more awesome places unlikely of travel:

Underwater Alexandria, Egypt: cleopatra's true palace was submerged under a ton of the landlubbers of Alexandria's feces and sewage and run off... i'm sort of a shakespeare nerd. this is the first thing to make me use the term "epic".  after my naive run in with 10ft waves at the wedge in newport beach,ca, i have had reoccurring dreams about falling into the ocean and becoming stuck after the break of multiple huge waves. which is terrible, since i love the ocean. i wake up swimming in bed sometimes.  apparently an underwater museum is being planned. if my plan of working in a museum pans out, maybe i can get a job there. 

museum:

kowloon wall city: it existed until early 1990s... it's a tiny area in taiwan that resisted the british's attempt at pillaging. since it was a tiny, surrounded, walled off area, when it boomed, they could only build skywards.  It created a strange mystery labyrinth and acted as a haven against police for drugs and debauchery.  anyway, it was destroyed. actually, a jackie chan movie was filmed in it... most of the explosions are real acts of building demolition. i think there's a park in its place. i wold probably be too worried about meandering ghosts to ever physically go in its existence, anyway. photos are from late 80s.
