Eric Meets World (no Topenga)
Thursday, July 14, 2005 by eric yang
Places I've gone to sleep and woken up in, for at least one night.
The thing is I'm still hankering for more. I will go soon, very soon. It's amazing because as I put this together I couldn't help but be reminded of all the stories from each of the discoveries I made in each place...
Surreal locales like the steeples of Notre Dame looking out over Paris, spring break in Atlantis on Paradise Island, climbing the William Wallace Monument in Stirling, Scotland or drinking the tastiest pint of Guinness straight from the brewery on a rainy day in Dublin.
Personal encounters like watching my friend Will get engaged in London on the Millennium Eye thru the eye of a camera as I took pictures, my grandfather's traditional burial in Korea on our family plot, celebrating Christmas with my friend Dearan's family in Newport, Wales, or bunking with my friends in a hostel in Amsterdam and laughing about girls until it hurt.
Intimate ventures like hiking thru the vineyards of Cinque Terra in Italy with my friends Bradley and Chris, buying Belgium chocolates - in Belgium, going to a Playboy function in Chicago, or meeting one of the most profound girls I've ever known in Chapel Hill, NC.
I think I could go on for days talking about this... maybe one day I will.
EDIT - So, it seems I've missed a few places. I will amend this post by god... I will amend this post like our nation's Constitution.
A few more places I've found myself waking up in...
1. Iowa City, IO
2. Winston-Salem, NC
3. Bristol Temple/Meads, United Kingdom
4. Royal Blue Reserve, TN
5. Georgetown, VA
6. Alexandria, LA
7. Weaverville, NC
8. Buena Vista, CO
9. Pittsburg, PA
10. Philadelphia, PA
11. Niagara Falls, NY
12. Buffalo, NY
13. Cambridge, United Kingdom
14. Key West, FL
I'm sure more will come to me...
1. West Palm Beach, not West Palm Springs... soon though
