Geographic Definition
The first step in any regional study is to define the region's geographical location. Locate several authoritative sources that describe the location of your region. Go to several maps and corroborate the source's definition of the location of your country. Write your own definition of the geographic location of your country and post it as a comment on this page. Read some of your classmate's definitions and see if you might want to refine your definition. Finally, place a link to a chart or map that you feel most demonstrates your definition.

ReplyDeleteThe country of Japan is a Constitutional Monarchy, where the power of the Emperor, or leader is very limited. You can buy anything for less then here in the United States. Shoes, designer shirts, suits, food, anything you could imagine.
Japan is located of the coast of Russia, China, and South Korea, and North Korea. Approximately, 480 miles away.
However life in Japan is very crowded. Sometimes, they even shut down a whole road to let the people cross. Talk about crowded! In Japan at most of the malls have up escalators but no down escalators.
Japan is the farthest east country in Asia. It lies east of the Sea of Japan which lies east of the countries China, North Korea, and Russia.
