Why don't you hit up Chengdu for WCG for a bit, then head off to HK?
Despite my Asian heritage I've never actually been to mainland China, so I'm no help there.
Knowing you, you'd have a blast in Malaysia/Vietnam/Thailand, doesn't matter which one really. They're all hot/humid as hell, although the cuisine will be very different in all three.

You get to meet June in Vietnam =]

I haven't been to asia myself, but I have a friend who went backpacking in Vietnam last year and he says it's a really awesome country he's planning another trip and I might go with him.

COME TO VIETNAM CHILL.
+ Show Spoiler + Hongkong is boring as hell, Jesus, should be a big waste of time there
|
I'd go with Thailand. Vietnam is probably cool too and all, but I'd imagine it would be more similar to Japan and Korea than Thailand would be.
|
If you're only staying for a week or so id pick thailand over vietnam.. vietnam is wonderful but personally i think for time < 3weeks thailand is the better choice.
Thailand is better for being a tourist vietnam/cambodia/laos is better for backpacking imho.

There's probably going to be nothing to do in Hong Kong for you. Vietnam or Thailand seem like nice options. Japan sounds good, too. Never been there so I wouldn't know :p

Might be worth while to go to Singapore as there is a big SC community there.

Speaking of which, did you do your trip to the border? How was that? I would have wanted to go there.

Yea, it sucked. The only interesting part was the history. North Korea actually built 4 huge fucking tunnels under the DMZ to sneak into South Korea through. South Korea found the first one and then set up stuff to detect if NK was building more. When they were, SK built a tunnel that intercepted NK's tunnel, and NK covered the tunnel in coal, said they were digging for coal, and abandoned the tunnel rofl. You could actually go into the tunnel. And my tour guide was a cutey. But viewing the actual DMZ, train station, "hope village" or whatever they were called wasn't good. The history and the tunnel were good though.

hong kong is soooo expensive and there is a lack of attractive females. plus it is not really china... its more of its own thing.
if you want to see real china then go check out nanjing or even head all the way north to beijing where the real action is.
if visa shit is an issue then just go to thailand. i recommend koh phangan for party and koh tao for chill-ing. whites seem to love the place.
