In Japan, there's a lot of English spoken in Tokyo and Kyoto, less elsewhere in the country IME.
All good Asian recommendations. I've never had any issues in Japan or Korea; haven't been to Singapore but haven't heard of any con artist problems there.
A lot of good European choices, but many involve cobblestones.
