'I hear they have nice ice displays.'

'As you said, Frank, Tokyo is cliched.'
And I didn't want to be another writer trying to make sense of a Japan that made perfect sense to the Japanese.
Sapporo in Hokkaido was much more than ice.
'Look past the cliches,' said Max, 'and you'll be pleasantly surprised.'
It sounded like a really good plan.
Islands usually have their own flavors, traits and unique ideas.
'It's what makes islands so fascinating,' said Max, who was running with my expansive 'travel' mood.
