agreed :) i travelled to tokyo a while back, tried to save money by staying @ a business district instead of the cool places like shibuya and shinjuku. before i left i walked into a bar @ 4pm - empty - and had free drinks with the owner. He used to be a kawasaki bike repairer. I tried speaking to him in his broken english - was so cool he tried with me! He then opened up this bar for businessmen. i also recommend looking at google earth in aerial view. Looking for interesting looking places - and just giving them a go! i found an incredible spot in Kauai, Hawaii near Lihue...wild coast on one side, a shrine on the other, airplanes taking off on the other. I had to drive past a military satelite installation kinda off road to get to it....zero tourists...was pure magic. I stayed there for 3+ hours all alone :)
