19. london, amsterdam, panama city?
Why do I have this sick feeling as soon as I hit "send" then I'll think of another I'm more familiar with?

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

22. I've only been to the Tokyo Airport...but found Beijing very difficult.
But I knew the route from my hotel to Tienanmen Square...you left the hotel and headed right.

Never been to Vancouver but hear it is very beautiful, fun and progressive.

28. If you ever have a half day or so layover in the Tokyo Airport
take a little excursion to the nearby town of Narita.

It's a pleasant little city with a large and lovely temple complex and gardens landscaped in a semi-woodland style and plenty of souvenir shops. :-)

Just have your passport stamped for a transit visa, get a few yen out of the ATM, and take the Keisei train (not the non-stop Skyliner, the slow train) to Narita, which costs about 250 yen.
