We still haven’t decided where to go on our big trip. We really need to hurry up because time is running out. We have to find a hotel and book the flights. I don’t want to do everything at the last minute.
Right now the short list is:
Thailand – Bangkok and/or Phuket
Ryan wants to go to Phuket because he keeps mispronouncing it, even though people keep telling him it’s Poo Get, which is not really much better. I don’t know if I want to go to Bangkok, which sounds terrible no matter how you pronounce it. There are too many easy temptations for him.
Tokyo
We’ve never been to Japan, and Tokyo seems like a good place to start. We only have a week, so there is no way we’re going to see most of Japan anyway. I think we should go to Tokyo the first time and then some other part of the country the next time.
Bali
Neither of us thought about Bali until people started suggesting it. We assumed it would be too expensive, but it’s surprisingly cheap. Hotels are reasonable and plane tickets are next to nothing.
Seoul or Jeju
Seoul is like Tokyo. We’ve never been to Korea, so it seems like a good place to start. Jeju is supposed to be the Hawaii of Asia. I’m sure it’s not. Whenever Asians say something is the whatever of Asia, it’s nothing like what they’re comparing it to. Like Macau is the Las Vegas of Asia. Macau is nothing like Las Vegas.
There are direct flights to all of these places from Hong Kong. That’s one of the great things about living in Hong Kong. You can fly all over the world. We want a direct flight because we don’t have enough time to wait around at airports all day. One week is pretty short when you add in all the airport bullshit.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
