My first choice would be India and then after that perhaps Japan. Those are the two that appeal to me the most.

I would love to visit Japan. Techie wise and cultural wise. I love watching a program here that is like some sort of documentary about Japan. It features how they preserves their cultural structure and traditions. How they are working out plans for taking care of nature, but still excelling on the different technologies that they are developing. I would love to visit their theme parks and try their "ramen" (I love noodles!!!) Cherry Blossoms and Kimono.. I wonder if I can really visit Japan? cheers

What about India?I think India a mysterious country.It doesnt have only temples but also impressive movies and music.Some people say India is a dangerous place.You should do a lot homework before you go there.Safety comes first.lol Dont forget China.As you mentioned,Summer Palace and Great Wall are very famous.They are all in Beijing.For natural landscape,you can visit the west of China,you can go to Tibet,the highest land in the world.I will go to Lhasa this summer vacation.Its on the top of my travel list.lol Good day!

Hey Amy! I would love to explore my country first. I have never been to other places here other than Bohol. Although I personally think that Bohol is the best tourist destination in the country. In fact Bohol is named as the tourist capital of the country. I would like to go to Baguio, Palawan, Boracay, and Davao. Overseas I'd like to go to Thailand. I like Thailand.

I am from the Philippines and if you have time, come and visit us here.. We've got lots of beautiful places to offer such as Boracay, Pagudpud, Palawan, Batanes, San Juan in Batangas, Tagaytay, Cebu, Davao, Siargao, Camsur and many more.. If given a chance, I would like to explore my own country and other countries in Asia such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and Korea.. =)

I have been to Malaysia and Singapore. I am looking forward to go to Macau, China, Hongkong, Thailand and Indonesia. Traveling outside my country gives me the new experience how other culture works. It nice to get out of my comfort zone at times.

I have travelled four times already, twice in Thailand last 2007 and twice in Singapore last year. I am thinking of travelling to other Asian countries like China, Jong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia. I hope that I can travel to those places either this year or next year.

Nepal and China is very close, so if you have a chance go to Nepal, do not forget to make a tour to China. Great Wall and Summer Palace, both of them are worth to have a visit. and Chinese ppl are all politely and friendly to welcome the tourist all over the world.

Hi Amy, frankly it is very difficult choice to make, each of them is so attractive to tourists...I would love to start with Thailand, China and then Japan, Indonesia, Korea and cover the rest of the countries...I would love to travel to all these countries as much as i would love to explore Europe and Middle East..

I'm in the Philippines, so I'd rather see a place that has a different climate. Usually places with a similar climate tend to have the same things, nature-wise (in this case Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand...). I'd love to see more of China, Korea, Japan, the Himalayan countries, and Israel (when it's not war-torn).

I've been to China, Macau, Hongkong, Taiwan, Korea and Philippines before so if I get a chance I would visit Japan and Singapore. I think Japan is still the most advance country in Asia and Singapore is the cleanest one so I would suggest the same for you to visit.

Japan is more advanced country in Asia and Singapore is the cleanest, but China is the most developing country in the world. Welcome to China if you have chance, you must find out the country you visit again is not it used to be. Change is making everyday. Don't forget to visit China once more if you have time to Asia!

I absolutely adore Hongkong. It is my most favorite place in Asia. It is the one country I keep on going back to visit every year. It does not hurt that the airfare from my country to Hongkong is a bit cheap. For me, Hongkong is the most vibrant and exciting place in Asia. Here, you are always safe even if you are strolling the streets at midnight. Even at midnight, a lot of shops and restaurants are still open. But what I love most about Hongkong is not the sights and tourist spots at all, but the food and the shopping. Nothing comes close to Hongkong when it comes to these two things. Truly the best and I never get tired of this country at all. The second-best on my list would be Thailand. I like this country also because of the food and the shopping. Everything is really cheap here. If only Thailand is safe, I would prefer this over Hongkong.

