I have often wondered about the Japanese love affair with China. Ask almost any business person in Japan where he would prefer to travel on a business trip and the answer is always China, followed by Thailand, Philippines, maybe. Part of the attraction is the cultural similarities but beyond that in some cases their seems to be an attraction to the incredible entertainment and night-life these countries offer - say in comparison to India.
But this article might raise a red flag for Japanese business executives doing business in foreign countries. Yes, India does not have the equivalent of such night clubs with beautiful women, but then we don't have a culture of such entrapment, blackmail, etc. either.
In India, Japanese businessmen are usually encouraged to visit some of the best sites of historical and cultural importance. Apart from the ever popular Agra with its Taj Mahal, a lot of Japanese also love to travel to Buddhist sites like Gaya in Bihar (eastern India).
As for night life, we have incredible restaurants offering all kind of cuisines in our five star hotels, plus we have a lively disco culture - but you need to bring your own companions. Good thing is that in India it's quite OK for men to hang out in bars, restaurants and even discos on their own without being looked at suspiciously as being gay or something :-)
