    There is still plenty of places here on Earth - you just need to look a little more carefully :). Mind you, you could always move off the iis

    AO, Japan is very beautiful place, I just hope that they stop that whale and dolphin killings. It’s only reason why I am hesitating to travel there…

    AkustaVirtaa,
    Japan is a place well worth visiting, regardless of the whale killing. You need to get out of Tokyo and into the country to really experience the whole Japanese life. I have found that only speaking English has not been a problem - most restaurants have either an English menu, or pictures of the food, and, out of Tokyo, a lot have plastic models of the dishes in the window - just a matter of point and a finger or two to indicate how many. And they all seem to understand "beer", and if you do not drink beer, water and tea is often served as a matter of course. And if you are not eating, people will always try to help you get whereever you want to go - helps if you have a map printed in both Kanjii (Japanese characters) and English.

    Wearing a Sea Shepherd t-shirt - no problems. I was bouncing between Australia and Japan when all that was going on - interesting to watch the different spin put on the same incident, but, mostly, the general Japanese people really did not care what was going on - most of them do not eat whale, or at least, those in Tokyo do not eat whale.

    AO, I am glad that some country has guts to say something out loud than just small talking inside cabinets. :)

    I am going to holiday to abroad so I will be out of few weeks, leaving tomorrow.
