Welcome to Monday on The Brew. We’re just making one stop today and that is right in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, to say hi to our friend and Bureau Chief-at-large, Neil Runcieman. Join him at 1:25, and on Facebook live, for all the New Year’s latest. Robbie McRobbie is having an extended Hogmanay in the old country, and will be back next week.

After the One O'Clock news we cross to Tokyo to get an update on tourism from our correspondent Neil Newman. With the US$ exchange rate hovering around JPY150, tourism is booming in Japan, in fact it's almost overwhelming the country. That means that maybe there are some changes coming... Plus the best in music from down through the years!
