"The List" #2 - Thirty Things I Would Like To Do

This list is one of the lists I'd started compiling when I was still in senior high school. The first one is a list of "Places I Would Like To See", the second ''Things I Would Like To Do', and the third "Crazy Things I Would Love To Do". As I grew-up, I added ''to do'" and "to see" items in my lists. Nowadays, the list is called "bucket list". I still insist of calling it "the list"...

Today, as I browse through my list, I can easily get a glimpse of the state of my mind and feelings as I added items to my list. I was so romantic and idealistic when I was in high school, daring in college, tamed in my early years of working and growing a family, and now, more romantic and daring again...
