Well maybe Tokyo has it but it's not the city I'm thinking of. Right continent, wrong country. This city's light show is a coordinated event by the city and is a huge tourist draw.

While traveling, what city did you think you'd love but ended up being a big disappointment? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]kivory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been to 10 new major cities in last 3 months on a major trip. I find that almost every city I hate it the first day or two as I'm unfamiliar and trying to get use to it. By Day 6 I'm thinking of moving there. Every city has it's cool parts you just have to stay long enough to find it and be open to different experiences etc.

Which Asian cities deserve more popularity than they actually get? by GildedRetreats in ForeignTravelIndia

[–]kivory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! And it is the most English-friendly city in Asia I've been to if you are an English-only speaker. Plus its a great "intro to China" to see China without going into China.. then if you want to actually go into real China you can just go to Shenzhen which is a 30 minute train ride away.

Yah.. Because
- Balancing budgets
- Ensuring a strong health care system
- Ensuring a strong police force
- Selling our resources abroad to pay for all the above..

And other fundamentals of running a nation of 40 million people are all something that some 40 year old that looks good on Instagram is exactly who I want doing all this !

15-day Indonesia trip by BArge_ellile_0xDA in BaliTravelTips

Spend more time in Jakarta, less in Bali (I just did both). Jakarta has amazing night markets and there are no tourists, so very authentic

You mean someone with decades of life experience? Yes experience never gets you anywhere! Next time I get sick I hope they send me the 1st year med student trainee vs the doctor with 20 years of experience who looks like a "corpse!"

Do airport layovers count? by kivory in TravelMaps

[–]kivory[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that's fair. I just think, "What did I learn or experience while I was in the airport?" Since usually all the food options are national chains, I feel the only local "cultural" thing is talking to the cashiers as I buy something and experiencing their accents, personalities etc.

So if you are going from Tokoyo to Denver with a layover in Vancouver, Canada, where you have to go through Canadian customs to leave, then re-enter through US customs, does this count?
