Australia? Russia?" and continued listing countries not even on the same continent... good grief...</p> <p>I would looove to go to Africa!!</p> <p>I don't know enough about the other cities, but DH said Tokyo so I'd go there too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305955 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:33:29 +0000 softcream 305955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eta: i feel like copenhagen is about the same as tokyo in terms of being an expensive city. you can get really good food for cheap in tokyo, but you'd have to pay a little more just to get decent food in copenhagen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305954 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:27:10 +0000 softcream 305954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DIGAPONY i'm surprised at the few votes for CPH too. i lived there for a bit and loved it. i didn't choose CPH because two weeks wouldn't be enough!</p> <p>@CRUMBS that's the first time i've ever heard anyone call copenhagen dirty. gray, maybe. but i don't remember it being dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305944 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:09:13 +0000 Turd Ferguson 305944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh, Paris is fabulous--we did a 5 day in Amsterdam and 5 day in Paris over New Year's this last year (and got engaged in Paris!). I'd pick Tokyo. I've been fortunate enough to travel a lot, but have never been to an Asian country; I'd LOVE the chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305846 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:19:31 +0000 Meridian 305846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted Paris because we got engaged there. we had the most amazing time and I Am dyyyying to go back!</p> <p>But now I want to change my answer to Tokyo because I really want to go there and eat endless sush on someone else's dime, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305438 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:04:39 +0000 Sammyfab 305438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked Tokyo as I have always wanted to travel to Japan. My 2nd choice would be like what @BKCaribBaby said - Cape Town instead of Johannesburg. We were fortunate enough to visit both cities last year and I would go back to Cape Town in a heartbeat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305435 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:02:52 +0000 Bookish 305435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paris, because it is so centrally located that you can visit other countries in Europe too! Hello, Chunnel! :D </p> <p>I want to go to Europe SO bad!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305419 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:58:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 305419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Copenhagen, with Tokyo a close second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305396 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:47:18 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 305396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paris, because I love it there and I'm pregnant and want to eat yummy food all day long. Also I think LO would love it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-305113 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:33:02 +0000 BananaPancakes 305113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Same here.

I would have to wait until I am not pregnant, though, in order to eat all the raw seafood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304957 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:35:45 +0000 SugarplumsMom 304957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paris because it's closer, but if I could ignore the distance, then my vote would be Tokyo. I wouldn't recommend Copenhagen though: DH just had visitors at work from Beijing and they've never been ouside of China. They also visited Copenhagen and the first thing they mentioned was how dirty it is! It's exactly what I thought when I visited there 3 years ago and DH assumed I exaggerated. Totally not an exaggeration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304935 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:28:55 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 304935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Johannesburg! I think the culture there would be amazing and the weather and the animals!!! I would honestly like to have<br /> 1 week in Paris as a 3rd anniversary/honeymoon<br /> and<br /> 1 week in Johannesburg as a family vacation with our LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304931 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:28:08 +0000 pinkcupcake 304931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paris - I'm dying to go to Europe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304928 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:25:52 +0000 MK0180 304928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Paris! Went there on our honeymoon. I love that city - we would live there if we could. I have family in Tokyo - it's a very cool city as well, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304913 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:18:54 +0000 GrapeCrush 304913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tokoyo.

But the city itself was not something I have a desire to explore. Other than that, I would say Copenhagen! I studied abroad there for a semester and would love to take DH there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304673 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:49:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 304673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked Paris, I have always dreamed of going to Europe and never made it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304669 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:49:03 +0000 yoursilverlining 304669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DigAPony: I went to Copenhagen last summer; it's a beautiful city. Nice people too! </p> <p>Of those cities listed, I think I'd pick Johhanesburg; but stay at a luxury safari park (hey, we're going on someone elses dine, right?!) ;) I'd love to go to France, but not interested in going to Paris. If I could trade Paris for somewhere in the countryside, my vote might be different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304625 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:32:20 +0000 loveisstrange 304625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tokyo, for sure. </p> <p>Paris is dirty and underwhelming, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304622 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:31:41 +0000 regberadaisy 304622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tokyo because I would love to go to Japan but it's so expensive! So all expenses paid would be awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304619 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 08:30:36 +0000 JessiBee 304619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of those four, probably Paris, but if it weren't multiple choice, it might involve Italy, Australia, Hawaii... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304375 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 04:58:43 +0000 BKCaribBaby 304375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love, love, travel! (Since I write travel blog, I would hope so, right?) I would actually do two weeks in Cape Town instead of Jo'burg. I lived in CT for four months, and it is so beautiful and the areas around it are fun to explore (wine regions, the scenic Garden Route, possible whale watching). That said, if I was on someone else's dime, I would maybe pick Paris (well, because it's Paris) or Tokyo because of the expense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304369 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 04:36:40 +0000 mynoahbear 304369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess Paris since I live in Tokyo right now and I've never been to Paris yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/2-weeks-all-expenses-paid-trip-to#post-304363 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 03:58:33 +0000 DigAPony 304363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What, no one else for Copenhagen besides me? No Scandinavian enthusiasts? Gorgeous architecture, amazing breweries, the home of Niels Bohr and Kierkegaard? And to quote the ever-useful Wikipedia, "Copenhagen has repeatedly been recognized as one of the cities with the best quality of life." </p>
