5 Places in OTL you would like to visit for a week

[Thucydides]

Five places, cannot stay there longer than a month, or shorter than a day. Must specify when, where, and how long. This is assuming you are an average middle class person who can blend in and out, also assuming you speak the language fluently. You will also be able to live in relative comfort for your stay. For battles you can be an observer, or a participant, but you need to tell us which, you cannot get killed or seriously injured in the battles. You cannot change anything about said events, and if anyone even thinks about saying butterflies in relation to not changing anything I will eat them alive.

So

1893, Chicago World's Fair, Two Weeks
113 AD, Rome, One Week
1863, Gettysburg, Three Days (Participate Union Side)
1914, Sarjevo, One Day
1776, Philadelphia, One Day

 

[wilcoxchar]

1904, Saint Louis World's Fair, Two Weeks
1912, Vienna, One Month
1492, Seville and environs, Three Weeks
1500s, Mocha, Yemen, One Week
1670, Amsterdam, Two Weeks

I presume we can take day trips from the city to go elsewhere, provided it's not too far? I want to go see Columbus sail off from Palos de la Frontera but still be able to enjoy Seville.

As for my choices, I guess that rather than wanting to see specific events, I'd rather just enjoy the typical culture and setting of the various places and time periods I chose.

[Thucydides]

Damnit I should have gone to Vienna, ah should have thought of that.

 

[wormyguy]

Are we allowed to change history when we go back, or just observe?

 

[ImperialVienna]

Damnit I should have gone to Vienna, ah should have thought of that.

Vienna is the center of the universe after all!

 

[wilcoxchar]
