There has been a lot of talk about Bucket Lists recently. We’ve been watching the second season of An Idiot Abroad in which Karl Pilkington begrudgingly takes on some of the most common “must do before you die’ adventures. Nicole from Making it Lovely wrote a really lovely list on her blog last week. Andy and April on Parks and Recreation started on Andy’s bucket list.. with hilarious results.
Anyway! It got me thinking :) So I started a list:
(this is just the first things that came to my head, there is bound to be many more)

Be dressed as a geisha in Japan
