Expert Travel Advice
Men's Journal is getting you set up for summer travel this week. First with a Q&A with the always insightful and entertaining Anthony Bourdain. "What if you found yourself next to CNN's rockstar travel documentarian at a party?" writes Charles Thorp.

It's always life-changing to go to Japan for the first time. It's like life before acid and life after acid. Summer might not be the ideal time to visit there though; it's hot and Tokyo is a city full of people. I would also recommend South Vietnam, Nha Trang. A beach in Vietnam would be nice. Chances are it's very different from the everyday experiences that you are used to. Personally I just fell in love with that part of the world.
