I went to Thailand about 6 yrs ago and LOVED it, although I was pretty much stuck inthe Bangkok area (my Husband was over there for work for 12 weeks), I had a blast and loved the place, if is stunning.Japan is supposed tobe beautiful too (my cousin lived there for a couple of years,when he was 16 as a jockey inthe Japanese racing industry and loved it),
Enjoy work and more importantly enjoy that travel.
