A suggestionEdit

I thank Angela for creating this page. Somehow I landed on a page of the National Geographic, and found a list of 50 places of a lifetime. I share the list of these places so that Wikians interested in created pages may choose one of or more for creating the initial contents for the pages. Yes, I would surely love to remain associated with the development of these pages. I also request for expanding the list to make it reach at least 100. Please feel free to add or remove the places from the list. Let us come closer and begin a little editing, we shall surely build pages, word by word, with reasonable contents. Some of the places are really "unusual" like Cyberspace and Space, which we may remove from this list for all practical purposes.

Barcelona - Hong Kong - Istanbul - Jerusalem - London - New York - Paris - Rio de Janeiro - San Francisco - Venice

Wild PlacesEdit

Antarctica - Amazon - Canadian Rockies - Galápagos - Grand Canyon - Australian Outback - Papua New Guinea Reefs - Sahara - Serengeti - Venezuela’s Tepuis, Kathmandu and Everest (www.visithimalayastrek.com)

The Final FrontierEdit

Space

I would again repeat that the list should be treated as an illustrative one, and open to addition and deletion. Thanks. --Bhadani 17:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Just a thoughtEdit

I think the page in its current form does not do justice to the page name. I shall try to completely re-write this article over next few weeks. I want to identify the places and add a little about each place including at least one photograph for each place. --Bhadani (talk) 18:54, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Fine. To-day, I found a link listing 50 places: 50 places to see before you die, So, this is the beginning ... to create some pages and up-date this article. --Bhadani (talk) 02:41, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
