    Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but the Colosseum was pretty fucking cool. We were one of the last to get in before it closed for the night, and it was rainy, so it wasn't too crowded. Was able to chill in a corner and soak everything in, including the ruins just outside.

    Rome is dirty and you feel like you are going to get stabbed, but God there is a lot of cool shit there.

    Was just there two months ago. Nothing special, reminded me of Cal Memorial before the renovation, only smaller

    Girls from Rifle as well. It must be the west side of the state.

    Bunch of slutty blonde country chicks.

    Highlands ranch which is basically the Bellevue of the Denver area is the best though. Lots of daddy issues and smokeshow blondes with big tits ( Hi @PurpleThrobber!)

    Most impactful for me without question is Auschwitz. Both Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau. It is really indescribable.

    I've been to Antietam, Gettysburg, Bull Run, all the DC monuments including the Vietnam Wall, the Plaszow concentration camp in Krakow (which is a different type of sadness) and the last remaining piece of the wall of the Warsaw Ghetto but there is nothing that approaches the level of Auschwitz.

    Nairobi National Park in Kenya was pretty impactful from the perspective of how incredible those creatures are in the wild and how we're in the process of destroying their planet and habitat.

    The Great Pyramids of Giza. How the fuck did humans build those things with the technology at the time?

    The Acropolis & Parthenon in Athens.

    The Wieliczka Salt Mine in Krakow is amazing as well.

    The Great Wall of China is pretty amazing but I wish I had more of a chance to explore it.

    Tiannamen Square was interesting from the perspective of the tour "rebranding" the history there.

    Krakow Wawel Castle and old square are awesome.
    Similarly Plaza Mayor in Madrid, along with the Prado.

    I liked the Musee du Orsay in Paris more than the Louvre, but the Louvre is still pretty special.
    The Amsterdam Rijksmuseum is a great museum.

    The Auckland Maritime Museum was a really cool display of the history of ocean travel and navigation.

    I did the other big Paris sites when I was there, Arc, Eiffle Tower, etc, and while they're amazing they don't crack the top 5. Same with London; Buckingham palace and Big Ben are cool but not top 5.

    An amazing museum and I take it for granted for being right down the street is the Udvar-Hazy center near Dulles Airport. The fucking Enola Gay is there! Plus a space shuttle, a Concorde, an SR-71 blackbird and Gemini space capsule.

    Humans didn’t build the pyramids. Aliens did. HTH.

    Agree on Orsay being better than Louvre.

    I really need to see Gettysburg soon. Really want to look down from Little Round Top to see where Chamberlain ordered the bayonet charge and saved the Republic.
    agree on Orsay > Louvre

    I've always wanted to visited the @RaceBannon birthplace National Historic Site.

    You guys are fags.

    There's more in Australia than coke signs.
