Favourite city to shop in\u2026<\/span>
\nMELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
\nI visited Melbourne for the third time this past summer, and 50% of my time there was spent shopping (or window shopping). One of my biggest frustrations from living in Vancouver is the\u00a0taxes that get added to the price tags. When I decide to buy a top for $12, that decision was\u00a0based on $12 and not $12 + GST + PST. Not that Melbourne shopping is tax free, but they\u00a0have already built those amounts into the prices of items. Plus, they had amazing sales when I was\u00a0there!<\/p>\n

Somewhere I wish I went when I was older\u2026<\/span>
\nEGYPT
\nI visited Egypt when I was 13. Even though I feel very privileged to have traveled there, I was\u00a0unable to appreciate the historical and cultural value of this amazing country at that age. Given\u00a0the chance to visit again, I think I\u2019d be even more impressed by the grandeur of what Egypt has\u00a0to offer.<\/p>\n

Somewhere I wish I could visit again\u2026<\/span>
\nSEOUL, KOREA
\nMy trip to Korea was one of the rare ones where we had joined a tour group. I\u2019ve heard so many\u00a0great things about Seoul (in relation to shopping especially) that don\u2019t exactly match up to my\u00a0personal experience. Our tour went to the key \u201cattractions\u201d like Lotte World and Namdaemun\u00a0market, but the natural rush of all tour groups did not give us the time to fully enjoy the place.\u00a0Definitely want to give it a second shot!<\/p>\n

#1 on my wish list\u2026<\/span>
\nSANTORINI, GREECE
\nI don\u2019t really know why\u2026I just want to go \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
