Best travel destinations for audiophiles

Hong Kong and Taipei.
1/ 2 consecutive weekends of Hi End shows, first in HK, then in Taipei the following weekend attracting the who's whos in Hi-End.
2/ Audiophile goodies galore. Hardware from all over the world. Many European products that we don't see here in the U.S. Software too! And deep discounts at Hi End shows.
3/ Dealers with amazing room set-up skills. Many of these dealers' show rooms are some of the most amazing rooms I've visited, sonically and aesthetically. No, I'm not talking about the front where they stack up every single piece of gear they sell. Each dealer usually has a listening room set up in the back.
4/ Food. More international than NYC or any South American cities. And usually available around the clock.

I told my wife that for my 40th birthday, I wanted to do the 2-week vacation in HK/Taiwan attending the Hi-End shows. But that didn't happen. I'll have to make up for it next year....

Taipei is an interesting idea. I heard stories about first rate bag ladies there but never about first rate dealers and audio shows. Well, apparently my information is a little outdated.

Parisians can be quite rude to English speakers; don't take it too hard. As they say - France is for French.

So I've heard. No big deal as we lived in Greece for a few years. The Greeks can seem offensively rude/brusk until you learn to accept it as part of their culture. The problem is it takes time to get used to it but as I expect it in Paris, I can handle it. I've visited quite a few European countries as well as Asia, but never made it to France, ooh la la.
BTW, I also lived in NH for a few years. Really enjoyed it there, beautiful state.

I would say Trebejo needs a guide to the culture that is uniquely American, or needs to pull his swollen head out of his proverbial arse. ;-) Perhaps start in New Orleans, then move up the Big Muddy to Memphis. From there the tour could go either on up to St. Louis and Kansas City, or turn east through Nashville and on to Atlanta. Some might want to venture north to Chicago, but my take is that those guys are all southern transplants anyway.

Nothing from America was ever regarded as culturally significant. Yeah, right.
