All the while I thought Thailand would make an exotic kinda travel pick but I had arguments about this that Europe should be it. So it got me thinking... how exotic can Europe be? So I select a few to argue with.

Amsterdam... the capital city of the Netherlands, located in the south of the province North Holland. Not only they're noted for their museums *yawn* but also for the red light district. Exotic? Ooh yeah... prostitution is legal there by the way and also in the city area, cafes sells cannabis. This is not completely legal but is tolerated when small quantities of cannabis (up to 5 grams) are involved. Exotic? Hell yeah!!

Barcelona... the second largest city in Spain known for its immense cultural history to the tourist like their architectural buildings and museums. They are also known for their beaches. Exotic? Erm... lukewarm, I'd say. Barcelona is also home to the Sónar Music Festival which takes place around June every year - something like Full Moon Party I guess. Exotic? Getting warmer...

Rome... is the capital city of Italy, the city which surrounds the oh so famous Vatican City. Rich in culture and history, but what's so exotic about the Colosseum or the Pope? Maybe if I'm an appreciator of art and architecture, I'll have a visual feast.

In conclusion, given a choice I'll definitely flee to Amsterdam for obvious reason. What's your pick?
