Fun quiz! Minor suggestion: why not put 'EAST Asia' in the title as well?

Glad you liked it. I think I'm going to make one that follows Che Guevara's journey through South America next. That way I can make a quiz in a similar format and not end up feeling so self-absorbed.

from the Philippines, yes, but, if you notice, I said I went back to Bangkok first. Then I flew east to Vietnam.

Best airport is more of an opinion than a fact. For all I know it could have been Perth Airport.

If you'd ever been there you'd probably know it was a fact, not an opinion. Even if you for some reason felt like disagreeing, SkyTrax polls travelers every year and gives out awards to the best airports and airlines. Singapore Changi crushes all competitors every single year.

Kal's basically correct (but not completely), Singapore crushes it MOST years, not every single year. Icheaon airport in South Korea was ranked first in 2009 and 2012. So, while "every single year" is clearly false, or at least hyperbole, it still has a stranglehold on the #1 spot more times than not.

yeah this was far from the only time I was in Asia. A huge chunk of my life has been spent in Asia - more than anywhere else aside from North America. I visited India with my mother in 2013 or 2014 I think.

We visited Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Varanasi. We were in Varanasi for Holi. I would have gone some other places but we didn't have a lot of time.
