Japan, Thailand, UAE, Israel
Starting with the positive articles, we have an article on Japan's theme parks including Tokyo Disneyland.
One thing I didn't see in Thailand was khon, a type of Thai performance art:
Khon includes the throaty yet strangely addictive melodies of old-style Thai singing and the booming voices of side-stage narrators, all accompanying brightly bedecked dancers as they frolic, strut and battle their way through adventure-packed tales of heroes and shady characters, lovers and jealous wannabes, good and universal naughtiness.
Most of the articles on traveling to Dubai that I've linked to in the past make it sound quite good, but this one is more neutral. They do say you can find good prices on gold jewelry though.
An even more negative article on Israel tourism. Not surprisingly the north is mostly empty and hotels are closing.
