Luang Prabang, Laos
Really a very unique place. Lovely and most interesting. Northern Laos is very nice | Virtually unchanged since 1940! | Visit the past...quiet, peaceful... | Run away from it all!

Hong Kong, SAR, China

Beautiful city specially at night | The least boring place in the world! | Very expensive | Exciting, but gaudy, claustrophobic and overpriced. For short-term visits or for those with lots of cash only. | A beautiful harbour front, scores of islands in a mountainous setting make Hong Kong an extremely beautiful city not only in terms of natural environment but also in human achievement. From the architure of the Bank of China to the changing colours of The Centre at night, Hong Kong's modern skyline is a must-see during both day and night. | First Class city...full range of things to do & to see. An experience to be savoured!! | One of the most exciting cities on earth. Simple electrifying. | The most interesting place in the world I have ever seen. | Interesting, but overpriced. A glass of beer $4. What a joke. | Magnificent city. | Exciting, but quality of environment, and thus lifestyle, is simply awful. | A crazy place! Big contrasts: Nature to City, Culture to poverty. | The most awesome action packed city I have ever been to---outside Las Vegas.

Hangzhou, China

A remarkably green and clean city - especially for China. The West Lake is suberb - paddle across in a sampan. Good local beer. | Beach not the best...not overly crowded. | Quite nice, far more pleasant than similar places just a few miles up the road in Thailand. Relaxed pace and friendly people are more impressive than the middle-quality beaches.

Penang, Malaysia
Reasonable cost of living | You will never forget the food here! | Excellent food here | Dangerous place to go, never walk alone after dark | Perfect place to relax. | Very average. Lost a lot of its charm with so-so and dirty beaches, and depressing 1970's architecture. They still haven't finished renovating the E&O which is the major thing they had going for them. | Find excellent food here. But like a tarnished jewel, got to look a bit harder to see its charm.

Koh Samui, Thailand

Love it! Crowded at times but still a fantastic spot to relax & Thai people are always nice - if you are not rude to them | Very Cool | Once is all you need here | Beautiful, inexpensive, just enough to do and still relax. | No better place to visit with your lover! | Still nice, though not as quiet as it used to be | Beautiful local...becoming crowded! | A drunken hellhole of tourism gone wrong. Locals are rude, everything is overpriced, beaches are dirty. No possible reason to come here.

OK Good to do business - clean easy to live but boring | Best city in Asia | Easily the best place to live and enjoy. Knowing Japanese is advantageous.

Guizhou Province, near Kaili, China
An absolute magical place with dramatic mountains, dreamy mists, fresh vegetables year-round and minority people in full regalia. | Beautiful place; friendly people.
