Popeye August 2025 Issue "My Solo Trip to Asia 2025"

I want to travel again this year.
We inevitably want to spend time somewhere other than here,
experiencing a time completely different from everyday life.
So where to go? Right now, it’s Asia.
I want to dig through just the right vintage clothes hidden in the markets.
I want to jump into the world of my favorite movies.
Relax on a paradise-like beach,
witness an unfamiliar passionate youth culture,
and lazily spend time in a primitive ancient city deep in the mountains.
There is so much to do in Asia.
And the food is generally delicious wherever you go.
Money and schedule will somehow work out,
so once a small fire lights in your heart, just go out.
If you move in any way, surely everything will follow later.
That’s what travel is, right?

■Bangkok, THAILAND
Not the usual Europe, but first time in Southeast Asia.
Buy small brands and vintage clothes with single-minded focus!

■Hong Kong
To the settings of those movies I dreamed of.
Fully enjoy both classic and modern Hong Kong.

■Bali, INDONESIA
Guided by Potato Head, first to a paradise-like beach.
Then to Ubud seeking island gods, art, and traditional music.

■Ho Chi Minh City, VIETNAM
Discover a bubbling unique youth culture.
Fully enjoy the newly opened metro, gourmet food, and the city.

■Luang Prabang, LAOS
Buddhism and French culture coexist, the whole city is a World Heritage site.
That’s all the travel knowledge you need. Overlooking the Mekong River, a trip of pure laziness.

■MY JOURNEY NEVER ENDS
The journey continues, forever!
