best overseas layovers at FedEx and UPS?
the international flying over at the two big boy cargo carriers looks really interesting. Can some pilots from FedEx and UPS share some layover spots that are popular amongst the pilots in your group and why? Thanks!
PS: I hear Shanghai is awesome.

Dubai, UAE is very popular amongst UPS crews. High on the list would also be Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Honolulu.
My personal favorite is Cologne, Germany. Outstanding hotel, food, beer, shopping, and nightlife.

Auckland, Sydney, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Anchorage, and Bangkok are some of my favorites.

Narita
Narita not so bad, great sleeping layover 
Food downtown is OK and if you don't mind staying up late the various clubing can be fun. As usual it depends on who's there and your temperment 
Penang is good, nice change and friendly people. TPE you can have, smeels bad

Is Canada "International"
My favorite place to see in YYC (Calgary) is Joey Tomatoes.
I have been there several times.
I try to tell people to imagine what Hooters would be like with Class and Great food.
That is what Joey Tomatoes is. Near the airport easy to find and WELL WORTH YOUR TIME.
Hot staff,super food, relaxing aptmosphere, Your American dollar
really goes the distance there.
Open for early or late dinner. Not sure about lunch
