<p>I love to travel, especially to points in <a class="zem_slink" title="Asia" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia">Asia</a>.  I have a mental list of places in Asia that I <a class="zem_slink" title="Intend" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intend">intend</a> to visit somehow, sometime in my life.  Japan and points within is high on that list.</p>
<p>One of my favorite parts of the web is being able to enjoy the work of others as they chronicle what their lands look like.  It&#8217;s almost like opening the window and seeing the reality of another land just outside your window.  While this sounds cheesy; for this I am quite grateful for the web.</p>
<p>A site that illustrates this very well is <a href="http://ww4.tiki.ne.jp/~mmurakami/setoy/map.html">located here</a>.  This site almost pulls me right in to <a class="zem_slink" title="Japan" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.6833333333,139.766666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=35.6833333333,139.766666667 (Japan)&amp;t=h">Japan</a> and makes me feel as though I&#8217;m standing there on some windy ledge looking around at the various points of interest at dusk.  I love it.  I could spend hours on sites like this.</p>
