Way better place to party than Itaewon!! Great place to meet Korean locals. Bars are open until 6 in the morning, and while you unforunately have to pay to get into any of the clubs, it's a lot of fun. Clubs don't limit the people they let in, so fair warning, they can get pretty crowded on Sat.

I love how they have created so many beautiful shows with variations on the lights and music. Really nice treat if you're passing by as it begins.

The hotel is very well-decorated. And it's located right next to Diablo's which has good happy hour deals.

Universal City Walk is a cool hang-out spot with lots of restaurants, some shops, and a nice theatre. Other than that though there's not too terribly much to see. One tip though: parking at the complex is really expensive. What you should do is park at the Metro station at the bottom of the hill (which is free) and then take the courtesy shuttle up the hill. That way, you can save enough for a movie ticket.

It's a cute, quaint city. The view isn't bad, but there's not too much to do around the lake. The cabins in the area are really nice, so it's a great place for a group cabin trip.

It's a great ski spot for beginners, but if you have time, go a bit farther for better slopes.

I food here is great! Every much like a slice of Hong Kong.

It's kinda like traveling back in time to Ming China. I really like the atmosphere and feel of the place. Oh, and you can find some really yummy XiaoLongBao there. You have to try them; they're super yummy!!

Just like the name says, this beach is truly beautiful. It's a great place for snorkeling too!

The shopping here is absolutely amazing. There's every type of store you could imagine on top of street vendors selling cute little toys, socks, jewelry, etc. Plus with all the food vendors on the side of the street, what more could you ask for?

By far the best shopping in the Vegas area. The deals are not as good as they used to be, but it's still a great shopping area. I was entertained for a few hours last time.

Obviously not like the real deal, but it is a very good replica. It's nice to take a gondola ride, and imagine you're actually in Italy. :D

I really like the arcade they have over at New York, and their roller coaster is entertaining even if it is a little on the mild side.

There are a lot of shops, but almost all of the shops are way too expensive. I guess that is to be expected of Vegas boutiques.

It's a great free show that happens every 15 minutes or so. The fountains are coordinated to music and lights, so it's really nice. Also a pleasant surprise for passers-by.

It's a small and unremarkable remake of the Eiffel Tower. I found it odd and a bit out of place, but it's redeeming feature is that it gives a good view of the city.

There's a lot of restaurants right on the pier, but of course, they are a bit pricer. I enjoy just walking along the pier and then heading over to Colorado to grab something to eat.

The place is absolutely charming. You can rent your own bungalow for a great price, and the owner is this absolutely cute French lady. They also have their own mini bar, so you can hang out with the owner and her other friends at night if you don't feel like making it out. My friends and I had a wonderful time.

This is a great restaurant/bar area surrounding a lake, so the ambiance is absolutely great. If you want, you can also rent a paddleboat or canoe on the lake. The lights make it a really pretty scene at night.

This airport is absolutely enormous! And they're very efficient with lines, baggage, and everything so you don't really have to wait in line long. It makes for a much better airport experience. Don't forget that this airport is designed to resemble a dragon, so look for that when you're flying in!

The bars and clubs around this area are more for foreigners. It's good if you feel you need to get away from China for a night and want to interact in English, but for a more local scene, definitely go to San Li Tun.

It's a bit creepy visiting Mao's corpse, but it's a big part of recent Chinese history, so I guess you can't miss it.

Omg, I tried deep friend scorpions and starfish here with my buddies, and although it was really bland and tasteless, it was a pretty fun dare. I do, however, highly recommend the candied plums on a stick.

San Li Tun is a the infamous bar district of Beijing. There's lots of great bars, and if you walk a little further down the street, you'll find some good clubs there as well. My favorite clubs were Vics and China Doll. And like the rest of Beijing, don't forget to bargain for the price of beers before you go in.

The food court downstairs has a large variety of great food. And don't forget to look for the one uncleaned ceiling tile in the main hall!

The largest Macys ever! With 9 stories, get ready for some serious shopping! I love shopping there.

Seeing the huge tree so ornately decorated just puts a smile on my face. And you can't beat the feeling of being able to go ice-skating right there in front of the Rockefeller.

I can't believe they made a store just to sell M&Ms. Completely unnecessary and over the top.

One of the richest strips of shops in the city. From all the big high price tag names to more moderate shops, it's great for window shopping even if you don't want to buy anything.

Every single part of this building is spectacularly beautiful from Michaelangelo's Pieta to the altar. Nothing I can say can do justice to how beautiful it is.

