Bucket List

[Fake Passport]

So .. I think many people have bucket list, even if its only a disjointed bunch of thoughts in your head. Whether it be places to go, things to do, skills to master etc. Off the top of my head...

Experiences:
Perform in the Edinburgh Military Tattoo - Doubt it will ever happen.
Climb Lobouche East in the Himalayas - Im not a climber, never going to summit Everest, but I reckon I could aspire to do Lobouche though.

Travel:
See Lithuania - Its my ancestral homeland and somewhere I've only recently become interested in.
Travel Canada - Particuarly take a trip on the Rocky Mountaineer
More broadly I would love to see much of Europe.

Skills:
Learn another language - It *really* bugs me I only know the one language. To be honest I don't even really care what the next language is, although either Urdu or Hindi are appealing.

Pick Locks - Not sure why, want to be able to pick locks.

Saberage - Combines two of my hobbies, drinking and swords. This is that fancy-ass way of knocking the top off a champagne bottle. I don't even drink champagne, but hey, got to have fun somehow...

Aikido and Kenjutsu - I did a bit of martial arts in teenage years, I know its probably not the most practical in a self defence situation, but I love the approach of Aikido. Kenjutsu, which is the art of the Japanese sword. I have a collection of Japanese swords, would love to learn how to use them properly.


So ... whats on your bucket list?

I think I'm a little young for this but I'll ask the old man for his...?

Usually younger people that have the longer bucket lists I thought? Maybe not the $$ to act of on it, but the younger ones are much the dreamers I thought?

Day dreaming is done in the office at home is another matter... I'll fill out a list when I have finished replying to PM's. Cheers.

To do list:

Achievements

• Qualify as a teacher (which I should do in roughly 38 months).
• Score a century, or at the very least to apply myself and build an innings for a change.

• Draw a mural (even though I'm pretty crap at drawing).

Random Experiences

People

• Go on a blind date (assuming that this is still a thing that happens).
• Meet the reigning monarch (our present Queen if possible).

Travel

• To get the train all the way from Hong Kong back home. Also would be nice to be able to afford that.

To be fair, there are quite a lot of things that I've done already. Each time I complete something from one of those five categories, I replace it with something new.

• Fall for somebody who's as crazy in the head as me and has a love for old rock music.
