Nice places to visit! I never heard of Che Geuvara but must be an interesting man for you to have been named after.

Japan has so much stuff going on and I too would like to visit at some point, as much the scenic views as the busy cities. I have a sister in law from Japan and she travels back every other year. Very expensive to travel there for us. Just the plane ticket costed her 3 grand canadian. Then the rest of the expenses...I'll be there in 10 years! LOL

The last destination looks absolutely beautiful! I can just imagine what the weather is like and all the adventures that could be had.

I am sorry for how things are going where you live. It does not make sense to me for people to live in such problematic ways. It's just ugly.
