I don't understand Europeans infatuation with Florida!

It is a paradise.. but it isn't interesting.. I would assume people would want a full on approach of American culture which can be seen in big cities like New York.

I would love to visit the Philippines... but there are too many other places at the top of my list, and not enough money!

In Asia, I would like to start with Japan, S. Korea, and maybe China. After that, I would like to visit Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, and then the Philippines)

I think the Philippines is a very underrated country. Thailand gets a lot of tourist exposure, but I think Philippines has the same potential with the beaches and interesting people.
