Expanding the number of Asian countries for the site.

[Robertt S]

As many of you are aware of the present circumstances concerning Mainland China and Hong Kong. I think it would be a good idea to start adding other Asian countries to our site. I do not predict a happy outcome for mainland China in the short term but hopefully it will improve later. That being said, I plan to start recruiting new members from OTHER Asian countries to join and breathe some life into this site.V/R ,Robertt S.

This is an interesting idea, as I am interested in travel, and in planning out trips to places such as China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam etc ...

Also, curious to know if anyone is learning Asian Language?

I spent a few years learning Mandarin and got involved in a Chinese church while living in Toronto, even hired a tutor for a while. I picked up a few things
Unfortunately, my wife is only interested in me teaching her English, and has no interest in teaching.

Lately, I am thinking of learning Japanese, before I plan out a trip to Japan potentially in 2026 - 2029

For what it is worth ...

I have a friend / connection who just returned from there ... here is what he said last month after his return to the US, he went to China for his (chinese) daughter's wedding as well as other family related events ...


Hello guys, I'm back from my 6 month trip to China.  I must tell you I was very reluctant and hesitant to go.  American media and state department listed China as a category 3 when I went.  "Level 3 - Reconsider Travel. Reconsider travel due to serious risks to safety and security. The Department of State provides additional advice for travelers in these areas in the Travel Advisory. Conditions in any country may change at any time."
It's currently Level 2, in my opinion you could give it  level 1.  China was absolutely amazing, I explored a huge portion of it.  If you have the opportunity to go I would highly recommend it

He also posted pictures from the wedding, which looked awesome, and I talked with him at length since his return, and he was very much in favor of people from the US going to China right now, despite the crap in the media about it.
