1. seoul, south korea: i want to travel to seoul because i am fascinated with the asian beauty and cosmetic industry. while south korea is not the epicity of asian cosmetics, it certainly is obsessed enough with beauty, make up, and skincare for it to rank on my top visits. :-P
seoul is the capital and the largest city in south korea. it holds a population of over ten million (wikipedia). seoul has a history of over 600 years and is the heart of korea's culture and education. upon my visit, i want to visit myeong-dong, its famous shopping district. Myeong-dong is a massive shopping district. Myeong-dong Street is around 1km long and extends from Myeong-dong Subway Station (Seoul Subway Line No. 4) to Lotte Department Store at Euljiro (visitkorea.or.kr).

3. provence region, france: since learning the french language as a seventh grader, i have always wanted to travel to france. it was not until i was an adult that i learned of exactly where i wanted to visit: provence region. this piece of heaven is located in southeastern france along the mediterranean. it holds reminisce of the romans and is sprinkled with the beauty of local cuisine, lavender, and wine.