It's a good view of the capitol and Washington Monument, but the memorial itself is not all that impressive.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! Make sure you train beforehand so you can hike up to the Half-Dome. It's quite a hike, but it's definitely worth it. It has a gorgeous view!

This cathedral is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite part by far though was the stained glass.

Grand Central is one of the cheapest places to get groceries that I know, and I love going for lunch too.

I don't think I've ever been to another beach where they set up a gym right next to it. But sure enough, you can find one of those in LA. Located seriously just across the sidewalk from the beach, there's various rings and pull-up bars. Even if you don't want to go for a work-out, it's always interesting watching the people who do there.

I absolutely love bringing a book and just hang out in the gardens. It's always very well-kept with beautiful flowers, and because there's a sort of a river/fountain path through the garden leading to the main circular outdoor area, it's so soothing just reading to the sound of flowing water.

Everything's ridiculously expensive, but even though I can't afford any of it, it's still nice to go window shopping every now and then.

It's a great place to chill during the afternoon. You'll always see a bunch of NYU kids walking around. Be careful at night though.

Absolutely one of the best pizza places in New York. There's always a line though, so go prepared to wait. But it's well worth it.

I loved walking across the bridge, and if you're heading towards Brooklyn, you'll end up at the lighthouse were you can reward yourself with good ice cream. And it's also close to an amazing pizza place: Grimaldi's.

It's always crowded, so you might as well go in the evening when it's lighted. That's when you get the best view.

I absolutely love New York's Chinatown. I went every weekend when I was there two summers ago. It's one of the few places in the city where you don't have to spend a lot for food. They have amazing dimsum and other Chinese food. You can also buy fresh groceries for cheap.

It's a good museum to visit if you have some free time. And to make it better, it's free general admission on the second Tuesday of each month, and after 5 pm daily, you can pay what you want.

It's really a bit of a disappointment. Everywhere is super crowded, so you really can't spend a lot of time to find your favorite star. Also, there's a lot of people in costumes wanting to take a picture with you for a tip. Hollywood commercialism to the max. If you go though, you need to stop by Beard Papa's for cream puffs at Hollywood and Highland. I first had it in New York and was so excited with it came to LA. It's a really great cream puff.

Don't forget to look at the columns that list all the Oscar Best Picture winners right outside the Kodak theatre.

It's a really large venue with 3 dance floors, but they're more geared toward techno and house. If you're a hip hop fan, it's not the best place to go. They do, however, have a Mexican food area right outside within the same complex, and they serve the best quesadillas.

Although it's cool to visit the birthplace of Confucius, it's really not as magnificent or scenic as other temples around China. I would recommend it only if you're a big fan of Confucius.

Who'd ever think that a building that leans would become such an attraction? But it's a lot of fun to think of funny poses to take.

It's really cool to visit because it feels as though you've walked back in time (I guess that's the point). Even though it's now very old, it's a lot of fun and you can get great souvenirs there.

It's pretty crowded, but it's a great place for tourist walking.

Great cupcakes! I especially love their icing.

The Pantages always has a great selection of shows, and the theatre's not too large so you can get a pretty good view on most seats. I absolutely love going. And it's centrally located in Hollywood right in front of a subway station, so it's easy to get to if you're visiting. You can also get cheap rush tickets for $20 to pretty much any show. Just show up 2 hours before the show starts and enter your name in the lottery. You have a pretty good chance on weekdays and Sunday matinee.

It's not as good a roller coaster park as Six Flags elsewhere, but the new Goliath (well, relatively new) makes it a bit better.

I love going to the pier. Although the beach is kinda small and usually pretty crowded, it's right next to 3rd St. Promenade so it's the perfect combination of beach, food, and shops. Oh, and there's also a small amusement park right on the pier. If you go up on the ferris wheel, you can get a pretty good view of Santa Monica. On a clear day, you can even see Malibu and Venice.

The stuff there really isn't that much cheaper than sales at normal malls, but it is a great place to get stuff embroidered.

I love this beach. It's much more relaxing than Santa Monica because there's more sand space to lie out on. Also, it has a great skate/bike path. There's bike rentals right along the beach, so don't worry about bringing your own unless you want to bike there. But then again, Venice beach is really easy to bike to because it's bike lane leads right to the beach and you don't have to pay for expensive parking.

I love the seafood there, and the environment is just so fun. I always stop by everytime I'm in NorCal. Oh, and Pier 39 has the best seafood and clam chowder! Don't miss it if you go.

