Absolutely fascinating ,and one I can relate to so well. In my previous life I made over 100 trips to Japan ,going for 2 weeks at a time ,4 times a year. Ended up learning to speak Japanese at a limited level.
Very ,very familiar with the wonderful culture.
Vietnam. Been twice as a tourist all over the country, particularly the North. Loved it. More so Hanoi, not so much Hi Chi Minh city. Went from there to Cambodia however by boat up the Mekong river.
