Hi

Someone mentioned enjoying this thread so I thought I'd do another one. IIRC you had to post three places and other MNers said if they'd been there. If they hadn't, you won my undying respect.

No impossible places like the inside of a nuclear reactor this time. As small as a pub, as big as a country.

I'll start:

Tikal, Guatemala
Alice Springs, Australia (easy one!)
Jinja, Uganda

GO!

The highest village in England. It's very tiny.

I've also been to Mijas, Stationers Hall (and Fishmongers Hall and Butchers Hall) and the Tenderloin.
I was in the Tenderloin with DD last year, it's not what it used to be.

I was sent to Pittsburg on a course in the late 90s, a week a month for 3 months.
