Japan is nice place tourist but you may not be allow in some places, I am Chinese but they refused me in some bars once they found out I spoke mainly english. Thailand is good but find in places like phuket is a big tourist trap, prefer Bangkok more. Not to mention most south Asia places will have people scam you more. Rental and taxis who take longer route or road tolls.
I would like to visit Europe, traveling to Asia is very pain since it takes like 23 of flying
