5) Mt. Bromo, Indonesia
6) Gibraltar

Ten isn't enough... so a few more I want to add.

Mongolia

I think I could go on, but I will leave it at that.

1. Bhutan
2. Tibet
3. Georgia (the country)
4. Papua New Guinea
5. Mongolia
6. Madagascar
7. Mozambique
8. Burma/Myanmar
9. Nepal
10. Morocco

These are countries that I don't see my self being able to making it too in some time, if ever being able to. They are mostly dreams of grandeur, and if I make it to at least half of them I will be thrilled. My primary country to visit right now is Ukraine, but seeing as how I should be going there this summer I left it off.
