Best Spiritual Landmark
"The Golden Temple in Amritsar is the most beautiful place in India for me. You can go any time, day or night, and feel a deep spiritual sense of peace and humanity, regardless of your cultural background."

Best Stress Reliever
"I get in my Benz 350 SLK convertible, pop in a '70s-disco CD and drive two hours to the [resort town] of Karuizawa. I go with a couple of friends. We drink beer, eat curry with rice, drive through the forest, go fishing, and fight. Stress builds up; it's healthy to fight sometimes."

Best Monument
"I would recommend the Great Wall for its architectural and historical significance. To me, it stands as a witness to China's history and to the amazing and arduous labor behind its grand construction."

Best Building in Tokyo
"The Gallery of Horyuji Treasures [in the Tokyo National Museum] skillfully implements steel, concrete, glass and other materials, expressing traditional wa, or harmony."
