Hey Charlotte,

Some thoughts...
-- Indonesia: for the massive diversity between all of the islands, some of earth's last great wildernesses, unbeatable food, and friendly people
-- Bolivia: interesting cultures, ridiculously tiny distance between glaciers and jungles
-- Galapagos: fantastic land and sea!
-- Gabon: contains another of the worlds last great wildernesses, indigenous cultures
-- Bhutan: relatively intact ancient way of life, beautiful snow-capped mountains

I haven't been to Gabon or Bhutan yet, but I will sometime soon...

How about yours?

For me out of the places I've been to :

- Peru - friendly people, can do desert, mountain and jungle trips all in the one country, Inca ruins
- Egypt - ancient ruins, travelling down the nile in a Faluca (sailing boat), different culture
- Italy - interesting cities such as Siena, Venice, Pompei, a trip to the active volcanoe of Stromboli
- Poland - relatively few tourists, Tatry mountains, Krakow, Gdansk, Toran plus lots of other great towns
- England - friendly people, love the country side and London - probably the most stuff to see out of any city : museums etc

Guess you should only put the places where you've been?
Right so
1. Italy - Rome, Sorrento, Venice JUST MAGIC and so much to do
2. Morocco, for its culture, landscapes, architecture, hospitality, food! ... And because I'm getting married to a Moroccan!
3. Mallorca, but not the busy side - the north side of the island is magic, for the landscapes above all and because it is really relaxing
4. Martinique, a paradisiac side of France (much more agreeable than the busy Paris, where I live), for its landscapes, food and people
5. Egypt - I'm on the leave, so technically it should not be on this list yet, but I know I'm gonna like it

LOL...
no no Mel i wasn't there ,those places are my "dream destinations" list ..i wish i was in Kyrgyzstan :-)

I am 100 % sure you cannot get a visa once you arrive in Krygyzstan ,like all former Soviet states you need a letter of invitation first ,then once you have this you must send it to the Krygyzstan embassy (if there is one in your country of coarse?) also with your visa application form ,and the processing fee for the visa (most western nationals are charged anywhere from about $70-$100 )the process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on how fast you want ,the quicker you want it the more expensive it is .
I don't know your nationality ,so it would be advised that you check with the Krygyzstan embassy close to where you live ,they will tell you all of the entry requirements and what you need to do .
i met some Krygystan people when i was in Russia many times ,they are quite friendly and hospitable people ,if you go to Krygyzstan you might want to try and learn some Russian too (English is rare from what i read),or the Krygystani language ,which is distantly related to Turkish ,and try learning to read the Cyrillic alphabet it is important too ,because this is the script they use over there .

My places of interest don't really change but i like going to countries that most people don't ,i was in Albania last year and i will be going to Moldova in a couple of months .
