Conclusion about Japan, especially about Kyoto:
- Beautiful city
- Very clean
- Many temples
- Romantic festivals
- Everything very cute, sweet and much romance
- Many kimonos
- Extremely humid and hot
- Extremely friendly and open Japanese
- Always making presents
- Many selfie sticks, many cameras, many photos
- Very calm, small town feeling despite being a city of 1.5 million
- Majority of tourists speak French or Spanish
- The center of traditional Japanese culture, and still very Japanese today (e.g., food)

| Love that! Eating breakfast and watching planes in the Kansai Airport Lounge. |
 |
| Campari Soda and Singapore Sling (first serving) |
You certainly have to look up on Internet the Singapore Airline flight attendant
uniforms! They look so wonderful, and each color symbolizes a certain status. Very surprising was that you do even in regular economy class not only get a menu card that explains food choices, but that they have two servings of cocktails before food is served...
First impressions about Singapore:
- Many Chinese (70%), many Indians or Malaysians, dark-skinned
- Mainly English spoken in public
- Cheap public transport
- An island full of high-rise buildings
- Loud streets, much traffic
- Very clean (heavy on-the-spot fines for chewing gums, littering, spitting, eating or drinking in public transportation). An extra post in the subway (MRT) makes clear that eating durians is also illegal
- Anonymous feeling
- Majority of tourists speak German or English
- Escalators run really fast, the fastest I've ever seen
- At least two different cultures at a glance
- Culture mix and religion mix seem to work well!
- Very international - after six weeks in Japanese supermarkets where you nearly get no non-Japanese food items, here you can get everything from Korean Kimchi over Vegemite and Aperol to Swiss Rösti and Swiss bread
