    Gidday Mark, welcome to BX. Japan is one those "nearby" countries I have long desired to visit, but not made it up there yet. For Asia obviously the coffee culture is pretty well devloped, and with great placings in teh WBC, I assume the espresso culture is up there as well?

    Haha...picking you as a Kiwi or an Aussie? Which is it? Yes I am guessing then it is probably a wee bit similar to Singapore, Malaysia, the Phils and here of course! All over it is slowly changing which is an excellent sign for real quality coffee I reckon

    Sounds familiar, did a year in the States myself 89/90 (Colorado), some time in Australia and the rest in Indonesia. Funny where we end up...
