Places I Want to Visit Before I RIP

(pictures from Wikimedia Commons)
1. The Reichstag in Berlin, Germany

2. The Brandenburg Gate, also in Berlin

These are prominent places in Contemporary History (post modern). I want to visit these places someday... I've just been into these places through video games. (COD anyone?) hoho. I wanna be there in the flesh. :))

The Reichstag was built on the late 1800's. It was renovated a couple of time of course, ilang giyera na kasi napagdaan nito. It was built to house the parliament of the German empire (known as the Reichstag also); during the third reich though, the Nazi Regime didn't use this building as the true parliament. Okay okay, let's not go into a history lesson okay?

Currently The Reichstag houses the modern German bicameral parliament, known as the Bundestag.

The number two on my list, the Brandenburg Gate is one of the world's famous landmarks in my opinion. It's just a few blocks from the Reichstag. Like the former, it was renovated/restored from considerable damage from the siege of Berlin during the world war. It is a century older than the Reichstag though.

Okay.... I wanna write a long post about the other places I want to visit, pero mejo tinatamad ako ngayon kaya I'll write the others na lang:

3. the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland - kasi it's architecture kinda relates to Freemasonry and the Knights Templar (hindi dahil nasa The DaVinci Code siya, DUHH)

4. The Taj Mahal in India - mostly made of marble, is one of the most recognizable buildings in our world. It is a symbol of eternal love. Everybody knows that this was built by some Mogul Emperor named Shah Jahan for the memory of his departed wife... blah blah, Basta I wanna got there. PLUS! I wanna have Indian tourist guides that speak in English with their Indian accents! :)) hohhoho! Promise, natutuwa ako sa Indian-English ng mga tao dun!

5. The City of Venice, somewhere in northern Italy - thanks to the 2010 film The Tourist (starring J. Depp & A. Jolie), mas lalo ko na-appreciate ang lugar na yon, hoho. No need to write here why I wanna visit the place! Super ganda don, enough said. Doon ako nangangarap mag honeymoon with my wife-to-be... LOL. hahaha. :))

6. St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City (also in Italy) - tinatamad ako magsulat kung bakit ko gusto pumunta dun, basta, hoho.

So those are places I wanna visit before I die (for now). :))

hoho. matatapos ko na ang blog challenge! Astig
