whats with the 4 hours??/IfI gotta climb on a plane its either a real short hop of like 90 minutes...or after that who cares....3 strong G&Ts and Im smiling broadly at everyone...
As usual, fountainhall is spot on with his advice regarding Japan. If you don't speak the language or are reluctant to spend top dollar, forget it.
I imagine Korea would be the same deal.
You're better off sticking to a S.E. Asian country.
Cheers. decisions decisions. But a nice decision to make I think,

there are not a lot of fem's running around looking
for Falang's to service them..not at all..and about
the only way you might find one..would be in GR or such
sites....a waste of time here
I'm sure Blueskytoday will agree that unless you know your way around Seoul and speak some Korean the chances of finding gay places and getting to know any Koreans will take so much time that you'll be on the plane home before you realise it. Very much like Tokyo, but at least in Tokyo it's not that hard to find the few bars and saunas etc. that welcome foreigners. Bear in mind, too, that since it is rent you are after, few will know much English, if any. Other cities in Korea? Same situation but even more difficult.
For a relatively problem-free short trip not too far away from Shanghai where MBs are available and there is virtually no language problem, Manila really is about the only solution. And it's a helluva lot cheaper!
