There are many countries in the world, which one would like to visit. Each one has its own characteristics in architecture, the way of life of its people, landscape, etc. I would like to visit Japan, if I have enough money to pay for the travel.
Given the first choice, I would like to visit Japan because it interests me most. For one thing, the Japanese are a vigorous people. Height may be a disadvantage to them but it is not reflected in any of their activities. As a rule they are a very busy race. Nothing can equal their industry. Geographically placed as they are, they have to be industrious with pluck and courage. The Japanese islands are subject to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Very often the typhoon hits the country. So the people have developed courage and perhaps a philosophical outlook of life. They have learnt to be industrious for survival.
Japan can be said to be a modern nation for its recent history which starts from 1905. From then on Japanese have been progressing by leaps and bounds. They became a very powerful industrial nation competing with England and America. Their goods are found in every market. But they became ambitious and wanted to have territories overseas. This involved them in the second world war. At first, they were victorious but in the end they had to face a shameful defeat. But the wonder is they have been able to rebuild their country within twenty years so well. The secret is their industry.
The Japanese are said to be the neatest people on earth.
They want to keep everything about them beautiful. Thus even a small house will have a neat garden with artificial hills and pools. The interior will be decorated simply but elegantly. Their national dress also shows their sense of beauty. Even taking tea is almost a ceremony for them. So Japan is the country which interests me most.
