exotic sounding places

[naxos]

Since I got back, I've been amusing myself by being an armchair traveller and thinking of cool places I could, potentially, visit one day. As many of these places are purely names on an atlas to me, I was thinking on the way home about what are the most exotic sounding places in the world one could potentially visit.

I always think of "Constantinople and Timbuktu" because they're mentioned at the end of Hop on Pop. They always seemed very exotic to me.

isn't it Istanbul (not Constantinople)? :)

That would be a cool place to visit, too. Hey and thanks for the CD! ...we're going to listen to it in the car this weekend I think.

Did you ever notice that all the exotic sounding place names have three syllables?
