    Zambia

    Probably a few more :/</div>

    I think you could have a winner or two here. I probably shouldn't count Dar's airport. I don't even know where Gujarat is. For Zambia, though, could you name a town or city? I'm guessing that it'll be hard to get away with an entire country on this list.

    Gujarat is a state in India.

    Zambia... Hmm... I was there when I was 2ish, so I'd probably have to ask.

    There's a chance a Canadian or two on this board has been there, particularly if they're from Ontario), but I'm willing to give it a shot.

    I've taken a road trip from Santiago up to the northern tip of Chile- coolest place we stopped was called Valle de la Luna.
    And a cruise down to the southern end, but I don't recall any land that was particularly memorable.

    A six hour boat ride up the Madre de Dios river in Peru to the research station in the rainforest there. Here's the website: http://www.amazonconservation.org/LosAmigo...escriptions.htm

    I hiked all around southern Utah, but one of my favorite places was Goblin Valley. If you've seen Galaxy Quest, you'll know it as the place where the little blue miners live.

    I have been ringing handbells for my church for about 15 years now. My senior year in high school our choir toured Germany and had one stop in Paris. While there we stayed at the "Friends Hostel" right in the middle of the sex district.
