It’s super safe and clean with fabulous people, hikes, history, festivals, cuteness everywhere, K-pop, street performances and yes, a lot of amazing food. There’s another destination I can highly recommend and that is Seoul, Korea. It felt like absolutely everything was interesting, even a trip to the bathroom (the multi-functional toilet seats have to be experienced). I loved reading Catherine Keenan’s tale of travelling with teenagers in Japan ( Traveller, August 19), I too recently had the most marvellous time with my 15-year-old daughter, eating our way around Tokyo and enjoying its beautiful people, culture and customs.

I assume that the limit placed on Qatar’s flights has meant they cannot reintroduce this very convenient flight, which is not offered by any other airline. This makes for a long and tiring journey.
