1. Rarotonga
2. Beijing
3. Greek Islands
4. Paris
5. Venice
6. Honolulu
7. Chang Mai
8. Brazil

Yeah, thats how I was choosing as well.. plus if its free airfare and free hotels.. I chose some damn expensive cities like Tokyo (already been there, but free hotel for 10 days and it would be real fun).

I'll answer this post posing as one of my university students (with whom I posed a similar question and got similar results).

1) Seoul
2) Pusan
3) Jeju City
4) Dok-do City (There will be a city there soon-don't worry)
5) Tajeon
6) Taegu
7) Kyeongju
Cool Jeonju (for the bibimbap, yo!!)
9) Kwangju *
10) Everland (not really a city, but...)*

* For those students who have family abroad, 9 and 10 are Los Angeles and Chicago respectively.
