Travel Alternatives - from Tokyo
Here you are in Tokyo and want to go someplace to get away from the
noise, polluted air, pressures of work, school, or whatever. Your
travel agent will
offer you his latest packages. Here we plan to offer links to
destinations you may not have thought about. With luck these links will
be useful, but be forewarned that these may be places that are
difficult. Transportation may be poor or unreliable, or horribly
expensive. There may be security problems,
visa problems, food problems. There may not be much to see or do, and
few
things to buy. If you are one who loved Alex Kerr's
LOST JAPAN or who is searching from the "real" something, you
probably want to get
away from Tokyo, Hong Kong, Manila, Bangkok and the like. We will
populate
this page with links suggesting destinations that offer something
different.
If you have suggestions or comments, tell us.
Russian Far East - If only Japan and Russia would
settle
their arguements, this could be a wildly popular package tour
destination.
Instead it is wild. Frankly, I like the summer climate, but hesitate to
trust
Russian heating in frigid winter.
Vladivostok -

Asia - This is an offbeat source that contains some
nuggets of real value if you have the time; and a lot of hard to
navigate, out-of-date stuff,
but it can be worth the effort.
