Harry Cheng, a globe-trotter who travels about 320,000 km a year, believes a simple list of names is enough to stir people's interest in scenes they haven't seen before. With this belief, he will soon launch a unique travel guide dedicated to recording travel experiences in Japan.
"The world we are living in today is overloaded with information. If you want to learn more about something, you can by using the Internet and other things. I believe by minimizing information, you can see more about it," said Cheng, 39, president of La Ditta Limited, a company that offers consulting and marketing services to private- and public-sector firms.
The company plans to publish the Been There Done That — Japan checklist on April 1 for people traveling in Japan. The one-sheet index-reference guide, folded like a road map, is basically a collection of checklists and a map of Japan with recommended places and experiences written in both Japanese and English.
