Landing In Japan


I can't believe how big Japan really is! The pilot on my flight told me that Japan is 377, 835 sq km and extends 3008 km. I also heard that Japan is west from the Sea of Japan, and east of the Pacific Ocean. I can't wait to go explore everything! That's what I plan to do after I check in at my hotel, just beside one of Japan's landmarks, The Pagoda. Did you know that 10 million people visit it a year? It is a very famous temple. The lady sitting next to me on the plane was just telling me that China, Korea, and Russia are Japan's neighbours. Maybe after this trip I can go to China? I did a little research yesterday and found out that Japan's language, Japanese, is spoken mostly in Japan, but some Japanese emigrant communities around the world use it. It is a language made up of words and songs. It is a hard language for westerners to learn as adults. The earliest time of the Japanese language is in a Chinese document form from the 8th century. I also read that Japan is in the northern hemisphere. Tokyo is Japan's capital, and it is on the east coast of the Island called Honshu. Japan is a group of Islands off the coast of Asia. You can learn a lot of things off the Internet let me tell you.
