         Boosted our tourism as they showed the beauty of the country. But most of all they showed the movie talents, scenary and FX resources that we have.  Many more movies have made NZ their preferred location as a result.

            Thank you, Pearldiver.  I really want to go there soon. Yes, Laos is definitely the land of temples.  Luang Prabang alone, at last count has 30.  My father built one in Pakse not too long ago (That was where he grew up).  He also took a seed from the sacred Bodhi tree in India and planted it there in front of the temple.  It's over seven feet tall now.

   I often remember my experiences in other countries a lot more.
   
   But if you are coming to the UK, I would fully recommend spending a few days experiencing North Yorkshire...... The North Yorks Moors National Park, Thirsk, Whitby, York and the lovely little villages that surround that area....
   
   There are still so many places in my own country that I havent explored, North Yorkshire is new to me.... but its great.
   
   Im not one for London to be honest, I dont think that there is too much traditional British culture to be seen there anymore, and Bucks Palace was a complete let down for me...... I've seen bigger and better stately homes.

   As I now live in Portugal, I'm going with Lisbon. So much to do here and the culture and architecture is wonderful.
   
   My faourite two places in the city itself are the Jardim Zoológico - I can't stay away from the dolpins - and Parque Das Nacões because the whole area is just stunning, as well as packed with things to do and see.

    In the US, I would say the following;
    
    La Jolla, CA - beautiful sandy beaches, plus, watching the seals are fantistic.
    
    New York, Manhattan - the experience is crazy, so busy, fast and exciting.
    
    Key West, FL - just a different, relaxing lifestyle, awesome place to visit.
    
    So many other wonderful places, but I will give you by top three.

       OMG! La Jolla is one of my fav places on earth (right behind Monterey and Carmel, that is). Screw Key West though. Head on over to Sanibel Island in Florida. Key West is WAAAAY too touristy for me.
       
       My top votes, however, for someone just visiting the US for the first time would have to be NYC (just because it's NYC), Washington DC and either San Francisco or Bend, Oregon. If someone was coming here for their second or third visit, my list would be very, very different.

    Come visit Lisbon in Portugal! Our capital has great traditions.
    
    From the oldest Baixa-Chiado area, to the new area of Oriente, by the river, you won't regret the Portuguese experience.
    
    Of course, if you favor the beach, getting drunk and laid visit Algarve

       Same here, there are too many very nice places to visit in the US.
       I'm from Chicago so when I travel, I like smaller more quaint towns. 
       
       My top choices include:
       1. Charleston, SC (3 times a year)
       2. Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, TN (once a year)
       3. Laguna Beach, CA (once every few years)
       4. New Orleans, LA (once a year to visit the family tomb and French Quarter)
       5. Orlando, FL (usually in Oct. when its cooler out)
       
       Next on the list is Astoria, OR (where they filmed the Goonies)

From snow-capped mountain peaks to historical relics, large number of tourist attractions bedeck the marvellous landscape of Bhutan. With its tourism industry constantly developing, Bhutan is slowly putting itself as a great tourist destination to explore. The fact that Bhutan has mysteries associated to its unexplored landscape makes it more lucrative for the tourists.For more information visit  http://www.medievalbhutan.com
