If you’re in need of a long vacation by the beach, the Philippines has got you covered. With over 7,000 islands, it’s one of the largest archipelagos in the world, with over 5,000 islands still remaining unnamed. Nonetheless, beaches should be common, and do consider this country as your next holiday destination.

There’s nothing quite like being in France. The Côte d’Azur is an absolute standout, and the scenery of the countryside is incredible to say the least. Top it off with a rich culinary scene, France is the perfect place to be.

Two-thirds of Bangladesh remains under five meters above sea level, and as such, is at high risk of changing sea levels. With the longest uninterrupted sea beach in the world, environmental conservation means everything if we want to keep this place above water.

Good luck for this challenge mate!

Ticked off the list now, is the world’s most populated country! Having lived in China, and in Shanghai specifically, for a few years, I personally want to say that it’s a fantastic place with great people and culture. I’m looking forward to seeing restrictions loosen a little more so that I could return and visit friends and family there!

Friday Night Flight takes us to the Southern Hemisphere, with Oceania and Africa featured. What’s not to like with a country with a history as rich as the diamonds its famous for?

Awesome!! You got this!

Being based in the Asian region, skipping the world’s best airport could well be considered a crime. At least, until today, when I controlled Singapore with some moderate traffic. Nothing hat I couldn’t handle, but certainly more than what I expected given the region has been somewhat inactive in recent days.

Great night markets, street food, routes, destinations and computers, Taiwan has it all. Strategically places close to the Pacific Ocean, linking them well to North America, as well as being places right in between East Asia and South East Asia, Taiwan as a trading country is doing better than ever!

Not much is known about this secretive state, and even if there’s anything known, it’s always shrouded in a fog of mystery. Today, I took a dive into Pyongyang, and controlled in the second of two Koreas.

As always, a certain Tuesday rolls around, and with it, an opportunity to control out of my assigned region, Asia. This time, I’ve went over the island of Bermuda in an effort to try and strategically control as many countries out of my assigned region on Tuesdays and Fridays, in an effort to change regions as little times as possible.

Back to Asia, and I’ve opted to control in the gambling capital of the world. With casinos generating so much tax revenue, the government pays all residents, permanent or not, a set amount of money every year due to the absolutely large amounts of taxes they collect.

On the subject of wealthy countries, Brunei was visited with a couple of special IFATC guests. I’m glad to have caught the Tyler on his flight to Singapore before closing out. Not to mention plenty of other IFATC members who flew together with Tyler.

To a great and well known holiday destination, Cancún! It’s a great place to relax and definitely one of the best places to control. Steady flows of traffic were seen for the hour and a bit I controlled there, and to say that it was calming is quite the understatement.

Another popular holiday destination in the Asian region, Thailand is famous for it’s culture, food, nightlife, beaches, fresh produce and more. It’s no wonder that Thailand is frequented by people from all over the world wanting a taste of Southeast Asia. Not to mention, its rich flora and fauna in its lush jungles all around the country.

A country that is relatively unknown in the Southeast Asian region. With it’s independence only restored under 20 years ago, it’s the youngest country in the Southeast Asian region, and one of the youngest in the world after Indonesia invaded it and annexed it in the 1970s.

A country as famous as Japan, you just can’t talk about Japan without talking about everything. However, its location around the ring of fire makes way for extremely active geographical features in Japan. With over 100 active volcanoes and hundreds if not thousands of minor earthquakes hitting them every year, you really just need to be there to see how beautiful Japan is.

Tuesday is back, and I’ve returned to the US East region. The Bahamas has over 700 islands, but oddly enough, only 30 of them are inhabited by humans. However, the number of islands does mean that they’re definitely not short on beaches. Tourism is definitely the biggest industries there.

To the South Asian subcontinent, and to a small country of Bhutan. Known well around the world for having one of, if not the hardest approach in the world, you’d be hard pressed to find good landings when controlling in Infinite Flight. Fortunately, no planes had any issues when I was controlling, and I hope it stays that way.
