Nitpick: these are all countries, not towns.
- RiderOfGiraffes 18y agoIn what way are Manchester, Glasgow, Paris, Stockholm, Ballarat and Phillip Island, "countries" ?? Perhaps I've completely mis-understood your nitpick. Besides, the originals are things near population centers. Technically some of the population centers are cities and not towns, but the term is sufficiently generic that I thought it was suitable. And the things I've suggested are intended to be specific to hackers. The Flakirk wheel, for example, is technologically fantastic, and a tourist attraction, and a brilliant demonstration of Archimedes principle. Similarly the others are, to my thinking, of interest to hackers. Hence the question.
- ido 18y agoI read your post as a recomendation for someone traveling to "the UK...Paris...Sweden... Australia". 3 of those are countries. But this is admittedly a silly discussion so lets not continue it, ok? :)
- RiderOfGiraffes 18y agoAgreed. The intention was to find things that hackers would think interesting to look at or visit when travelling. Perhaps hackers either don't travel, or when they do, don't bother to look at things. I found the Falkirk wheel utterly brilliant, and the Musee de l'Air fascinating.
