I dont know about you, but i feel like i should take a trip to Japan....
I have always wanted a go, but not as a vacation, more or less a cultural experience. I think its calling me :p
What about you folks? You interested in Japan?
 
China or Russia for me but if your offering a ticket I'll go to Japan . :D
 
China, Japan or Russia for me.

Russia is HUGE. I can't beleive how big it is.
 
I'd love to go to Japan too - it's just so different to the culture over here :) Probably #1 on my list too :nod:
 
I;m going to Wales in a few weeks

Took the Trans Siberian Railway from Moscow to Irkutsk ( just north of Mongolia at Lake Baikal) and found I was a little over half way to Vladivostock !!!!! My journey had lasted four days and the onward trip was another three !! Russia is ENORMOUS and so interesting as you get further east. Often saw horse drawn ploughing of fields and in many places no proper roads, only mud tracks.

Most people, of course, only visit Western Russia but even that is very DIFFERENT. Give it a try - the people are incredibly friendly.
