Regarding the locations. Overall, the contest turned out to be surprisingly interesting. Initially, I just wanted to skip it, and then submit some beautiful natural location, but I honestly admitted to myself that I am more attracted to urban jungles.
1 - 4. The Alps are beautiful, but I am a child of civilization, so I would only visit them for a day trip for general cultural enrichment. It's better to look at photos on Google or buy Skyrim.
2 - 2. No, no, no, and a thousand times no. It's terribly hot there, and I'll get heatstroke after ten meters, and it's also a desert. The architecture is good, so it's not a one, but it's not worth it.
3 - 3. It's scary to imagine how much the internet costs there and how to live there at all. A one-day trip for general cultural enrichment.
4 - 8. I'm not particularly interested in Japan, but it's a beautiful country with a lot of interesting achievements of civilization, historical monuments, and other cool things, so I could stay there for a week or two and visit that lighthouse, why not.
5 - 5. I simultaneously dream of visiting Altai and understand how bad things are there in terms of civilization. Exactly the same, a one-day trip for general cultural enrichment.
6. Unfortunately, it's not real. But I would really like to visit London, maybe even live there for some time, or even move there permanently if I like it (I'm just saying hypothetically, I'm unlikely to decide on that). I love big cities, walking around them, visiting museums and parks. There are many interesting things in London, it is a beautiful ancient city with a rich history, and who knows, maybe one day I will hear that very sound somewhere around the corner.
7 - 5. In general, it's more or less the same as in other similar places, but I dream a little bit about New Zealand, so I'll put it higher.
8 - 4. Nothing new, all the same pros and cons as with other natural locations. The Great Lakes are a cool theme, but not enough to arouse any particular interest in me.
9 - 8. It's all the same as in the fourth point.
