I DO want to get lost in the Mongolian wilderness (Mongolia has the lowest population density of any country!), taste real Mongolian cuisine, and attend a Mongolian festival (the big 3 sports are wrestling, horseback riding and archery), but it's not THE one.

I will come back and haunt the world if I do not get to see Mexico's ruins before I die, and I really want to try authentic Mexican cuisine (closest I got was San Diego), but it's not THE one either.

I want to see the fabled thousand pagodas of Myanmar one day, but Thailand, Laos and Malaysia take priority in Southeast Asia.

Barcelona, Madrid... Spain and its wonderful sights and cuisine are near the top (Spain has the 2nd most UNESCO World Heritage sites of any country!), but Spain isn't THE one.

I adore ancient ruins (which is why I picked Cambodia to visit after graduation), and what could be more breathtaking than an entire lost city?
Machu Picchu is the main reason I'd love to visit Peru, but there are many others such as Chan Chan and Chavin de Huantar. I'd also love to see the Andes and the native festivals. The food is a great - with 8 different climates in Peru, there are a lot of dishes to sample.

IB, you are correct..... in assuming that I also don't do tomato sauces. So no pizza, no lasagna, no spaghetti sauce. And no ketchup either
As for eggs, I'll eat the white of a hard boiled egg, but not the yolk. So, I do have somewhat of a problem with eating eggs.
Peppers. Bleck! enough said.
And no to low mein noodles. I like my noodles plain with butter only.

The only way/time I eat squash is when it is a squash pie. Otherwise I don't touch the stuff.
