I am your host, Michael Covell, not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

After just leaving Tokyo yesterday, and I'll talk about that in a second, but I'm now in Hong Kong, boy, can there not be any difference in these two places?

You might be sitting somewhere else in this world right now, and you might be saying to yourself, what's the difference, man?

I'm sitting here in America, or I'm in Europe or whatever.

It's almost, it's very difficult to describe. So Tokyo is this just fantastic place. It's so

organized. It's so civilized. I mean, the vending machines, come on, green tea vending machines, every 100 feet, it seems, always take bills, always take change, always can give change, gives you hot or cold tea perfectly every time, just the most civilized place.

And food is the best.

It's a little slow though.

You know, it's, I mean, the people are wonderful.

You just, you just, Tokyo, if you haven't been, just get on a plane and go.

You got, you got to go to Tokyo.

Tokyo is awesome.

But it's such an interesting contrast to land in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is just on fire.

Everybody is here trying to make something happen.

I've not been to mainland China yet.

I can't imagine what Beijing's going to feel like, what Shanghai is going to feel like.

But Hong Kong is just, it's alive, it's electric.

You don't have to like it.
