I have done numerous travel researches in different parts of the world. Out of all, I enjoy researching on Japan trips the best. It's simply because I know Chinese words and some Japanese characters look similar to Chinese characters. Plus, I like Japan so much that I started learning Japanese for a few months time already. Besides, Japaneses are very organized that most of the site info are very informative. Here are some useful sites I must hit every time:

For example, I want to go fishing in Scotland and I am not a regular, so I was so confused with some words like fishing "beat", "rod" and "loch". At first I thought they are some fishing jargon, but they turn out to mean something else in Scottish English. Fishing "beat" means a fishing site. A rod is actually a fisherman and loch means lake. Below shows a bit of my favorite Scottish sites:
