Ok follow-up, what are the most interesting "extras" related to this list?
For example, I've been to a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery (my grandpa), have had both the normal tour of the White House as well as a special West Wing tour by a friend working there, and climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty (boy those staircases are tight)...the crown room is incredibly small. Never had a chance to climb the stairs of the Washington Monument, always forced to take the elevator. That would've been nice.

A better question is, how many different cultures have you fully experienced by walking the back roads of remote areas, interacting with the locals, learning their languages and customs, and learning what it is to live differently. Those soul-expanding experiences are deeply personal and even magical; I have had an infinitude of such experiences, but they are by their nature not relatable or scorable on some checklist. They are my very soul. The soul of a traveler, an explorer, and, most of all, the soul of a humble student of this great and beautiful world.
Education is extremely important.

I would bet dollars to donuts you’ve never even taken a serious run at another language.

You're having more and more difficulty interpreting jokes in your old age. As far as languages go, you're wrong about that too, but it's ok. I expect no more.
