that bucket list

Notes: I want to see a solar eclipse someday. (Well that much is obvious if I'm posting it here, I suppose.) There have been a couple in my lifetime, but always on the other side of the world or something ;____; I heard that you need special glasses to view them, or something. Anyway, they're really cool. (Wow I'm so lame, it's been way too long since I've done this.)

Notes: Sounds stupid, but I really want a clear umbrella. And not one of those bubble ones so I can block out all rain and see where I'm going, but so I'll be able to see the sky when it rains. I love it when it rains/drizzles/snows/is cloudy, so I want to be able to see the grey sky and everything too. I don't like how normal umbrellas obscure vision. It's really annoying to me. It's like wearing a big hat.

Notes: This is Pont Alexandre III in Paris, France. This photo was taken at night (obviously), and although it looks cool I must say that it looks even better in grayscale. Everything looks even better in grayscale. Anyway, I actually have a framed photograph of this in my room waiting to be hung on my wall. Anyone who knows me well knows the significance of this bridge to me, and why I want to go there.

Notes: The House on the Rock is one of the weirdest, campiest, and generally awesomest tourist attractions anywhere. Located in Wisconsin of all places, atop a giant pillar of rock, it consists of several architecturally unique rooms, including the Infinity Room, which has over 1,000 windows, and the World's Largest Indoor Carousel. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and the owner, Alex Jordan Jr, and is also apparently the most-visited spot in the state, beating out all those cheese factories I guess.

Notes: One of the animals (<--questionable in this context) I want to have as a pet is a jellyfish. They're just so squishy and cute and adorable looking! Plus a lot of them glow, and they're just so pretty! It's now possible to keep jellyfish as pets at home in a little tank and crap, but it's really expensive and I also heard it's not really possible to keep them alive for longer than a few months or so. Not sure how long their natural lifespan is, but either way. And also, there are actually stingerless jellyfish. There's a whole lake of them somewhere.

Notes: This is Alhambra, an Islamic palace in Spain. If you didn't know, up until the whole crusades and etc and everything, Spain was Islamic. And Spain was also one of the last Muslim strongholds in Western Europe. So that's why Spain has such exotic art and architecture compared to other Western European countries. But really, nobody's complaining. LOOK AT THAT BLOODY PALACE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. Actually it's probably really hot. EITHER WAY I WANT TO GO

Notes: Forget any actual instruments. I want to learn to play this ... thing. It's called an "otomatone," and like all ingenious products, it's from Japan. And when I say play, I mean, make a noise on it other than that of a dying cat. As Asthoret puts it, "They still sound better than pic."

Notes: If I ever learned to play a brass instrument, it would only be so that I could play this badass piece of awesomeness. It's called a pocket trumpet, and it's only 9.5 inches long. It has the same range as a regular trumpet, but it's mini. I think I would find it really useful because I would be able to carry it around all the time and show it off to people. Because you really can't do that with a piccolo. Nobody wants to hear that.

Notes: This is Moraine Lake, in Canada's Banff National Park. Although this seems decent to me, I enjoy seeing mountains and lakes so close to each other, as if the lake's horizon is a giant mountain. I would love to just travel and look for places like this all over the world.

Notes: Although I didn't know about this place until I googled "waterfalls", this is a really beautiful place. The water looks so blue and the way the water falls is magnificent. This is in the Plitvice Lakes National Park. There are several other beautiful pictures of this park as well.

Notes: This is Danshui's bridge (also known as Lover's Bridge, although I think many people have tried to take their lives by jumping off the bridge before) in Taiwan. I have been there, but not at night. (The bridge is not that good looking in daylight) It's a pretty place though, and I'd like to go back to eat all the street food. :D

Notes: Although not that well known (even Wikipedia doesn't have a page on it!), this is the scenic "Tunnel of Love" in Ukraine (in the middle of Winter). As you see, there are train tracks, so it is best advised to walk through this tunnel while the trains aren't operating. Once again, I would love to go to this tunnel of love and other European sites.

Notes: I want to own a Burberry before I die. The last part is pretty much implicated by the fact that this is a bucket list tumblr, but nobody even understands how much I want a Burberry hnnnnng. Their trenchcoats are the freaking best, and their scarves and other coats and good god hopefully I'll have a couple thousand dollars to throw at a coat someday.

Notes: Okay, to be honest right off the bat, I really don't care where I see one. I know I just HAVE to see an aurora before I die! They're so awesome! Maybe I'll camp out in the Arctic for a year or something. Just kidding, I would die. This particular photo was taken in Lapland, but tons of places get auroras.

Notes: On the top of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, there is a pool. And you can swim in it. It goes across three towers. Try not to die.

Notes: I hadn’t actually heard of this place until right around now, but once I saw this photograph I knew I had to go! Although it’s obviously been edited, it’s still beautiful! It looks so tranquil and beautiful. I think I would love it there. The closest I’ve ever been to a Japanese-type place (other than restaurants) would probably be in Sarah P Duke Gardens, and even there it’s amazing! The zigzagged bridges and ponds are really very charming.

Notes: This is Petra, in Jordan. Back in the days of the Roman Empire, Jordan was part of the Roman Empire. When Rome fell, the inhabitants abandoned Petra. Some of the best Roman ruins are actually in the Middle East, due to the hot desert climate and also the fact that they were abandoned rapidly. The weather is probably hell, but I still really want to see Petra!
