I’m all for freedom of speech on Alex in Wanderland, but I do think most comments — especially critical ones — are taken more seriously when they come from a name other than “anon” 🙂

Not to be blunt, but do you realize how ignorant you sound? Haha.

Your generalizations of Asia can be applied to any country, even those in Europe. There are many “civilized” countries outside of Europe, and many places in Europe and United States can be deemed as “uncivilized” and unpleasant.

Might as well just never leave your country to stay within your comfort zone 😛

I couldn’t agree with you more Alex, and disagree with Rob completely.

The appeal of Asia, Africa and Latin America is that it is so different to what we find at home.

Not that there isn’t beauty (people and places) in Europe, Australia or the northern Americas, but if I wanted comfort and things that were easy, there’d be no point in leaving home.

Seeing the life on the streets, the overcrowding, the squalor, but then to realise that these people remain happy, make all that material crap back home irrelevant.

Maybe there is a Part II in the works 🙂

I’m no sports lover, Paul, but I love a good themed trip! 🙂 And I’m an avid biker, so I’ll definitely take your suggestion when I finally get to these cities.

Great pics on both Berlin and Amsterdam by the way. I did a short tour of Western Europe in 2011, and those two were my favorite two cities. I definitely recommend renting a bike in Berlin, as well as Amsterdam, to see the entire city as you wish.

I can confirm Scandinavia is awesome. I lived in Sweden for 4 years and miss it a lot. I visit every 2-3 years to touch base with my friends. But only in the summer. It’s not a great place for people like me who like sunshine and warm weather when it’s winter!

After going to Iceland I would love to visit Norway, Finland and Sweden… it definitely gave me a taste for how much I would like Scandinavia!
