Of course that was a relative classification. When selecting my destinations for travel I do not start at the end of the list. And traditionally the US has been on a top rank.

My daughter had a phase where she was excited about China. She was not happy with my clear refusal to travel there. I was in Russia once for 12 hours, because there was the possibility to go there without a visa. These decisions don't follow scientific criteria.

Just to poke your brain, or anyone's, suppose we shared concerns and views on all topics. Now let's consider a spectrum of "how well are are individual rights upheld in practice?", with all the nuances.

What's your short list of particularly good/best places in SE Asia/Oceania (that you'd be comfortable travelling to, but even work with, invest in? (Coming from the north Atlantic)

I'm down to:

- Australia + NZ

- Taiwan (sadly HK seems 'compromised')

- Singapore

Pretty much in that order. That's the shortest this list has even been in my lifetime. What am I not seeing?
