nice to be sharing these:-
Brunei -"the abode of peace", its just like its name.If you want to raise families, this is one of the safes place. Clean place, they hardly see black people here except in the oil town of Seria. Clubbing and drinking alcohol is done in the neighboring cities. They speak and understand English, many are British educated. Speaks better English than its neighbouring states. Hotels have good standard culinary offers. This is a law abiding country. Drugs, corruptions are not tolerated here apart from alcohols for Muslims. During Ramadan no drinking and eating in public places. The currency was pegged with the Singapore dollar, 1 dollar to one dollar. Oil producing country with expats working mostly in the oil & gas and, education industries.
China, Beijing & Shanghai- great and big, nice shopping
India- beautiful textiles and culture- many places dirty and smelly though including the souvenirs bought, unfortunately. The men stare, its discomforting. Its not polite to stare, let alone very long emotionless stares. Excuisite food! Totally love the restaurants' food. But, prepare some medicine for irritable bowel. Aggra-where the Taj Mahal is located, is beautiful. Went to Mysore, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Calcutta, and a place in Tamil Nadu. Sometimes felt like in the story of "One Thousand and One Night".
Malaysia- KL, Melaka, Johor, Selangor, Langkawi, Pulau Pinang, nice multiethnic societies.The government tries hard to make the 3 major races live harmoniously (Malay, Chinese and Indians). Its such a great place to be, big and well maintained civil structures-the roads are good. Can eat well and cheap here. But, some sick people who murders ppl senselessly are beginning to take on the headlines here.
Singapore -Clean nice place-the building have very good housekeeping, people thee are ok but no respect for accurate menu scripting, small place too. Sometimes it appears their civic mindedness are shortlived and frustrations easily looms on those not sincere with customer friendliness. I ever heard one electronic goods shopkeeper shouted to an old european couple "f*^k off" and get out of my shop (something along that line) way back in the early 90s. Surprisingly.
UK- nice but sometimes can find dirty places too. The locals don't like any foreigners actually but they keep it civil. In Ireland, hundreds of polish immigrants had to find refuge in a church to escape from racial attack. York doesn't want any non-locals to own property / land there. But UK generally has good people and they will respect you if you are civil and contribute well to society. Love to holiday and send children to school there. Kids love schooling there because of good teachers who respect students. Would love to spend one spring time in a cottage there with family and make new English friends though.They love antiques stuff too and its fun watching their local tv programs minus those reality talk shows. The last neighbors I had were very very sweet and nice. They are splendid in garbage management! Many nice feelings for England, but its still sweeter to be home where you actually belong. But they should accept, many people from their colonies 'need' to take their riches back. The legacy they left behind where they've touched shores and managed, they should have been ashamed with themselves because they did not leave much harmony behind for the many different tribes of people they have made to mix and made to go against each other. Enjoyed daily clubbing here during the student days in London. New, Fancy clubs are better. Used to love people watching in Camden Town (London)-mixed blacks/ Carribeans/ Creoles, dreadlocks were plenty in this area-and they 'all' look gorgeous / hip / stylish! Shopped for nice 'Queen Anne' cutleries and nice scarves at Shepherds Bush. The cheapest chainstore still sells very good quality clothes- ASDA, Primark. But Tesco is getting fun to shop in. The people there always call you "love" when you talk with them especially the old folks, just realised maybe they're trying to be sweet and nice. But some senior citizens always like to also ask, "are you going to stay here after you finish school?" Lol...they prefer you to go home.
Been to beautiful Scotland, nice people there.
.. Its still a lovely bitter sweet place to be, that's England. I have wondered though, while in that country, as if, they were stuck in their own world, no understanding and much appreciation of other cultures and people. Some theories suggest, that's typical mentality of any "island countries"...
France- its ok, love the crepes-spent only 100 British pounds worth of money on a 3 day trip there. Went to Moulin Rouge, but was broke. Shopped at Gallerie Lafayette, just bought two T-shirts ...lol, brown and yellow. They won't speak English with you, they answer to French.. 2nd trip, brought more money, so more visits, nice place.
Italy-gosh, beautiful people here, love the sphagetti and Venice city. Old buildings.
Greece - another place with beautiful men here. Many scooters with lady riders. Old buildings.
Switzerland, just passing through Laguna Lake, and one city in the southern part. Clean place, but was very sleepy after a coach ride.
The Philippines-went there as a child during the hey day of Pesident Marcos. Enjoyed the trip generally. Manila was a good city but not so nice housekeeping then with regards to the way they displayed their food.Hanging roasted ducks, chickens, porks infront of their foodshops. Not pretty sights. But its hotels were generally good then. The culture was beautiful, they have beautiful dresses on.But I heard they hv good shopping places too nowadays.I don't really fancy going there yet again until they hv settled down with the troubles there.
Indonesia-Jakarta, Bali, Sumatera. Nice place. Good people. Tanah Abang in Jakarta is where the wholesale is going on. Bought nice clutch bags for special occassions. Compared to those sold in high end shops, its still cheaper with the same quality-ofcourse, its a bulk buy, but, I am saying its reliably good buy there. They are proud of their "batik" there. The Indonesians speak like they are in theatre or using poetry, they just speak beautifully. I like Indonesia, and its Jakarta is very fast growing. I don't know how it is now though with the new changes in politics. I am just sorry to read many negative news about how blacks and Nigerians are treated there currently. Just be careful, its not a secret they have been one of the most corrupt countries. Though the government are doing a lot about stamping that down.
Saudi Arabia- Mekah & Medina-holy cities. Respect the rules there. Nice dresses. Women had to watch out, warned of some instances of women snatching by Taxi drivers. And groping by male shopkeepers. But not all are perverts ofcourse.The people who work here comes from many places like Indonesia, Afghanistan and the nearby regions.
Thailand-Bangkok and Chiang Mai. The people are nice and many can be beautiful. Metropolitan city, just like KL and Jakarta. Would love to go there again. The hotels' hospitality are at its best here. Better than KL's, maybe same as in Jakarta.
Nigeria-Lagos & Victoria Island. I want to come back again. The people are nice here, very polite. They say "sorry" when you coughed! I have never felt so looked after. I want to visit other places and meet more people here.
Would love to try go to Australia, Canada, New York, the USA, Hawaii, Fiji Island (when its peaceful), New Zealand, Switzerland again, next. And Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Germany, Brussels (I'll think about it again), Egypt, Mekah, Madinah, Dubai, Jordan, UAE, Morocco, Spain, the Mediterranean countries.
Hongkong -hard to find halal food
