GreenGoPost.com and Leon Kaye will be in East Asia for two weeks, exploring the latest and greatest in Japan and then Korea. We'll view the latest in rail, clean energy, recycling and having a little bit of fun on the side, too.

Both countries mean a lot to me personally. I lived in Korea for three and a half years. Japan, which has intrigued me since a fourth grade introduction, has a fascinating history. Fierce rivals and yet so closely intertwined, a week in either country is never enough time.

If you are in the sustainability or corporate social responsibility fields, reach out to me by finding my contact information here or following me on Twitter.

Full disclosure: Panasonic is covering the costs for the Japan portion of the trip.
