Asia Pacific - March 2007

Everyone hears about Japan and China, but not usually Korea. Korea seems to always be left behind in the tourist guides. This being said, what is Korea like? Geographically, culturally, ethnically, etc? Also, besides the politics and economy, how are south korea and north korea alike and different?

Not in a hurry but I am thinking of going to Japan for a vacation. I am planning to fit everything in a two-week itinerary so I have to plan properly to make the most of it. And hopefully, not to screw things up. I am limiting my itinerary to Tokyo, Kyoto and Kanagawa. Hopefully after that, I’d be able to travel again and go to Sapporo and the other islands of Japan.

If I am not mistaken, Kyoto was the former capital so I’d like to visit that too. I heard there are many old buildings and shrines there.

Oh yeah. I love some manga and anime *cough*, so it would be good to buy some goodies. Also, maybe see Orange Range in concert if I’m lucky.

I am planning to stay in a ryokan to really have a unique experience. Any recommendations?

I'll learn more words aside from ‘arigato’ and ‘sumimasen’ if I want to make this as hassle-free as possible. Is there anything else that I shouldn’t miss? Any travel tips for a lady who is traveling alone would be welcome.

Thank you!

If I were to move to Japan, would I go there and look for a place to live and then move in or would I do it all from the United States? Thanks.

I've always wanted to visit Tokyo, and I plan on it soon, but I'm going to be moving to Japan in a few short years, and my choice of jobs depends on where I live. I like Tokyo (well, I'm sure I will once I get there) but Kyoto has that more Japanese feel to it, and it's a modern city. Can anyone tell me from experience which one's better? Thanks.

I have some questions for you:
1. Have you been to Japan? (if yes, how long?)
2. Do you ask questions, answer questions, or both?
3. Why do you come here to Yahoo Answers Japan? What kinds of questions do you feel confident you can answer?

Hi,

I am an expat looking for a house for rent in Singapore. Preferably a simple 2 bedroom apartment... preferably private (non-HDB).

Can anyone tell me:

1. What are the factors I should consider while choosing property or renting it?
2. What is the best way to search for properties?
3. What should I be careful about (if anything)?

Thanks in advance.
