What Five Places/Events Would You Visit With A Time Machine?
Constraints:
- You can only pick five places/events before you are out of non-replaceable temporal syrup to power your time machine.
- The time machine has a natural language interface smart enough to get you were you want to go (e.g. no messed up coordinates)
- While you can take a digital camera or other such device to record events, you can’t actually change any events
- You can’t bring anybody back or take anything else with you
- You have a babelfish
- You won’t get sick, nor will you pass on sickness

Here are my Five choices (in no particular order):
- Holy Land circa 25AD to 50AD to see about Jesus and the birth of Christianity (assuming something happened)
- In Britain in the years around 470 with the British/Roman Resistance to the Saxon barbarians (checking also for you-know-who)
- With Zheng He and his Chinese explorer fleets circus 1405 to 1433.
- Taking in the sites, smells, tastes, drama, and dramas of Elizabethan England.
- Siteseeing at Eridu (the first human city) in its prime.
