It would be cool to visit these countries

Level 82

I've been to all of them.

Show off! XD

Level 82

May 28, 2018

To be fair it probably was pretty cool, the parts of Asia I've seen have been glorious

Level 82

May 28, 2018

All of these places were cool to visit in their own way, except Taiwan where I was just at the airport. I'm not cool for visiting them and this isn't a brag. If my comments sometimes inspire feelings of envy in you I suggest you travel more. It doesn't have to be as expensive or difficult as you think.

+20

Level 37

May 29, 2018

They know you're not cool for visiting them. It's part of the joke.

Level 82

May 29, 2018

Then it's a poorly crafted joke resting on a faulty premise. I was trying to be generous.

Level 82

Feb 18, 2019

If you hear someone say "I'm going to drive to New Jersey next weekend," and you respond with "oh? I was just there last month," would this be you bragging? Or would you be attempting to have a conversation like a normal human? Every time you make a statement about something you've done does that mean you are bragging? Are you so pathologically insecure that you can't open your mouth to even comment on something without saying something meant to inflate your ego? Are you the kind of person so in need of validation that you seek to impress the anonymous faceless members of a website that you will never personally interact with and have no desire to meet? Maybe that's true for you. And I assume it must be true for a lot of people as I see them projecting their insecurities on me and on others all the time. I wasn't bragging. If you doubt this, again, I suggest you look inward. It's your issue, not mine.

Level 82

Feb 18, 2019

I spent last year in Thailand, Japan, and the Philippines. I can't talk about visiting New Jersey last year because I didn't. If this makes it seem, to you, like to relate anything from my own experiences means I am bragging, again, a) that's on you, and b) I kindly suggest you travel more. What's stopping you?

kalbahamut, you count a country as visited if you've been to an airport there?

Level 78

Mar 3, 2021

The point is, if I've been to Tenerife, you've been to Elevenerife. This is the joke that amuses me.

+13

Level 62

Mar 8, 2018

I don't think I'd like to be friends with anyone who ever vacationed in Dubai.

Level 50

Mar 8, 2018

Agreed!

+14

Level 46

Mar 8, 2018

Any specific reason? I lived there for quite a while.

Level 75

Mar 10, 2018

Weird.

Level 77

May 13, 2018

Probably wise. However, can you make an exception in my case because I went to Dubai for a week and am now thoroughly repentant? I don't plan to return.

Level 58

Apr 15, 2020

bruv why would you even say that

+24

Level 42

Mar 8, 2018

stupid comment about Dubai, if I may say so! But prejudice is "in" these days, sadly!

Level 63

Mar 9, 2018

Why would that choice be based on prejudice?

+13

Level 82

Mar 9, 2018

You are judging someone before you know them based on the fact that they visited Dubai. Pre judging them. Prejudice.

Level 82

Mar 9, 2018

Though I think hoji was probably implying that carib hates Arabs or something... I don't know.

Level 66

May 30, 2018

Maybe that user just really hates shopping/urban vacations, since that's what Dubai is most known for. It wasn't necessarily bigoted.

Level 77

Mar 8, 2018

I would imagine that many of the visitors are those with connecting flights there. But I definitely could be wrong.

Level 64

Mar 27, 2020

Visitors count as people who have stayed at least one night

Level 20

Mar 9, 2018

Are you kidding me? Whoever wrote the second comment on this list really annoys me. Why would you EVER say something like that? Maybe you didn't mean it in the way I think you meant it, but come on! Jetpunk seems like a pretty diverse place, and I can't believe you would ever think to say something like this. I don't know if this site has administrators or something, but can someone please take this comment down?!?

+16

Level 82

Mar 9, 2018

Until carib decides to explain themselves we won't know, but I'm guessing that the comment had nothing at all to do with racism or religious bigotry or anything like that. I assume... it's probably meant to imply either a) that the people who go to Dubai are the sort of people who are happy to look the other way on things like human rights abuses, oppression of gays, women, and minorities, and wanton destruction of the environment... or maybe b) that people who vacation in Dubai are likely to be tacky tasteless rich people... or maybe sex tourists... the two demographics they seem to cater to the most.

