Oh, so you've visited HK and SG? And even lived in Tokyo?

For me, I've been to some Southern cities of China, HK, Macau, and most of Japan. I haven't been to any European or the more west side of the globe, but I have a relative who lives in Las Vegas - sometimes when I need clarification on how LV really looks like, I'll get her to send me pictures. :P

Personally I'm more familiar with eastern geography than the west, so most of my works tend to set in Asian countries rather than places in America or Europe. Occasionally I would use Australia or New Zealand (which are the top two countries I plan to travel to on my list).
