Japan was my first trip outside of the United States. It was fantastic there!
Neat Japan is a sovereign island in East Asia! A long flight away! Did you go to Tokyo?
Yes I did, Tokyo was amazing. There were so many shops and stores and things I had never seen before. It was like walking around a giant mall.
Yes! There is a lot to see! It's an archipelago consisting of around 6,852 islands!
Wow I didn't realize there were that many little islands there. I know that they have a lot of natural hot springs there and earthquakes. 
Yes! Also, there are 9.1 million people living in Tokyo! A lot! There was a big earthquake in 2011.
Was that the Earthquake that caused the leak at the nuclear plant?
I believe so. It was a humanitarian crisis and it had economic impacts. Japan has recovered well though!
Japan has a crazy work ethic. Their government recently passed laws to restrict work hours, i think.
Yes! Japanese people make up 98.5 percent of the population and they are dedicated! I'm sure you noticed the hustle and bustle.
