I only visited Tokyo last time. On my next trip, I’d like to see more Japanese cities (and towns/villages as well).

Japan’s 10 Most Populous Cities:

1. Tokyo
2. Yokohama
3. Osaka
4. Nagoya
5. Sapporo
6. Kobe
7. Kyoto
8. Fukuoka
9. Kawasaki
10. Saitama

“Guìlín shānshuǐ jiǎ tiānxià.” I’d really like to visit Guilin on my next trip to China… and see whether this adage is merited.

“Shàng yǒu tiāntáng, xià yǒu Sū-Háng.” (Lit.: Above is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou.) Indeed, this metaphorical branding of Suzhou and Hangzhou as a Heaven on Earth is justified.

My trip to Japan was awesome. The price of sushi had me considering for a while whether to switch to a diet of Pocky sticks, but then again one doesn’t go to Nippon without some awareness that money spends itself quickly there. Despite being near-broke by the end of my stay, the trip was well worth it. I’m eager to go back again.

In addition to offering amazing food, South Korea’s also a really beautiful country and has all the amenities one could desire.

I wasn’t sure about the status of laws in Singapore regarding gum chewing (e.g., whether it’s banned absolutely or only in public areas), so I decided to simply leave my Wrigley’s and Trident at home—rather than risk confiscation or worse. The trip was great… although my jaws felt a bit stiff by the time I left.

The Philippines is definitely a haven for shopping!
