For every poster who praises a city, another will tell you they hated it. I'd google & use to help me choose.
As an alternative, if you can fly with Malaysian Airlines, you can have a stopover on the stunningly beautiful island of Langkawi. I think they have direct flights there from London & Manchester.
They used to have free stopovers as a special offer fairly frequently, worth having a good look through their website.

i stopped over in korea ...........wasnt gone on the place at all, felt intimidated ......wouldnt recommend it!!!
Why do travel agents always attempt to talk you out of stopovers in the USA eg LAX and travelling via the pacific?
I don't see this as a problem at all. You would be mad to do a straight through transit. I would spend a few days in the USA before continuing onwards. Anywhoo you clear US immigration in Dublin.Because you will have all the hassle of US immigration to deal with even if you are only transiting at the airport. This can be quite stressful especially for infrequent travellers.
The likes of Qantas and Air NZ serve the US west coast direct.Also on-board experience on most of the Eastern bound airlines is much higher standard than the US airlines
I will be going to Australia in Feb/March 2009 and will be taking in Brisbane and Sydney. I am going to attend an event and will be travelling alone (middle aged, female).
I would like to take in a stopover either on the way there or back as I've never been in this part of the world and am unlikely to get the chance again. As I'm travelling alone does anyone have any advice re visiting Singapore; or Hong Kong; or other stop over options.
Thanks so much
