The city that I have always wanted to visit more than any other and still would like to visit more than any other is Athens, Greece. I have always loved Ancient Greek history and anything to do with Athens and Greece but I have been there about 7 times, 14 if you count coming and going at the airport so I need to pick out another city.

There are other citys that I would like to visit such as Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong, Paris, Venice, and Rome but none that come close to Athens on my list of citys to visit. I would love Rome for the history, Venice because it is beautiful, Paris because it seems like there is no other city like Paris, Hong Kong since reading the novel Nobel House by James Clavell, London and Edinburgh for the history and I love to listen to the accents, especially Edinburgh. Out of those I guess i would pick London though.

London has a lot of history and my two favorite historical periods are Ancient Greece and Medieval England. I have been to London, but only the airport on my way to Athens. I would love to see the historical sites and explore the city. After living so close to Detroit, I have no concerns about visiting London although my parents have visited there and the day after they left a bomb went off in the same square that their hotel had been in.

I love British television and movies so they have been a partial influence on my desire to visit there. When I was a teenager I loved anything British, especially the music so that played a part in my choice of London.
