Visa's on their way.  All flights booked, accomodation for China is sorted.  Will be fixing up Thailand accomodation within a week (we might be heading down the peninsula for a few days, so don't want to book all up in Bangkok just yet).

from http://www.tribalfootball.com/japanese-visitors-kawasaki-frontale-impressed-central-coast-visit-229522

"Japanese club Kawasaki Frontale FC recently visited Central Coast ahead of their clash with the Mariners in April.

Kawasaki Frontale face the A-League club in the Asian Champions League next month and were in the country on a familiarisation session.

They were impressed with what they saw.

"This seaside town is very beautiful," Kawasaki coach Yamagishi Shigeru said through a translator.

"We have not done much research on the Mariners yet but we are expecting a tough game when we come here in April.

"We want to get a good result. Ever since our club was formed in 1996 we've set high standards," Shigeru added.

"Our players are very motivated and have a big challenge ahead of them. I know the Mariners finished premiers last year and they will be tough to beat." "

For those who have the Sopcast (as outlined in the Shandong thread):

We are currently being shown on 'GD Sports' against whoever-it-is-we're-playing-today, we're up 1-0 with about 2 minutes to go until halftime.

The pitch is worse than Bluetongue.  ;D
