#7 See a world's largest something

This is the Daibatsu-den (Hall of the Great Buddha) in Nara, Japan, the world's largest wooden structure. The current Dabatsu-den was restored in 1709 and is two-thirds its original size. It's 157 feet tall and 187 feet wide.


The Buddha inside is 53-feet tall. If you can crawl through the hole below (the same size as Buddha's nostril), you'll have a fast-track to enlightenment.

Awesome. You know, you can also post that you went to Japan. That would mark off the exotic location goal. Hmmm, did you try to fit through that hole?
