Talk:100 places to visit before you die
From World Wikia
Contents |
[edit] A suggestion
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.
