I only know Toronto. A lot of Chinese there? But the air flight very long.
Some say Tasmania gd, some say nothing much and boring. Perth seems gd!
How many days u going japan? Since u r going west, east and north part. Which season btw?


Always eat pizza and pasta also sian. Did u try the tiramisu?
ok la . Is eat diff type of pizza n pasta ma. They have other food also but pasta n pizza more common. I did not try tiramisu but I eat a lot of gelato n drink coffee there. Their gelato is by e cup size . Even e smallest size can order up to 2 flavor. Coffee there is nice too n you can't find any Starbucks etc there coz Italian v proud of their own Italy coffee. Lol.

Wide traveling experiences! :)
How's norway, brazil and uae trip? Maldives must b very beautiful!

Yesh, canada toronto seems not bad also, saw a bit traveling program abt it.

Watched tw traveling program online, switzerland snowing places very beautiful, make me feel like going there! But it looked super cold at the mountain area. *frozen*

Wow, all in 1 for how many days? Must b very ex. Brussels do wat?

Norway was nice but very expensive. Went there for work but did a side trip to Tromso to see the Northern Lights. Brazil I went for work and didn't have much time to venture out of my hotel in Sao Paulo.

Maldives is nice but I'm hoping to go to Bora Bora next year to do a comparison.

Toronto is quite boring imho (I stayed there for 2+ years). You need to travel out of Toronto see the vast nature (Niagara Falls, 1000 island, Bark Lake etc).

My upcoming trip is about 3 weeks. Brussels is just a short stop. Go there eat brussel sprouts :s13:

Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia (actually Bintan nia), Macau, London, Finland

Finland. Been there a lot of times (for all four seasons) coz I've got friends there who are willing to provide free accommodation for me. :s13: Love the weather there, and literally just relax through the entire holiday. Weekend mornings are literally "wake up and smell the roses" (that's what older couples do when they go for their morning walks!). Summer can be really hot during the day (especially when there's no aircon T_T) though. Restaurant food can be quite expensive. Can only stick to ready-to-go meals and sandwiches from supermarkets (which are already good enough actually). Perhaps the only thing I didn't really like about the place is that shops close way too early... They do open longer during summer, but during other seasons, especially winter, they close like at 5-6pm... There's really nothing to do in the evening, except to lounge around at home around the fireplace and watch TV/DVDs...

3) Your next holiday trip to where?

Japan is definitely on my list, but probably not the immediate next destination. Next trip is probably Thailand or Hong Kong... or maybe Finland again. =:p

Yes Vancouver has more Chinese than Toronto. But Toronto has a good mix of many nationalities. Greek, Russian, Chinese, Thai, Korean etc.

I've heard that the Turks aren't friendly. Met a backpacker from the US of A who was in Turkey, he said the Turks are pretty obnoxious. He pretty much traveled the entire country (Turkey).

It's not really good when you have to stay in the countries for anywhere between 2 days to 2 months. :s13:

Maldives is made up of islands so you will be staying beside the sea regardless where you stay (except for Male, their capital).

I don't find Toronto laid back honestly. Niagara falls is a 2+ hr drive from Toronto so I've been there quite a few times. During one NYE countdown, they had a fireworks display as well.
