Where to go for a holiday?

I remember this conversation with Ian last year when we were planning our holiday.

Me: Do you want to go on a holiday during Christmas?
Ian: Yes! (excitedly)
Me: Do you want to go Shanghai?
Ian: No!
Me: Australia?
Ian: No!
Me: Korea?
Ian: No!
Me: Then where do you want to go?
Ian: Holiday! (looking puzzled)

I don't think he fully understood the question. We ended up in Korea in the end.
