For those not able to travel as frequently, those enchanting scenic areas near home and beaches aren't quite as fulfilling when it's snowing out.. where, in that case, would you go to rejuvenate and unwind?

The mountain, in the island of Borneo that you mentioned belongs to Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu is the capital of the state of Sabah. And Sabah is in Malaysia. The Indonesian side of Borneo is called Kalimantan....and ofcourse don't forget the Bruneians, a country nestled between two Malaysian states. So you should change the title of Mount Kinabalu, Borneo to Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia. And I'm a malaysian...you'll be surprised of the ethnic diversity found in Malaysia, and if you're not surprised then I welcome you as another citizen of the world :-) I have to correct you about Mount Kinabalu, it is in Borneo, but in Malaysian Borneo.

We met a Thai monk who visits Mahabodhi regularly and is considered one of the elders of the temple. We spent most of the time with him. The rest was visiting the temples built by the individual countries. No, we weren’t. We met a Thai monk who visits Mahabodhi regularly and is considered one of the elders of the temple.

I haven't been able to venture too far away from the Heartland of the U.S.A. As far as where I've been, I found Little Rock, AR to be like a complete getaway from its surroundings. I believe that it has some Native American history, which is why a community was built there. I also think that central Illinois has a certain charm to it. There's a lot of fairly undisturbed land. Lastly, West Virginia struck me as an area that I would like to take a longer look at. Much like Little Rock, it seemed like an "exception" to it's surroundings, if that makes sense.

Obviously I have a big connection with the Himalayan region - Tibet, India and China. However, Ayers Rock in Australia is certainly a very special place. Also, the lands in the USA sacred to the Hopi Indian Clan have an incredible sense of peace. How about you Trey? Hi Trey.

How about you Trey?

I wish I could afford to go there. @ Naomi, I understand what you mean about bookstores. I can easily sit down with a book or two, and spend hours at one, and feel at peace with myself. It's one of the few places left where people tend to be in high spirits, instead of rude and inconsiderate. @ Daily Minder, is there any places on the western hemisphere that you feel this way about?

There is something wonderful about being surrounded by all that knowledge and majesty. Beautiful. Funny you say that Naomi but I have always felt the same way about libraries.

Two, actually. I unwind in bookstores. It feels like the air is just easier to breathe in there. I can seriously feel the tension coming out of my shoulders, especially when I'm in one of my regular haunts. (Having just moved to another country, I'm fresh out of regular haunts at the moment, though.) The other is London. As in, England. I love the busyness. It's not really a relaxation place but a rejuvenation place. Being surrounded by so many other people with so many different lives makes it much easier to put things in perspective, I find.
