ACTIVITY 4
Task: Which of places in the world will you include on your bucket list? Give at least five (5)
destinations and provide a brief explanation as regards your choices.
1. Megijima, Seto Inland Sea, Japan Megijima is a small island in Japan's Seto
Inland Sea, not a popular destination with its
only tourist attraction being the ogre's cave.
Known as Onigashima, the island is believed
to be the home of Japan's oni, or ogres, and
the setting of the famous Momotaro folklore.
While that's certainly interesting, what draws
me to this island is a Japanese novel I read
once, which described the simple life on the
island through the eyes of a tourist who
explored it entirely by bike. The novel also
spoke of the island's unique atmosphere as a
truly peaceful place. With a population of just
150 people, this is no surprise. Its beautiful
coastline provides a wonderful venue for a
leisurely stroll, and the local fishing culture is
both fun and relaxing. If I had the chance, this
is the place I would live in without a doubt, as I
long for that certain peace I once read about
when I was young. One day, I will visit and
experience it for myself.
