I lived for 4.5 years in Asia (Korea with frequent trips to other countries) and I'm now on my second trip to South America (first one was for 6 months, backpacking, 6 years ago, and now two months into a trip where I stay put in a few different cities for a bit longer).
Korea girls are absolutely beautiful. I don't know if there's a place in the word with a higher concentration of beauties than on the streets of Gangnam on a Friday or Saturday evening. It is just insane! Unfortunately, good Korean girls are also very difficult. If you're trying to game 7.5/8 and upwards girls there, you need superbly solid game, about 3 years solid study of Korean, a lifestyle/career that makes you seem like not-just-another-English-teacher. And then you still need to battle through deep-seated (though covert) recism, the whole confucian system and all the elements of it that don't help with what your trying to do, etc. And you have to have really good logistics (so that girls don't have to get in a taxi to bounce to your place). And you have to deal with tons of LMR. And flakeyness. Once you're in, you're golden, and a good Korean girl rates well up at the top of all the nationalities in my opinion. But unfortunately, the whole process of getting there is so arduous, and over time - painful, that in the end I resented it and had to leave. There is very little enjoyment in the process of gaming quality girls in Korea.
In the interest of completeness, I should add that if you are EXTREMELY good-looking, this can change everything. I know a handful of guys in Korea that bang top quality girls easily and regularly, but they are ALL very, very good looking (on the cover of a men's magazine types) AND all speak Korean very well.
I traveled Asia extensively, so I'll give a quick rundown on my opinion of other places:
Japan: super-fun with awesome girls. Like Korea (perhaps slightly less hot) but without any of the cultural baggage that prevents fun from happening. Japanese certainly helps, even a basic level (mine was pidgen - about 20 phrases, but still helped quite a bit). Tokyo is where you should go if you want to bang in a short period of time (my friends tell me ONS aren't so hard there. My only trip there was pre-game so I can't really comment). Everywhere else requires more investment in terms of time and Japanese.
Taiwan: Spent four days in Taipei on one trip. Absolutely awesome city. Fun girls that speak English well and have no negative opinion of foreigners. Probably some of the most fun I've had in Asia. Really want to return there!
Philipines: If you do it right, it can be an awesome trip. My friend gave me some invaluable travel tips and I had an absolute blast. Girls there are very attractive (if you know where to look) are really into foreigners, and have few hang ups about having sex. There are some elements of a developing world country that detract slightly from the experience, but still an amazing place! I can't wait to take a trip to Manila again.
Thailand: Once you get out of the tourist trap parts of the city (Koh San road, Soi Cowboy etc.) Bangkok can actually be a very pleasant city to spend some time in. Go to the right places and you can meet very normal (and very pretty) girls. The chaos of life there means that girls can be quite flakey however.
China: My visits were pre-game but friends that live there say it's pretty easy with the caveat that the girls can be pretty a little rough (lacking manners, etiquette etc.).
Cambodia/Laos: Awesome to visit, not sure how easy it is to mix with / pick up locals.
Vietnam: I only really went to places that backpackers hung out, so I can't really comment.
Singapore: Really fun (so long as you can spend a little money). Friends that live there tell me the locals are into foreigners and not too much work, though I didn't get any such opportunity myself.
Malaysia: Unless good food and nature are what you are after, I would probably skip it. Kuala Lumpur is a surprisingly dull city.
India: Amazing stuff to see...... but don't go for game or girl reasons!
That about covers where I've been. If I got an expenses paid trip back to anywhere, I would go to...... shit, if I was traveling that far again I would probably start with 10 days in Tokyo followed by 5 days in Taipei and a week in Manila.
My opinion hasn't fully formed on South America Part II yet, but for a quick comparison with Asia: girls are way more fun and less concerned about what their friends think. Girls in Brazil I feel are a little flakey, but maybe that's the time of the year here. I've been flaked on a few times by girls who had a big night out the night before and then didn't feel up to travelling the next day. But even with that, the flake rate is a tiny fraction of what I experienced in Korea. The biggest thing is that opening is FUN here. You don't get many negative reactions, people are happy to talk for the sake of talking, girls are very expressive and will laugh and flirt and have fun very easily. In a competition between Brazil and Korea, Brazil wins very, very easily.
In terms of how to run game here, there are some things that I learned in Asia that I've carried over to here that seem to help.
1. Girls want you to show that you care, and show it often: meaning regular text messages. I got scolded by one of my girls for not messaging her for one entire day. This is very similar to the expectation in Korea.
2. You have to be very gentle with negs / attraction material to not blow things up / come across as arrogant. Being too tough-edged here hurts your chances. One very gentle neg is enough in most sets and sometimes none are required.
And things that are different:
1. You can express / show affection much, much earlier here (and it seems to rarely be viewed sceptically). Latinas are very impulsive and you can be so too.
2. Girls don't have to check with their friends every step of the way. This has killed things for me in Korea more often than I have the heart to think about. Here, if a girl likes you, she likes you. And her friends are very unlikely to get in your way or make your life harder.
It was mentioned somewhere before that black guys might have an advantage in Asia due to their unique look. I think this is completely wrong. Certainly in Korea, being black makes your life WAAY more difficult. In Japan too, but slightly less so. And Thailand. In fact, every country I know in Asia, black guys have it way harder. I have a black friend with excellent, excellent game and he has to work so hard all over Asia. It can be done, but it's a lot of extra work!
