'Exotic' travel locations

[daizee]

Post a picture or two of locations you've been that you consider exotic. If you've got knives or Beckers involved, even better! I know some of our Beckerheads are gnarly adventurers, foreign and domestic (pick your frame of reference). Don't forget that one person's exotic is another's neighborhood.

As a hat-tip to our recently neckered addition in Egypt, I'll get it started thusly:

Suez Canal, 2001 (one of the HOTTEST places I've ever been). I was carrying a Gerber EZ-Out plain edge at the time. Probably a SAK Officer too.:

Iraq

Cozumel

 

[BRL]

Beijing. No knives with me for that trip (half for a conference and half to explore) but I did get the message while I was there that my LEBK-10 was waiting for me at home heh.

Me at The Boulders near Cairns, Australia, Christmas 2005.


Me and my wife at the top of Mt. Fuji, Japan, August 2003.


Saipan in 2005. This is the cliff where lots of Japanese soldiers committed suicide rather than being captured when the US took the island.

South Korea 2005

Chijmes in Singapore 2004. My wife and I were turned away from their High Tea because of my "short pants"

I think those dates are correct. There were no knives on these trips, with the exception of Mt. Fuji I'm sure I was carrying my leatherman wave.

I'll have to look for my pix

Went to TN to a secret hideaway for a few days. Met some really interesting people, had some masterfully prepared cuisine and like always when I travel, drank a lot of beer.

[Chameleonbear]

Not sure if this worked or not, but this is from when I was up in alaska... Caught a 10ton chunk of ice breaking off one of the glaciers.

 

[Nsvens89]

Niagara Falls. It's not exactly exotic by most standards but it was a fun day and most people not from around NY haven't seen it.

Back of the GF's head

No idea who she is

 

[Chameleonbear]

Was that on the Lady of the Mist?

 

[Nsvens89]

Was that on the Lady of the Mist?

Sure was, I think it's "Maid of the Mist" though iirc

 

[Chameleonbear]

Now that I think about it, I do believe you're right.

 

[Nsvens89]

Yeah there are really a lot of fun things to do at the falls, The maid of the mist is great on hot days, you can walk behind the falls, you can go on jet boat trips up and down the rapids at the bottom and that's just the American side

 

[Bladite]

mmm, not seeing any strip clubs yet

 

[PropThePolecat]

Steaming through a typhoon in the South China Sea, somewhere north of Taiwan. Gives you an idea of how small we really are against the powers of nature:

Istanbul, Turkey. 3rd largest city in Europe after London and Moscow. Magnificent place:

Here i am...ummm...asking for directions, at a gentlemans club in Hong Kong. Face blurred in case Mrs. Polecat happens to stop by this thread. Dont bother asking Bladite, theres no pics from inside that can ever see the light of day!

This is Egypt right by the Suez Canal. The following trip through the Red Sea felt like hell on earth. Ive never been anywhere that hot.