It could be something about race or religion but if so why pick on Dubai and not Turkey or India?

Level 65

May 29, 2018

It could simply be that someone who reguarly vacations in Dubai is likely wealthy, and that they wouldn't run in the same circles due to the large difference in wealth. That is how I took it anyway.

Level 59

Aug 18, 2020

I agree, it’s probably either because of wealth insecurity or a general dislike of those who have and flaunt a large amount of money.

Level 65

Mar 9, 2018

I vacationed a few days in Dubai on my way to the Maldives. No problems. Maldives were awesome.

Level 82

Mar 9, 2018

I've been to Dubai many times. It was an improvement on neighboring Saudi Arabia where I was living at the time, but I can understand why people wouldn't like it there.

Level 60

Mar 10, 2018

Sadly, the Maldives may disappear soon. Some say it's a really nice place.

Level 47

Mar 9, 2018

Im surprised Russia is not on the list. There is lots of tundra to go visit. And some more tundra. And there is tundra. And there is lots to do in the tundra that would keep people coming, those treeless siberian plains are great.

Level 63

Mar 9, 2018

Sorry, but I'm only interested in a place that has tundra.

Level 82

Mar 9, 2018

Russia is cool. And not just in a meteorological sense. Moscow is a huge vibrant interesting city with lots to do. St Petersburg is, for my money, the most beautiful city in all of Europe. Great museums, great food, great architecture, and so many model-gorgeous open minded women connecting with me on Tinder I honestly did not have time to even say "hi" to each of them. The current Russian president also speaks highly about the quality of their prostitutes. However, all of this is in the European part of Russia. I've never been to Siberia before.

Level 82

Mar 10, 2018

It's not only tundra, there's probably more of taiga, lots of steppe in the south and Altai mountains, plus volcanoes in Kamchatka. Vladivostok has nice beaches as well, while the most beautiful are places around Baikal lake. South Siberia is quite warm in summer. Many different cultures, religions, some nice architecture also, though it's true you could drive (or take a train) for days without a change in scenery.

So there's certainly enough to fill your vacation in the Asian Russia, but it's very different and less compact than ither countries.

Level 75

May 28, 2018

On this site Russia is usually included as part of Europe. My parents toured the Soviet Union in the 1970s and it was one of the highlights of their travels - they visited Moscow, Tashkent, and Odessa on a farm tour of Europe and the Soviet Union, but at that time there were negatives, too. When their group entered a restaurant for a meal, their guide made everyone get up from their tables and stand around the edge of the room until the Americans had eaten and left. Mom was so sad at the negative impression that must have made on the people against Americans when the point of their tour was to promote better relations and cooperation among farm families through exchanges of ideas and farming methods.

You can type "ROK" for South Korea.

Level 66

May 28, 2018

same. I never guess it because I thought JetPunk considers it as part of the PRoC.

Level 67

Great quiz! Surprised that Singapore isn't on the list.

Level 39

Thailand was the first I wrote. I had never seen so many Americans at once in my lifetime

Level 76

Sometimes trial and error is the best way to go about things...

Level 50

I guessed them all in order somehow

Level 79

Where is Malaysia, the fourth most visited country in Asia?

Level 47

Mar 1, 2022

it is specifically ''asian countries where Americans goes the most'' so its normal that Malaysia is not in n4

Dang it, I forgot South Korea. I'M KOREAN LOL. I feel like I've let down all of the generations that came before me *facepalm*

Level 71

Apr 15, 2021

I'm surprised no one has brought this up, but it's worth pointing out that a *lot* of this is probably due to Asian immigrants and their families traveling to and from their countries of origin. I know plenty of Asian-Americans who travel to their home countries almost yearly. I'm not saying that tourism isn't a factor, but it's worth pointing out that Malaysia, a top tourism destination, doesn't make the cut, while India and South Korea, which don't get nearly as many tourists (though both are still in the top 10 among Asian countries), do.

Level 66

Aug 18, 2021

Surely Georgia should be on here.😊😊😊
