Decidering, Part 5

Lidija can't decide where to go on holiday. She has narrowed it down to three options: USA, Iceland, or Japan.

I decide: Japan! Sushi, Japanese gardens, traditional arts, temples and palaces, Japanese beer, Mt. Fuji, and hot springs.

Plus, this from Wikitravel:

Karaoke (カラオケ) can be found in virtually every Japanese city...Most karaoke places occupy several floors of a building. You and your friends have a room to yourself--no strangers involved--and the standard hourly rate often includes all-you-can-drink booze, with refills ordered through a phone on the wall or through the karaoke machine itself. The major chains all have good English-language song selections.

Japan, obviously.

Of course, if you come to Northern California, I'll take you out for a glass of wine. Not that a glass of wine beats private karaoke with pay-by-the-hour booze, but there you go.

More decisions to come soon! In the meantime, help Lidija decide: USA, Iceland, or Japan?

TOTALLY Japan. Those karaoke places are insane. Giant, multifloor (as you said) buildings the size of a small shopping mall -- all devoted to karaoke. And the food and the buildings and the bamboo and the removing of the shoes... ahhhh. It's the best.

But they might pronounce Lidija's name correctly in Iceland. Not so much in Japan, I'd bet.

I always go for the country with the best exchange rate and/or cheapest booze. But I am a cheap ass motherfucker. :p

A toughie! I've always wanted to visit both Japan and Iceland! I am leaning towards Iceland since recently watching the Sigur Ros documentary. It is an unbelievably beautiful country!

I would have picked Japan too! I would love to go there.
