How many of these Asia Pacific cities have you visited?

Well, this thread was inevitable, no?

For me on this list: Tokyo, Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe, Busan, Seoul, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, Macau, Manila, Singapore, KL, Bangkok and Phuket. It's looking likely that I'll get to work out of my company's Sydney office for all of June on an "exchange" program between regional offices, so hopefully I can add some Australian cities to my visited list as well.

But those were two expensive trips. Can't do that very often. Each awesome in its own way.

I've been to all Japanese and Australian east coast cities listed, plus Auckland and HK. We're going to Hanoi in September (2 weeks in northern Vietnam), and I have a feeling it's going to be awesome.

Just three, and only on business. But usually try to schedule things at the beginning or end of the week to tack on a weekend to myself.

I would like to go to Australia, but haven't had reason to for work, and I'm not at the point yet where I'll pay for business class airfare out of my own pocket. I don't think I could ever fly there in coach, it would be the most miserable 17 hours ever...

Tokyo
Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe
Seoul
Beijing
Shanghai
Hong Kong
Macau
Taipei
Manila
Bangkok
Singapore
Kuala Lumpur
Sydney
Melbourne
Brisbane-Gold Coast
Auckland

I'll be able to check off Jakarta in July.

Unfortunately, most of these were on two long business trips in 2006, where I just spent a few days in each and really didn't have that much time to explore. I've only spent significant time in the Japanese and Australian cities, along with Hong Kong, Singapore, and Auckland. I've also spent significant time in some more remote areas of Thailand and Malaysia.

Lived in Beijing, visited Shanghai and a bunch of smaller cities in China—nowhere else on the Pacific rim for me, though (so far).

I've only visited Tokyo and Manila.

I've also had layovers in Seoul and Agana, Guam, but those don't count as really visiting a city, now, do they. And Guam isn't part of this poll anyway, I guess for the same reason that Hawaii isn't.
