A virtual underwater playground with its breathtaking coral, the Philippines draws thousands of divers from Japan, China, and Taiwan each year. It is located in Asia near the southern fringes of the eastern Himalayas. In Siberia, it can get so cold that the moisture in a person s breath freezes instead of forming vapor. It can actually be heard when it falls to earth as ice crystals. In the southern part of Japan, it rarely snows to any great amount except for the mountains, but the northern part usually has plenty of snow in the winter.
Autumn is by far the best time to visit Japan, as far as the weather goes.
