My Unpopular Destinations Dream

As a weirdo, I think about a lot of stuffs very often. Even though those are really important or just bizarre thoughts. One of them is about the place list I want to visit in my lifetime. The main problem is that list isn't common to be the trip destination hahahaha... Not because they are such horrible or scary places, but they are not commonly chosen as the destination dream. Well, that's what weirdos do, isn't that?

So, here they are my unpopular destinations to be visited someday (hopefully, with my wife and children :p):

1. Night Safari at Singapore

I always wonder how that very tiny country has an area for providing a natural attraction. Perhaps what the wise says that "limitation makes you more creative" is definitely true. Actually, I'm not so interested with the safari itself, but I'm more attracted to explore how Singapore can preserve its natural resources while it doesn't have sufficient land to be developed anymore.

2. Az Zulfi city

Yes, it is. It's very unpopular city to be visited. The only reason I want to visit is clear: It's similar to my name! It's situated in the middle of Saudi Arabia. Wikipedia says that it has extremely hot weather during summer. There's no remarkable tourist attraction there. Based on my research, the sites where tourist can visit are Az Zulfi mosque (which is not too historical) and some beautiful landmarks. Another fact that praises me is it has an airport with IATA code ZUL.

3. San Diego

Well, it will be too naive if I say that San Diego is unpopular. But I'm quite sure most people will rarely choose this place unless you are a geek. San Diego is the city in California, USA, where the most famous comic-con is annually held. The top reason why I really want to go there is that this is the place where I can meet Power Rangers' actors and everything related to this heroic icon. Yes, I'm a biggest fan of Power Rangers and I've been dreaming to visit this event someday at least once in my life xD

The Comic Con! Please, I want to visit it!

4. Curitiba

Curitiba is a city which the most planners and planning students learn to as a best practice of city planning. In every (almost EVERY) lesson that we take to discuss about good infrastructure, good transportation, good land use management, and everything as the best practice, those are always exemplified by this Brazilian city. FYI, for those who live in Jakarta, you surely know TransJakarta or actually known as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). That transportation system was firstly introduced in Curitiba. I wish that I can visit this city someday and observe by myself what actually this city offers.

5. Kupang

Kupang is the capital of NTT province, Indonesia. I was living in this city but when I was very young. Also, in short period too. My mom said that we were living for just 2 years and then we moved again to live in Garut, West Java. I'm just curious about this city because I had lived there and whether I wanted or not, this city surely contributed a lot to my growing phase. In 2012, I visited to NTT but instead of visiting Kupang, I had a trip to Labuan Bajo and Komodo Islands.

Those dreams are absolutely not able to be granted in the near future. I have to save a lot of money to make them come true. But, making a short list of dream is free, isn't it?
