This time next week we will be in the northern hemisphere.
Taiwan
Taiwan is an island north of the Philippines off the coast of China.
It used to be known as Formosa (meaning Beautiful Island)
Officially it is "Republic of China".
The capital is Taipei and the main language is Mandarin.
22 million people live on this island that looks smaller then Tasmania.
They use the new Taiwanese dollar for currency.
We are going on a three day tour to national parks, gorges, hot springs and historic sites.
Japan
Japan is a string of islands stretching up to Russia off the coast of Korea.
The Yen is the unit of currency.
Famous for beautiful art and textiles, theatre and earthquakes.
We get to see the famous cherry blossoms (being spring) and plan to see Tokyo, Kyoto, Kananzawa, Shirakawaga, Takyama and Hakone and as much in between as possible.
