I had Christmas in a chalet in the Tatry Mountains in Slovakia once. That was pretty great. The Slovaks have carp for Xmas, they buy the carp live and keep it in their bathtub.

MY GOD I think I need glasses and/or psychiatric help because I just managed to misread "bathtub" as "lamb"!

Morocco. It wasn't that exotic, but it cost nowt (we won it in a competition) and we got to go on camels and see flamingos.

i went to drumnadrochit in scotland once to spend a white christmas and it was quite exotic to me, since the smallest town/city i've ever lived in had a population of 200,000.

Went to Japan with parents (and cousins) then left for Hawaii. Made stopover in San Francisco (that way I could get a cheaper ticket). I suffered from XL Jet Lag

I love that someone thinks Drumnadrochit is exotic. Things like that make my world a slightly better place. (Drumnadrochit is kind of shorthand for all that is crap and boring and insular in the Highlands for no actual justifiable reason, and the fact that there are people who don't see it like that is a GOOD THING).

Drumnadrochit, however, does have a MONSTER. Which should by rights make it hugely exotic.

I dunno if Dunedin is supposed to be exotic or not! But it was so distant from everything and everywhere else I've known, so why not? Having a slew of friends already there, though, meant it wasn't really exotic per se. :-)

Drinking a 2.5% alcohol Michelob Light at the Hooters in downtown Oklahoma City.

India, particularly the nearly two weeks in Puri, which seemed extremely short on Western tourists, except a small hippy community in one corner of the city. Other than them we saw one other white couple and one young Japanese couple in two weeks. Kids were following us around, as some sort of exotic curiosity.

Most exotic (for me): England.
(Many of you wouldn't think that would be "exotic", but it was to me.)

Most exotic (for you): Guadalajara (in Mexico).
(Many of you would think that would be "exotic", but it wasn't to me.)

Hong Kong for me.

My friend in Baghdad was saying that being there is like in Star Wars, when the walked into that bar--really bizarre. But not in a good way.
