What a fantastic thread! Being surprised is something I love more than almost anything else.
Overwhelmed:
* The number of people on the street in Harajuku, Tokyo on a Sunday. I lived in Manhattan for years and I can tell you it's not that crowded when the circus lets out at Madison Square Garden.
* Lake Bled, Slovenia. Okay, they said it was nice and magical... but HOLY COW was it magical.
Underwhelmed:
* The California redwoods. Don't get me wrong, they are absolutely beautiful. But I just thought they would blow me away... and they didn't.
* Michael Jackson. I just after Thriller came out and my parents finally got cable TV. My older sisters were watching MTV and I saw this scrawny black guy with a fro. That's him?
