Where do Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge spend their holiday? Timbuktu. Where do they usually hide from their enemies? Timbuktu. Where do they go when they just want to get out from their everyday lives? Timbuktu. Timbuktu, a so far far away place, out of nowhere, a neverland, in the middle of nowhere. At least, that’s how my imagination would take me whenever I read Donald Duck when I was a kid. The word was so familiar and I always laughed when I read or said it.
I thought it was an imaginary place until I read in a magazine my Dad brought home, an article of an adventure to Timbuktu! Wow! This place really exists. It’s not what I thought the place would be but still it didn’t change what I thought about Timbuktu. A lovely getaway, a place to escape, so romantic.
So, where will I go someday? To my imaginary Timbuktu… wherever that is.
