“Do you see many mistakes?” “Only tour three…”

All around Asian countries (photo by Tim Young)

X All around Asian countries

Tim says:

This poster in a travel agency is promoting its tours. However, “all around Asian countries” leaves it unclear whether they mean “in all Asia countries” or “all around within each Asian country”!

However, based on logic, and also based on the Japanese written on the poster, I think it’s clear that my first guess above is the correct one.

O In all Asian countries

Another good way to express this:

O All around Asia
