The latest theory is that our universe exists as a projection near the perimeter of a huge black hole in another four dimensional universe.

I've been to New Orleans numerous times, but I've never been during Mardi Gras. I'm thinking about going next year.

I like Budapest and Vienna. The former is quite cheap.

I loved St. Petersburg. Berlin was all construction cranes.:-) I loved Cape Town and Southern Africa -- lots of good people.

Reykjavik, Iceland, is another great city that hasn't been mentioned. And Copenhagen.

Yes, thanks lipslikecherries -- you look great.

Hello Buki, welcome to the forum

The Eagles Greatest Hits

Thanks, Nemea. Our tastes are somewhat compatible, although, unfortunately, I haven't spent much time in Norway.

It's no problem. I find some classical music boring too. I'm currently listening to Wagner's Tristan and Isolde.

Roaming is fun. If you don't mind me asking, what are your favorite countries?

Nemea, is your book in Finnish? English? Do you plan to have it published?

Hi Nemea, welcome to the forum. Liisa is a nice name.

Congratulations, Nemea. What you're doing is hard work. Congratulations, Nemea. what you're doing -- writing a novel -- is hard work.

I just re-read this thread, and realized how many well-travelled members there are here on the forum. At least 9 or 10 of us have been in more than 20 countries. Two members have been in more than 50 countries.

Yes, Tangents Within A Framework is a great book. Mylett really seems to "get" Page. Heaven and Hell is also an excellent book.

Let's not forget Zeppelin's achievements in '69 either....or the moon landings, Vietnam, Nixon, and Charles Manson.

Sounds like a great time, Nemea.

I've largely adopted the same policy, and I know many other people who have as well.

Genesis -- And Then There Were Three

Scarlet, it looks to me like you're in a "Turkish" setting.

I think Led Zeppelin and Richard Wagner possess some surface similarities. Both produced emotion-laden and dramatic music which was mesmerizing, enthralling and almost hypnotic. Both were hugely popular and influential in their heyday and continue to be so today. Both possess large, loyal fanbases. Both were accused by their critics of producing music which was self-indulgent, bloated, authoritarian, and even "dangerous." Once, Plant even compared Page to Wagner. I don't mean to overstate the similarities between Zep and Wagner -- there were obviously many huge differences between the two -- but I thought these similarities were worth noting.

SIBLY is my favorite.

My top pick too

I got 1315/2000.
