Hmm.. am I the only one who has the impression that this thread seems to be more of bragging?

Perhaps, but most of the people aren't doing that, and phrases like 'nice place', 'good food' 'slow life' are too generic a term.

It doesn't need to be bombastic or flowery or what not. One or two lines would be great; I (and many others, I am sure) don't have time to read essays. It makes it more personal (and helps remove any bragging) and it makes you really think about your trip. northasian and goliath (and a couple of others as well) made some reasonable attempts!

Perhaps, but yes like you said its all subjective. Person A might find place 1 exciting but another person would find place 1 boring because its not their thing or they have been to place 2 which is even more exciting.

Just one request, actually. Could everyone put in the year of visit? Because a place (especially in places like China) would have changed drastically over the years.

In fact, I could be more fussy and even ask how old you were when you visit (the perspective of a 15 year old differs from a 20 year old and a 40 year old), but that's pushing it a bit too far.
