Unconventional vacations

One of the things I do when I'm bored at work and don't feel like actually doing work, is read about different countries and vacations. I have a list of places to go someday, and I just added North Korea to that list.

I don't love NK or communism, but I think I'd be interesting to see a nation that has been cut off from the world for such a long time. I don't think I'd have an issue abiding by their rules for tourists, and I know better than to trash other people's countries while I'm in them.

So...most people dream of going to France or Japan or whatever. I want to see those, sure. But I also want to visit"

Romania
Poland
Argentina
Vietnam
Israel
Iran
Georgia - the country, not the state

I could go on and on. I don't think Israel or Poland are really that odd, but some people I talk with seem to think they are. "Why would you go to Poland?" "Well, why NOT go to Poland?"

I'd love to visit Mexico, if it ever becomes safe again. I also absolutely believe Iran would be safe to visit, so long as one keeps his mouth shut and pride swallowed.

What are your less than usual destinations?

I don't believe your holiday list is too unconventional. I guess they could be called odd because most people would prefer to go to the famous holiday spots. I would like to visit as many countries as possible since they all have different cultures and customs and are really interesting.
