some work stuff, the nerdiness is so exciting!)
I think somewhere along the way, I read a first-hand survivor’s account from Oradour-sur-Glane – gives me goose-bumps right now thinking about it. Have you seen “Bondi flash mob flip” on YouTube? Makes me smile each and every time…SO Syndney! (happy memories)
I read something about Oradour-sur-Glane, so that’s how it’s made it on the list. It’s actually not that easy to get to from the south of France where I last was. I’ll need to youTube that clip, I don’t think I’ve seen it!
