{allcanada} Where in the world are Justin Bieber's fave places?

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Justin Bieber's global fame was likely never in doubt in the age of the Internet. But just to be sure, he has spent the past months performing all over the world. Any favorite spots?

"It was all cool, but I loved Tokyo and their Harajuku shopping district," says Bieber, whose passion for tech toys runs deep. "That's the best place to shop for gadgets. We got some cool stuff, but it was all fake (and) cheap. But they have a lot of wild cameras that we never see over here."

Most recently, Team Bieber swung through Latin America, making stops in Peru, Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina. Bieber dubs the land of the tango as his top stop.

"Buenos Aires was just so beautiful," he says. "I loved the vibe of it, the mountains near the city. Brazil was great, too. But I couldn't go anywhere. People swarmed us. It was crazy."

Despite such Bieber fever, the 17-year-old at the center of it all is trying to keep a level head.

"I feel like I have the same heart and attitude as before. It's about the people you surround yourself with," he says. "If you start believing the hype, that's when you start falling into the wrong places. The people around me don't have ulterior motives because they were there before I was famous, before I was making money."

Smart move, considering that Bieber raked in $53 million between May 2010 and May 2011 off album sales, touring and his concert movie, Never Say Never, according to Forbes.
