If you’re planning on going to the Far East for any reason this is an essential resource. If you’re housebound and want to travel in your mind John will take you there. Excellent video and information also at his YouTube channel.

I feel like this podcast would be very helpful before a trip but the sounds makes it practically inaudible. Moving forward, the podcast would benefit from dimming the background music significantly and working on the speaker’s sound to be less flat and muted. I tried listening through several...Read full review »
