Tokyo's Ginza is an upscale shopping, dining and entertainment district lined with department stores and luxury boutiques. The fashion capital of Japan, Ginza is upbeat with a fascinating history. 17th century Ginza was modeled after a Go board with its districts laid out in a grid pattern and crosswalks dividing the streets at regular intervals. This layout still remains. Famous for its spectacular, cutting-edge window displays, Ginza features a yearly show window contest. Each one is a work of art.

Hobart is a port city located in the center of Tasmania, an island south of Australia. Established by the British in the 19th century, it's a city with a rich and intriguing history. Its residents are known for honoring tradition, but they also live in the now. Tasmania has an abundance of wildlife, flora and fauna. It's based in a temperate region, which means the species do not migrate much, so there are a number of animals unique to Tasmania, such as the wombat, echidnas and Tasmanian devil.
