My goal every year is to travel in a least one country and learn more about its culture and also see all the historical and beautiful sites there. For the past few years I have visited various countries in asia since I am from here and it is economical especially when my stay is only for a few days. The recent place I visited was Singapore and it is one of my favorites. Singapore is not that big but it is very clean and beautiful. I love Sentosa. I also love the fact that they are very active in promoting tourism for the place. The shopping is also great!

I have never been outside of the United States. I might visit Asia one of these days. I'd hire a travel guide and have them show me around. I'd hate getting lost in a foreign country.

It sounds very good. It always great to see other countries and how they are developing so far, visiting different new places, etc. I have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, USA, France and just a stop over for one night in Tokyo on the way to US. I was working as marketing and mainly for export. So I travel a lot and have a chance to see different places and meeting different people. What would be your next destination?

Yes you should take the trip to Malaysia when you were going to Singapore. It can safe a lot of money. But, it is also ok if you can go to Malaysia in different time. You can take longer time in Malay. I spent a couple of days in KL which is mostly looking at the city, shopping and other things like other city has. Then I was going to Penang, another small island on the other side of KL. If you like gambling, you may want to stop by in their casino somewhere in Genting area.

Hi, I plan to go to Malaysia next year..I really regretted that i didn't hit two birds with one stone when i was in Singapore. They say you can take the bus to and from both places . Too bad my time was too short to be able to travel to Malaysia. How did you find the place?

I have visited China 3 times, Japan once, Thailand once. Also, Hong Kong in 1996 and 2002, so before and after its return to China. In China, I have been to Xian, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, the Three Gorges, Yellow Mountain. My last trip was in 2002, so maybe it's time for a return.

There really is a lot of places to discover in China. I've been to Beijing but I also want to go to Shanghai and Quilin someday. I liked Hongkong and Thailand but I haven't been to Japan so it's also on my wishlist.

I remember saying 'I like Hong Kong, but I love Tokyo and Shanghai. Bright lights, big city. Those two cities just seem more exotic to me.

I think China is a place we should all go there in our life. Things have been terrific there since the great improvement in 1980 and with the successful organized Beijing Olympic Games,it has turned to be an attractive country. In there,you can see travel from modern times to historic moments,because the long history of more than 5000 years. Other countries like Korea is somewhat exaggerated for the modern life. But we can not deny the fashionable lifestyle amongst the young teenagers there!

I studied in Beijing for a number of months and I found it an enriching experience. The culture and history there is so rich. I love riding the bus to go to the different districts. I also love the food. It's so cheap and delicious especially those sold in the streets. I enjoyed the hotpot, dumplings, peking duck etc. I like going to the parks there . I liked Houhai lake and Beihai park. I had such fond memories there.

really?it sounds cool.Actually I'm from Ningbo in China.So where are you from? Life in China is crowded by people,when you go somewhere by bus ,they will push you back and forth.It's also a life culture in China.The food here is terrific,many people admit it.Hope your Beijing memory can last long.

I have visited Singapore three times. I have been to Sumatra in Indonesia and to Malaysia. I have visited Hong Kong. I have been to Israel, Jordan and Turkey. I have visited the Maldives. Singapore is a lovely destination and I especially like it. Last time I was there I discovered the National Park. Sentosa is a wonderful place to go for a swim. I enjoyed shopping there very much indeed. Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia I found was superb for shopping too.

Hi maximax8. I'm very interested to go to Maldives someday as I heard it has beautiful beaches. I wasn't able to go to National Park but I plan to go back to Singapore someday too so I will definitely check it out. Malaysia is my top priority next year. =)

Hello. I have been visiting Southeast Asia on my business trips. I have been to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Each country is very unique, geographically, culturally, and traditionally. I was in the capital cities, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, and Hanoi. I was very impressed with the cities.

I've been to China, Japan, Singapore and Philippines. I love Japan because it's so clean and the people are so nice. Singapore has a nice nightlife and it's clean, too. As for the Philippines, there are a lot of nice islands to visit so it's a nice place, too. China is rich in history so it's a very interesting place to go to if you're a history buff.

One of my dreams is to travel around the world. But up to now I've only been to two countries, both of which locate in Asia. In 2002 I've been to Thailand and stayed there for a week. I spent most of the time walking in the beach. I enjoyed such feeling very much. One year ago I went to Singapore with my friend. We travelled around this island mainly by its developed subway system. The air there was very fresh and trees could be found everywhere. In the future I wish I could visit more countries, but before that I plan to travel around my own country, in which there are also many beautiful sceneries.

journey to Asia - If you want to have a journey to Asia, in my eyes, China is really a proper place where you can enjoy a better time.
I am from China and I have visited Singapore several times. Singapore, located in the tropics, is regared with the country of gardens. There are no high mountains but you can enjoy a beautiful centery of a city full of flowers and trees. Yes, Singapore is just a city but it is really worth visiting. If you want to visit some countries in Asia, in my eyes, China is a better choice for you. Here, I am sure you can enjoy a better journey. In fact, it is a country full of beauty and rich cultural deposits. Have a nice day!

Hi, I have visited just one Asian country and that is Vietnam, but it was many years ago. It was very wonderful and I was travel with my father. We made many photos and I have met all my relatives in Vietnam( I've forgot to mention, that my father is Vietnamese). I was very excited. Now I would like to go to Japan, because love this country. I would like to get know with the japanese culture, with the life there.

I love to travel. I almost got in every part of our country. And now, I booked a flight in Hong Kong and Macau this Febuary. I am also planning to go in Singapore but before that, I wanted to visit Thailand and Vietnam first after HK and Macau. The last thing I will visit in Asia is Japan. I'll save the best for the last. Hehehe It's also pretty hard to get a Japan Visa. They are very strict on tourist, especially if you are Filipino. It's pretty sad but I understand them. You guys should also visit the Philippines! Tell me if you plan to visit here, I was planning to have a get together for Mylot members. I was not able to attend their previous meetings. But if you guys plan to go here, just tell us so we can have a tour!

I travel quite a bit for business. I had a few projects in China (Beijing and Shanghai). I also completed projects in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore. I would have to say that Singapore is probably one of my favorite places.