Well,I would like to visit places in Singapore and Malaysia:
"Singapore is a small country on a small island, but with over four million people it's a fairly crowded city and in fact second only to Monaco as the world's most densely populated country. The center of the city — consisting roughly of Orchard Road, the Riverside and a chunk of Chinatown — is known in acronym-loving Singapore as the CBD (Central Business District).
* Riverside (Civil District) — Singapore's colonial core, with museums, statues and theaters, not to mention restaurants, bars and clubs.
* Orchard Road — Miles and miles of shopping malls.
* Bugis and Kampong Glam — Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's old Malay district, now largely taken over by shopping
* Chinatown — The area originally designated for Chinese settlement by Raffles, now a Cantonese enclave in predominantly Hokkien Singapore.
* Little India — A piece of India to the north of the city core.
* Balestier, Newton, Novena and Toa Payoh — Budget accommodations and Burmese temples within striking distance of the center.
* North and West — The northern and western parts of the island, also known as Woodlands and Jurong respectively, form Singapore's residential and industrial hinterlands.
* East Coast — The largely residential eastern part of the island contains Changi Airport, miles and miles of beach, and many famous eateries. Also consists of Geylang Serai, the true home of Singapore's Malays.
* Sentosa — A separate island developed into a resort, Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets to Disneyland.

Malaysia
--------------
Islands
Some of the most stunningly beautiful things about Malaysia are its tropical islands. And there's more to them than sun, sand and surf: particularly on the East Coast and Borneo's Sipadan there are coral reefs and hence excellent diving .
* Labuan - offshore finance centre off the coast of East Malaysia, Borneo
* Langkawi - An archipelago of 99 islands this is a destination known for its beaches, rainforest, mountains, mangrove estuaries and unique nature. It is home to some of Malaysia's most opulent resorts all the way through to very reasonable budget accommodation. It is a duty free port which makes for a great value destination.
* Pangkor - fishing community and less well-known tourist destination off the west coast
* Penang (Pulau Pinang) - former British colony known as the "Pearl of the Orient", and bustling island city with excellent cuisine
* Perhentian Islands - glittering jewels off the East Coast still undiscovered by mass tourism
* Redang Island - popular destination for scuba divers
* Sipadan Island - remote scuba diving paradise at the easternmost tip of Malaysia
* Tioman Island - once nominated one of the most beautiful islands in the world

Since i am here in the Philippines, i guess i would choose Thailand. I love their art of Muay Thai and i would love to see Muay Thai matches live and with Thai competitors. I think it would be a blast! Though i don't think Thailand is any different from the Philippines in terms of economy, i still would love to go to Thailand. If you allow me to have my second choice, then i would choose Japan. I think it's a pretty interesting place and i kind of love their culture though they're a bit uptight for my taste.

quite right, I think Thailad is a very good place to visit, which has a long histroy and famous for its Buddhism. how many temples are in this country? I am not sure, thousands of temples there and no one can give out a precise number.
Japan is beautiful, too. Seafood,Fuji,and beautiful countryroad ect. all of these worth us to have a visit!

I have traveled extensively in Asia. It is very difficult to pick out one country. I love them all!. If forced to pick one then I would go for Malaysia. Such friendly people and a wide choice of wonderful places. Langkawi, Penang, South Borneo, North Borneo and the capital city Kuala Lumpur to name but a few. "Malasia, Truly Asia" as the advert says. You are already in China so I suggest Vietnam as the alternative to Malaysia but Cambodia, Indonesia( avoid Bali) and Thailand are also very beautiful and interesting. I have never been to the Philippines but would love to go there some day . You have a difficult decision to make but you will have a wonderful holiday.

Since I live in Philippines, I will love to go to Korea and Japan. Lots of cool items and good sceneries to see.. The next thing is Macau... Heard that lots of cheaper but good quality compared to other countries.
In Philippines, there are lots of tourist destinations which are well-known. My favorite place is Tagaytay where it is a cozy and quiet place as well as the scenery is clean and fresh air. No pollution. It has good food and cheap environment friendly products you can use. I always go there during outings only.. You can try it.

My plan is to visit Singapore to check the grand hotels there and other landmarks. I heard it is a very nice, clean and organize country. I also love to visit China and study their culture and language and visit the historical chinese palaces and like you I also wanted to visit the Great Wall of China. Indonesia is also one of the asian countries that I wanted to visit as I love volcanoes and you can find a lot of volcanoes in Indonesia. Being addicted in korean dramas, I also wanted to visit korea and see the beautiful sites there and perhaps, visit the places where they shoot my favorite korean dramas.
