I hope that Travel Channel and Sam would consider developing a Passport to Asia series in the near future.

I think there are so many wonderful countries/cultures that can be covered over a 12-13 episode series.

Sam could visit:
Taiwan
Thailand
Japan
Malaysia
Singapore
Indonesia
Vietman
Hong Kong
Or you can even re-run some of the China episodes as part of this series as well.
The list can go on and one...

I realize it takes time and money, but if Sam and her crew spends 2-3 months in Asia (maybe next summer), I'm sure you can come back with some great television.

I think this would be much more compelling than the Weekend series, which is only okay in my opinion.

With the exception of Japan, the weak American dollar still gets more for your money in Asia.

You can make alot of great and inexpensive episodes in Asia.

I agree. Although I am really enjoying the more domestic location in the new series I would love to see Samantha explore Asia. I loved the China episodes.

hi samantha,
greetings from the philippines
ive been watching ur shows for about 2years now but i just found this discussion/forum recently.. my fave: Passport to Europe and Latin America.
i hope Passport to Asia will be on its way soon? Please include Philippines, especially Boracay Island which is the best tourist island in the country. I am based here in Boracay working as a travel consultant...but i always wanted to get a job like yours, which is always on a paid vacation right? above all youve got to learn a lot of things on different aspects with fun..
Anyway...it would be a dream come true to meet you someday somewhere........ Looking forward for your Asian trip.. more Power to you and to your shows.. Hello to the staff and crews..bravo! always a job well done! God bless

its me,
janice
