My mate Ed (DB member "Portinfer") spent quite a bit of time in Japan. He was really taken with the place. He's now into building guns. See his efforts by searching "Teak 80". Never been to that area of the world myself but have been seeing the sites of the USA on holidays etc over the last decade. Really like the States myself. Last year was in New York and all places north east. Year before was in California and all places south west.
Have fun
Dave
