My Impromptu Bucket List!
Before reading this prompt, I haven’t really thought of any type of Bucket List whatsoever. I was always the type of person who is “Yeah it would be super dope to do -insert activity here-“ and then forget about it a week after. But I guess this would be a good time to list my Top Three things I’d like to achieve/do in the next few years.
First thing off my list is to travel to Japan or go to France with my friends. We always talking about traveling the world and see what it has to offer. The reason why I chose these two locations are pretty important not just to me but to my friends as well. Japan because many of our pastime is heavily revolved around Japanese cultures. Many of my friends and myself are huge fans of their food since most of their history has a large tie-in with their cuisine. As well as, half my friends are weeaboos (if you don’t know what that is, it’s just a name given to people who are addicted to Japanese entertainment such as anime and manga) and would start geeking out when they hit places with Japanese Merchandise. France on the other hand is more of my choosing. Most of my family came from Vietnam which was heavily influenced by France during the Vietnam War and many of our cultures originated form France. So I’d love to visit one day to see how our cultures reflect upon one another.
Second thing I’d like to do is to go re-visit Disneyland and California Adventure. It’s not a big deal to many people but I haven’t been back to Disneyland since 2002 and the sad part is that San Diego is only a good 1.5-hour drive to get there too. Many of my co-workers and friends go frequently and always tell me that so many things are changing, and I can’t relate since I never had the chance to go back. But because many new attractions such as the new Star Wars Land and soon Marvel Land are opening soon, I’m pretty hyped to find a time where I can go to Disneyland and have a fun time.
Lastly, I would love to get out of my comfort zone and go bungee jumping. I’m not super keen on heights but the idea of free falling sounds amazing. I always see people do it at the County Fair and it seems like a whole lot of fun, but I always chickened out last minute. But the saying “I’m here for a good time, not a long time” really motivates me to go out there and enjoy life at it’s fullest. Because in the future, I might not get the opportunity to so if I don’t do it now.
Sucks that this is our last blog. I was getting the hang of it too. I guess for a bonus addition, starting my own blog outside of this class could be another bucket list. But who knows!

Hey Gary, I really enjoyed reading your bucket list. It's a given that everyone wants to travel the world, however I enjoyed your reasoning for it. Going to France to find cultural similarities sounds like a deep and profound experience. I full hardly agree with you about these blogs. At first I thought it was a chore, but now they come out so easily it's almost fun!
ReplyDeleteI know when you when you say you're the type of person who says, "It would be nice to _____" and then forget about it.
ReplyDeleteSome time ago I was on my way to Cameroon via Nairobi. I remember boarding the plane and seeing the sign with the destination, thinking, I"M not the type of person who goes to Nairobi." That really changed how I view myself and has made me more intentional. I have a way to go.
Btw, France is still my happy place. I've been twice. My plan is to go there and also Spain next year. It's Mexico this summer.
