Mae Sot
'Mae Sot...is a bustling border town...Burmese gems, teak, antiquities, drugs, and people are all available for a price. The town itself appears unremarkable, but beneath its surface a dark heart beats...Mae Sot hustles and bustles during daylight, but with the afternoon shadows comes trouble, and it doesn't matter which side of the shade you're on...'

Sado Island (佐渡島)
Sado is the sixth largest island of Japan in area following Okinawa Island and excluding the Northern territories. When direct control from mainland Japan started around the 8th century, due to its remoteness, the island soon became a place of banishment for difficult or inconvenient Japanese figures. Exiles and shipping in old times both had a major influence on Sado's cultural background. The island is for instance dotted with Noh theaters, and Sado local Japanese dialect and accent are different from Niigata.
