You have to go and see some of these places
Egypt and Greece are on my to do list, ive been to a load of places in Europe, but there are many many to go. Italy I am going to in October to the best of my knowledge, or sometime rather soon (I am over 1/4 Italien..
), Paris I have been too twice.
I will throw up some pictures of New Zealand for you to drool over. It does not have the spectacular architecture of the old world, but the views and beyond are above fantastic. Most of the other places I have been I was focused more in enjoying myself and being youthful than taking pictures, I actually generally regret it. I have been to 14 different countries, and I only have pictures from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Czech Republic, perhaps one or two from USA (L.A..) and the UK (where I live..
).
I do believe I can get my hands on some from France and Belgium from when I went round all the world war II places. I sung in the cathedral at Ypres and was part of the parade at the Menen Gate, the WW battlefields I would strongly recommend anyone to visit. The monuments at the Somme and the Menen Gate itself are truly a spectacle, as too is the bunker graveyard at Vimmy Ridge, standing near the trenches of flanders, where supposedly Wilfred Owen wrote his famous poem and of course seeing the Hawthorn crater... ok then.. *opens photo album* lets see what I can drag up from the past.. some of these will not be amazing because I am a crap photographer in general practise...
ok.. firstly.. New Zealand...

A few from Prague..
[spoiler]
One of the old gates, leading towards the old town square (yes, lot's of old things, called 'old'..lol. The second, newer square is called Wensler Square I believe, though I probably have spelt it wrong..)
A picture of the old town square. The building in the middle is the town hall, provides a great view.. but not as good as the one you get from climbing the 284 steps of the cathedral (I think it was 284..).
During my first visit to Prague, in my very youthful days (the ripe age of 12! lol..), we joked that this was in fact a monument to the Nazgul, however it is a monument to the beggers of the city streets..
This is the Cathedral inside the castle, I have sung in there.. indeedy! Very nice looking place, certainly by no means the biggest and best looking Cathedral I have been in, but still impressive.
The very grandiose church at the back of the old town square.
A very very blurred view of the castle at night. Tyber Zann (tom twin) found ourselves regularly wandering the streets until 3-4am. The amount of drugs we turned down..
The castle during the day..still not so good. OO! You can see Tom's head in the foreground.. lol.
One of the world famous Prague bridges.[/spoiler]
One or two taken from random points of my old school and college.

the final picture is one taken across the road from my home in Fleetwood, taken from the roof of a 1970's stone bus shelter XD.
