Starting travel poll
Recently I've started a travel poll on my site, but up to now I do not have enough results to have reliable stats. Are there people who would like to contribute to / complete my poll?

Site: http://worldimpressions.tripod.com/worldimp.html

You can also send a mail to the following address: worldimpressions@hotmail.com

Questions:
1. Favorite country (e.g. Myanmar, Peru, Australia, etc.)
2. Worst country (e.g. Nicaragua, Bangladesh, France, etc.)
3. Favorite city (e.g. Bangkok, Sydney, Rio, etc.)
4. Worst city (e.g. San Jose, Los Angeles, Cairo, etc.)
5. Favorite attraction (e.g. chinese wall, machu picchu, angkor, etc.)
6. Favorite type of turism (e.g. culture, nature, hiking, etc.)
7. Favorite type of holiday (e.g. backpacking, roundtrip, fly-drive, etc.)


Many thanks

Nochurch – Some here may be interested in your subject but --- backpacking in the USA means what most of the world calls trekking. It is wilderness travel by foot not inexpensive travel between hostels by train, bus, boat and plane.

do you speak the pompitous of love?
I haven't nearly traveled aboard as much as I would like.

Favorite country : That would have to be America, cause we got it all!!!

Worst country : I haven't been to one yet. There will always be something that will make any bad country shine in my book once you sweep thru the dirt.

Favorite city : Thats a hard one. Those aboard, I've like them all for the most part. The big cities like London, Dublin, Roma, Florenza, Venice even poor Managua has its beauty. But it is the smaller towns that really shine the most. Like Donegal and Ardara or Capri and Asissi.

Worst city : Palermo was pretty tough and nightfall if you don't know what you are doing. Manaqua is just poor. I've seen kids climbing into dumpster to collect plastic forks and knifes for reuse. Salerno or it may have been Sorrento but I've seen gypsy mothers come for the shadows to scold their children who had fallen asleep while begging.

Favorite attraction : Countless. The ruins of Pompei, Old Roma, The Pieta, the statue of David, Sistine Chapel, Stonehenge, Cliffs of Moher, any castle or 'old' cathedal, they rock!
But the Lincoln Memorial would be my fav.

Favorite type of tourism: cultural

Favorite type of holiday : Avoid the Bank Holiday in Ireland unless you have a place already to stay. I got caught trying to find a place to crash when everyone and there uncle was in the country for the 3 day weekend. I like 'paid'holidays the best!

So many places to see, so little time and money.
