We have been planning our summer vacation this year, it looks like it will be in Asia again. We made a list of places that we might want to visit: Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Bangkok, Seoul, Vietnam, Phillipines; but over the course of evaluating whether it would be fun to go to those places, I found that there weren’t many things in those places that appealed to me.

I think I’ve reached a point where seeing another museum, temple, castle, church, mountain or river is just that, a +1. At the same time, I’m not entirely interested in treks to cultural hot spots like Peru. So where does that leave me? I’m not fond of the superficial tourist highlights tour and not into fully understanding the culture of the destination. I don’t think the whole Introvertive Traveller thing is in play either.