Even if it only housed Michelangel's David, it'd be worth the trip, not to mention the countless other amazing works of art kept there. 

This place is the biggest tourist trap. It's crowded, and the vendors rip you off (well they pay enough for a spot along this road that they kinda have a right to). For a much better place to shop, head over to XiDan or to the warehouse/bus station across the street from the zoo. There, you'll actually find some good deals.

The zoo itself is not that large compared to others, but it's one of the few places where you can see pandas. Also, there's a river/canal inside the zoo, and for 10 RMB, you can by a speedboat ticket along the river. It's a lot more fun than you would imagine because the operators purposely make waves and try to make it a bumpy and fun ride.

It's architecture is so unique compared to other stadiums of the world. So much thought was put into designing this building to showcase at the Olympics that you have to stop and see it for yourself.

It's a really unique experience. Even if you don't understand opera, it's worth going to for the cultural experience. Also, the costumes and venue are very ornate and magnificent.

With all the recent construction, it's good to see the traditional Beijing houses before they disappear. Take a nice walk through the hutongs instead of renting a bike taxi so you can really experience it. Also, there's this great Muslim restaurant hidden somewhere around the area. Sorry don't remember exactly where it is, but it'd be a scavenger hunt, lol.

The Hope Diamond is so beautiful; just seeing that alone is worth the trip, not to mention the other cool stuff there.

Beautiful hotel. The rooms are more expensive than other hotels on the Strip, but it's worth it because they are absolutely gorgeous with great furnishings. Even if you don't stay, its' worth checking out because the canals inside are pretty cool.

It's probably the cheapest hotel you'll find near the Strip in Vegas, but the rooms are terrible. When we stayed, the sheets were dirty and the room smelled. Do yourself a favor, spend a couple extra bucks and book a better hotel. You'll thank yourself in the end. Also, if you bid through priceline, it really doesn't come out to that much more.

It's a bit far from the Strip, but it undoubtedly has the best view of Vegas at night!

I love going to their happy hour. Two bucks for a great cheeseburger, hot wings, and other stuff? There's no better deal at a good restaurant in LA, and they also have a good variety of draft beers.

It's a great chill place to hang out with lots of bars and restaurants. Definitely a better, more chill alternative to Vegas.

They have a fun tour available if you're interested in journalism and want to see some of how they produce the news. The fun part, however, is you can pay to be the anchor of your own CNN news clip at the end of the tour if you want. Don't wear glasses though because it glares like crazy (pretty much ruined my video. so much for my two minutes of fame, lol)

They have pretty good seafood, but it's considered an upscale restaurant in Atlanta, so it's way overpriced. Not that worth it if you ask me.

Mongkok is a great shopping area where you can find basically anything that you need. There's so many clothes stores that you'll definitely need to set aside a few hours to go. Don't forget that you can bargain at some of the stores.

Also, Mongkok is great to go because it's one of the few remaining places in Hong Kong that still has street food. It's not on a stand like it used to be, but there still are corner shops that sell the fishballs, chicken wings, dumplings, and random other great goodstuffs. You have to try it. Oh, and the mango shaved ice drinks were my personal favorite.

Definitely a fun place to go to if you're in LA. It's close to the beach, and they have a large variety of restaurants and shops there. If you go on a weekend, there's also a lot of street performers. Finding street parking on a weekend is almost impossible though, so just prepare to pay a couple bucks to park at a garage and save yourself the time.

It's pretty much just a whole-in-the-wall in Inglewood, but it's the BEST cheesecake place in LA. It's pretty much all they sell. They have a variety of 20 or so different kinds, but they only make 4 or 5 a day. Call a day in advance if you want a specific type.

It's a nice place to see the old architecture. Go on the hour to see a remake of the changing of the guard ceremony.

The beach is nice, but it's a bit crowded and more touristy. For a better seafood and less crowds, try Gwangali beach instead.

I love the architecture there. It's definitely the most unique cathedral I've ever been to.

I loved going there with a good book and finding a nice spot in the shade next to the lake. Also, during the summer I love watching Shakespeare in the park.

Definitely a tourist must-see spot. And the boat ride over is very enjoyable.

There was a lot of hype when it opened because it's the world's largest aquarium, but I thought it was okay. It's not that much better than other good aquariums elsewhere. And the "petting zoo" is kinda silly. Why would anyone want to pet shrimp? Most people touch shrimp a lot in their life anyways.

