Not to be overly morbid XD
What you have/ want to do before you pass on?
Have you 'crossed' anything off your bucket list already?
If so, how did you get inspired to do it?

Lol nice. I was just thinking of updating mine today!
I might take this down later since it might prove to be too personal, but my current bucket list has over 200 things listed on it :D I've completed about 80 of them, including:
Pet a tiger (had a 600 lb one snoring+purring in my lap when I was in Thailand)
See a Broadway production (I saw the Addams Family in April)
Make a snow angel (I'm from Hawaii, but I was able to make a snow angel when I came to NY!)
Ridden an elephant (Singapore, Cambodia, Nepal, & Thailand)
Touched a rhino
Scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef (did that in June!)
Ride in a hot air balloon (Cambodia)
Get a gold medal (gymnastics - state champion)
Learned to knit
Saw a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theater (I was attending University of Cambridge in England at the time)
Shot an AK-47 in Vietnam
Learned to walk in heels (lol)
Things I still want to do:
Drive a golf cart
Play polo
Write a satire
Invent something
Foster an old dog
Cross country horseback riding trip
Make a plushie
Watch baby turtles run for the ocean
Learn Thai kickboxing
As kazekoh said, it's all about the mindset. And thinking creatively. I did a lot of the things without having to spend that much money. Also I'm addicted to the adrenaline rush of just going after it.

@spindrift Oh wow! That is incredible all you have done so far! :D I hope one day to go to Thailand. Did you like it there?
I also want to learn how to knit.. XD And Heels, I can't do them so I admire that..XD;
Driving a golf cart is really fun by the way~ :D I would recommend trying it. Just know it can be a bit touchy XD

Those are cool ones~
I have been to the Great wall. ^^ It was pretty cool..and a lot bigger then I thought it was. Just a tip though when you do go, the stairs aren't at all even! One step will be 15.2 cm ( 6 inches ) and then the next one would be 45.7 cm ( 18 inches). I wish I'd known when I went so thats why I share

LOL did you end up skinning a knee running up them?
I hate it when you miss judge a step, I have done it carrying stuff and thinking there is one more step..ouchy.

I was having a hard enough time WALKING up, much less running! D8 They are just so uneven that I felt if I moved to fast I was going to fall and become a bouncing ball. xD
However, I did see people running up and down, but then again they lived there. XD
Oh I hate that too x-x
Heading my bucket list is to move to Scotland. Luckily, I get to do that next year!

Thailand is amazing! It is one of my most favorite countries to visit, ever. I've gone there a few times now (Bankok, Krabi, Pattaya, etc.), and it's always been a blast. And haha, my friends find it weird that I've traveled a lot but have also seemingly missed out on "normal" things, like driving a golf cart. It's amusing but I hope that it is also portrayed as interesting. In any case, I will definitely keep your advice in mind :P

I don't have a bucket list as such but I do have a worse case list. This is something me and my friends did when we were kids (Between 16-19) We used to make up a natural disaster and how we would survive it. The funny thing is so far I am the only friend who went through one of our scenarios. Survive a hurricane washed out city that has no real police force and is flooded......... ( I survived by doing what I said I would all those years ago, heading for a mall to get supplies and hunker down nearby for military to arrive and take order back)
