Japan-the Strange Country
Japan - the Strange Country
Japan is a small country located in east Asia. The population is around 130,000,000 (one hundred and thirty million) people. The total world population is 6,800,000,000 (six point eight billion), which means that roughly 2 in every 100 people are Japanese. Japan 's land area measures 378,000 (three hundred and seventy-eight thousand) square kilometers. If the earth 's land area is 149,000,000 (one hundred and forty-nine million) square kilometers and the total area is 510,000,000 (five hundred and ten million) square kilometers, then Japan is no bigger than this red dot.
Japan is the most advanced country in Asia. It is second only to America in GDP and it 's proud of its high standard of living and economic wealth. Life expectancy of Japanese men is 79 years and 86 years for women, which is the longest in the world. And there are culture practices such as KABUKI, BONSAI, SUMO, SADOU, KIMONO and ORIGAMI, all of which have developed into distinctly Japanese traditions.
And we must not forget, Japan was the first country in the world to experience the destructive power of not one, but two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II. More than 220,000 (two hundred and twenty thousand) people lost their lives and as a result, Japan abandoned its war time constitution.
In these ways Japan is a country with its own original culture and history, but nowadays there are also many strange things about modern day Japan. Let 's take a look at these strange things in eight different categories.
1. Character. Japanese people tend to be short, have black hair, small mouth and small eyes. This is a typical Japanese salaryman and over here is a Japanese schoolgirl. These days Japanese girls have a variety of ways to make their eyes appear bigger. There 's even a function to make your eyes so big when you have a photo taken. Japanese technology sure is amazing. Another obsession Japanese girls have
