I need a little help from my friends!  I will be traveling through Asia for 3 weeks and need some input on some the tricks of the trade there, as well as some specific locations I should check out to taste the local flavor.  Specifically, I will be in Tokyo, Bangkok, Singapore, Beijing, and Hong Kong.  I leave in mid May, so please send me an email with your thoughts, tips, and advice.  Thanks.  [email protected]
