America 3x, couple of road trips and the usual Disney thing with the kids. Get away from the Disney thing and it's a whole new world.
Italy, drove across it, Marche, Tuscany, Umbria, clean and tidy
France, loads of times, full of French persons
The Philippines, Japan and Cambodia were the best. Mainly because of the people in all three places.
Thailand was the biggest disappointment after everyone raves about it. Constant scam attempts, rude locals and people who would only talk to you if there was something in it for them. We had people insulting us because we didn't fall for their scams. At one point we were sitting with some Thai girls in a bar, and we had the people working in the bar giving abuse to the girls for daring to socialise with foreigners. We had to sit on a bus with some guy who was hitting his girlfriend throughout. And just the constant lies and bullshit. Then I went to the Philippines, and it was everything that people claim Thailand is. Genuinely friendly locals, rather than friendly-because-they-want-to-sell-you-something locals. Just an all round more friendly and honest place in my limited experience.
Hong Kong was also disappointing because of the incredible air pollution levels there. Could barely see across the water. Although I'm lead to believe it's not always like that.