It's a long wait to go on a clear and sunny day, but you definitely need to pick a nice day to get a good view. Don't waste your money for the audio tour though. Better to just spend it at the pizza place around the corner.

It's a great place for cupcakes.

Definitely my favorite brat place in LA.

The fountain is absolutely beautiful at night although I was a bit disappointed because the huge crowds there. It's hard to really appreciate the romantic feel when you're constantly bumping into people. Oh, and the gelato places around the area are amazing.

I love this place because of all the history behind it, but if you're really not that into history, you might not like it as much but you definitely still need to visit.

It's one of the most opulent places I've ever been to.

I love this bookstore. They have such a large selection and there's also a special room for rare books.

It's the best fries in the city.

No better way to see a Shakespeare play than in the Globe. I recommend buying a standing ticket. It's the cheapest way to go (10-15 pounds), not to mention a great experience because that's the way non-nobles did it way back when. Plus, how comfortable is it to sit on a hard bench for a couple hours?

Seeing shows on Broadway was one of my favorite things to do in New York. And the great thing about it is it doesn't have to cost a lot of money. If you're a theater enthusiast on a budget like me, there are many affordable ways to get seats to some of the best shows on Broadway.

TKTS is a discount booth for tickets on Times Square, and it seems to be the most well-known and popular choice, but there are even more ways to get good tickets. Some theaters have a student rush tickets where you line up for a chance to get discount tickets that the theater either sets aside specifically for rush or are available because they don't get sold.

If you aren't a student anymore but are feeling lucky, other theaters have lottery tickets. Basically, you show up a couple of hours before the show (different theaters have rules), enter your name, and hope to get called. This is a great way to see shows because not only are they super cheap (usually $20-$25) but most theaters offer orchestra level seats for that price. So pick a weekday and test your luck!

And if all else fails, some theaters also offer standing room tickets for cheap. It's tiring, but more often than not, it's worth it.

For some reason, this is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Atlanta, but unless you're feeling really thirsty and can drink $15's worth of Coke, I would not pay to have Coke advertise to me.

It's a nice walk, but there's nothing exceptional about it.

It's almost like a walk back in time. The night scene is much prettier.

It's so great camping between the canyons. Pack light unless you want to rent horses to carry your gear.

The volcano is absolutely gorgeous, and you can hike right to the base of it. If you go to Costa Rica, you have to visit Arenal. It is also one of the best places to go zip-lining in because the view is spectacular. If you're lucky to pick a good tour, you can zip-line above a river ravine.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. It's so picturesque and bring shoes because it's also right next to the national park with lots of great hiking.

The most beautiful pavilions and scenery in Beijing. Plan at least a couple of hours so you can have time to sit in the shade with a cup of tea.

Go early at 6:00 in the morning to see the guards begin the day with the national anthem. A lot of locals go to see it regularly.

It's a beautiful park with great views. Don't forget to rent a paddle boat or canoe for a ride around the lake.

Hiking along the Great Wall is a must-do, but Badaling is extremely crowded and full of tourists. To get a better, less crowded trip to the Great Wall, try the Mutianyu section. It's more beautiful and has far fewer tourists.

Definitely a must see. It's amazing, but save the biggest pit for last. Otherwise, the rest of your tour will not seem as amazing.

It is a great shopping district. You can either choose between a nice shopping center with more expensive high quality clothes or try your hand at bargaining at a wholesale warehouse. It's a lot of fun that's much better than the more touristy areas and even if you don't find anything you want, it's a great experience.

My favorite part was just sitting on the lawn watching the lights as night on the hour.

It is the perfect place for window-shopping in Paris, but the keyword is window-shopping. You better save up a bit if expect to do anything more than that.

It is as magnificent as everyone says it is. Make sure your mark an entire day to see everything in the gallery.

Busan Bridge looks much better at night when it is lit, but during the day, one fun thing to do is jetski around the bridge's supports. A jetski can easily be rented at the beach.

Although the beach itself is not near as pretty as the better known Haeundae beach, this is the place to go if you want good seafood Korea-style. It's much for authentic and affordable than the touristy Haeundae restaurants. For the really adventurous people, try the live octopus at the fish market.

This beach is one of the most well-known of Pusan because it is the nicer of the beaches, but if you want good seafood, this is not the place. It's overly touristy. For good seafood Korea-style, check out Gwangalli beach. For the really adventurous people, try the live octopus at the fish market.
