Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum lol. IMO Europe if time is a factor. The reason I say that is because Japan/Korea is so culturally different from the western world, that when I lived in Japan and went to Korea for the first time, it was hard to tell what I was looking at. Albeit it was when I was younger (Early 20’s), figuratively speaking, it seemed comparable to visiting two NE american cities. Yea they’re different locations, and subtle nuisances but they seemed to fall under the same umbrella. It wasn’t until I left and now that I am older I can appreciate each culture independently. If you’re from the US and head to Euro/Mediterranean area the fact a lot of people speak english will allow you to acclimate a lot easier. (I know this isn’t the objective of traveling just pointing out things I noticed). I would also point out that in contrast to Japan/Korea, when I lived in Greece and went to London for the first time there were glaring differences in the culture. If you’re on a time crunch and want the most bang for your buck in terms of likely perceivable diversity, do Europe. Ultimately it boils down to what you’re looking for as a traveler. I am unsure of what your cultural background is(my b if there was any unfounded assumptions made)and I know that was kinda all over the place but I hope it helps. If there’s something you want me to speak specifically to such as food, night life, history etc lmk.

dubai is cool and the variety of food you can find there is clutch. the only thing is the weather, being outdoors for extended periods of time can only be done in the cooler months. besides that, the beach spots are nice as well. the train makes it quite to get around the city. one downfall is how expensive the alcohol is and how it is only sold in certain places. overall, its a nice place to discover.Dubai has everything man its crazy nice here

Anything worth doing in Vegas when I'm here for a work trip? Not trying to get into anything wild but don't want to sit in my room.
Went to Gordon Ramsay's Burger place last night when I landed... Trash.
Was thinking of checking out Feature sneaker boutique
