Includes any kind of stop except for airport-only layovers.
Here's what I've got so far:
USA: stayed in NYC for 2.5 years as a kid, visited some of the East Coast, including Canada if you count the Canadian side of the Niagara Falls
Thailand: first came here in 94, been living here for the past 2.5 years while getting my uni degree
Japan (Osaka, Hiroshima & Yakushima Island): great trip, quite a different experience compared to anywhere else...it felt like a glimpse into the future of Asia.
Czech Republic: Prague had a great feel to it, I've never seen a place with such a high percentage of beautiful people
Austria: Vienna is full of old-style aristocratic charm, combined with plenty of teenage punks for good measure.
France: Paris is great if you catch it in good weather...strong wind and overcast skies made for a bleak experience the first time I was there.
Belgium (Brussels and Gent): "Gay" would be my main comment on Brussels...seriously, it's a bit much, with all those specialized bars, stores and even bookshops, you feel weird being heterosexual in this city
Gent was very beautiful, especially since it's not marketed much as a tourist trap.
Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur & Kota Kinabalu): A bit on the dull side, but they have some notable achievements in terms of infrastructure, I guess what impressed me the most was that it was such smooth going throughout my trip there
Singapore: Let's just say I'd prefer Japan's perverse glimpse of the future than Sin City's squeaky-cleanness
Hong Kong: a bit difficult to have a clear opinion about it...again, impressively modern but I wouldn't want to live there...it tends to alienate people.
Macau: the only other place in Asia I'd love to live in...the whole city feels incredibly European, yet is inhabited almost exclusively by Chinese...strolling thru it is a great experience
Added to this is of course Romania, the beautiful and yet ****ed-up country of most of my life.
