Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore
I'm travelling to Australia from Europe via Asia. This is my first time
travelling outside of Europe and just want to get people's opinion as which of the above Asian cities should I visit on my 3-days stop over? Thanks in advance! |

Hong Kong and Singapore are quite westernized. HK has unique Chinese characters in a western world. Singapore is very multi-cultural, but is politically controlled and rather boring. Bangkok gets a lot of tourists but retains a Thai culture. KL don't get as much tourists. |

So PeterL which city would you pick? From what you wrote, looks like

No experience here regarding KL. I think Hong Kong is the way to go in that you have never been to any of the above. Regards, s |

I have been to all cities several times and lived in Bangkok for nine months. These are all great destinations. HK remains my favorite international destination, even if things are more expensive than BKK or KL. Perhaps it depends on what interests you. I happen to love everything about HK, including the main island, HK, and surrounding islands. Whatever you want - HK has it. One is also close to Macau, New Terriotories and China outside the SAR. Cantonese food is my favorite - perhaps not yours. Perhaps BKK would be my second choice but Singapore is also a great city. rg |

Thanks Steve Cain and Sharkbait for your comments. Looks like both of
you love Hong Kong. I guess what I'm looking for is a good "asian" experience, whatever that may be or if that can even be defined...It's just that I won't be making this sort of trip again in a long time and just want to get the most of my trip in that "part" of the world. Thanks again for all your comments. Please keep them coming! |

In article . com,
says... I'm travelling to Australia from Europe via Asia. This is my first time travelling outside of Europe and just want to get people's opinion as which of the above Asian cities should I visit on my 3-days stop over? Visit Bangkok (preferably) or Singapore. I would skip HK - too crowded and not that many things to see. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
