Which city would it be and why?
I might be getting a chance to go overseas for work and have decided that if/when I do, I want to make a stop on my way home. Chances are my stop will be somewhere in Europe since that is the flight path anyway.
My dad suggested Paris, but I kind of want to go somewhere that I might not bother with on a true vacation.
For the record, the only euro cities I've been to are London and Warsaw.

I've done enough travelling to realise I hate it.
I will probably go to Africa within the next 24 months to push my limits and sense of comfort a little, and to some international juncture (preferably NY) if Beastie Boys bounce back omg because I'm fucking lame.

I realised that I chose non-European destinations, for durations longer than 48 hours, with no recommendation. I genuinely enjoyed Paris. And Amsterdam.

NYC.
Because of hip-hop and all the other art. I've been there twice before for short periods but it wasn't enough to see all I'd like.

The architecture and history is great. I really enjoyed the canal boat tour and Van Gogh museum.

Moscow.
I have an ongoing infatuation with visiting Russia. It started with a Lomo LC-A camera I received 10 years ago, and continued through reading Russian literature and Communist history.
I read that the public transportation there is world-class.
I'll be there one day, but could get there quicker with this free 48 hours.

That fucking Cloud City or whatever it's called in Empire Strikes Back and hang out with that Lando and his pal with the bald head and his funny headphones.

Barcelona but it's too amazing for 48 hours. I spent 48 hours in Dublin and it was about the right amount of time.

^ Absolutley...given it's only 48 hours that's where I'd go cause that's what I know...otherwise New York would be a close second because I haven't been there in 7 years...

I do enjoy history, but for 48 hours, I need a place with things to do during all hours!
I've bee leaning toward a place like Brussels (maybe find some ancestors?) or perhaps Prague or Zurich or something?
Guess I should do some research on this...

The average human emits approximately 95 watts of energy as heat in the form of infrared light. A standard 100 watt incandescent light bulb emits only about 5% of its energy as visible light, the rest is given off as heat in the form of infrared light. This means the average human produces the same amount of heat as a 100 watt light bulb.

I knew a man from Brussels. He was 6 foot 4, and full of muscles.

I would go to Barcelona, check out some world famous rock climbing walls, and for a Russian woman living there who I met in Ireland.;)
