When visiting node/x, how to use this node's NID and term(s) as argument to get related terms and associated nodes?

Say, node/123 has a vocabulary "Country and City" and its terms are Canada and Vancouver respectively. Within the same vocabulary, "Canada" is a related term of "USA" and "Mexico", and "Vancouver" is a related term of "Burnaby", "Richmond". Then I want to get a related terms View that list nodes associated with terms USA, Mexico, Burnaby and Richmond. Of course, also those nodes which have terms Canada and Vancouver too.

I think Attachment Display or Panel context may help but I am not sure. The logic should be get NID first, and based on specified vocabulary, get its terms and related terms, then use those terms to get nodes; slightly complex than ordinary taxonomy term views.

Any suggestion?

Thank you,

Minghui

I would suggest Similar by Terms: http://drupal.org/project/similarterms

This will show you nodes with the same terms in a view. Not sure about the related terms functionality.

Thanks

I installed that already. It does not do what I want. For example, if a node has a term "Buddhism", then it is related with other religions. (they do not have same terms though).
