An opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks is a big gift. If I have such a chance, I will not hesitate to choose Japan as my destination. How wonderful it would be to visit this beautiful, wealthy and traditional “land of the rising sun”.
Although I have never been to Japan, I have read so many things about the country’s beauty. If it is my choice, I will choose to visit Japan in the spring when the appealing cherry trees blossom. The country people often celebrate this signal of the arriving of spring with picnics under the trees. The imagination of sharing this event with them makes me feel excited. I would also love to spend sometime at Fuji mountain, a remarkably symmetrical volcanic cone. The mountain often appears in art and as a symbol of the country. I can also visit many shrines and temples located on its slopes.
Japan is a major economic power, and average income levels and standards of living are among the highest in the world. The experience of the country to be wealthy is a good one to my own country. Japan has had to build its enormous industrial output and high standard of living on a comparatively small domestic resource base. But the Japanese work hard and live economical. That is the main reason for the country’s development. Having the opportunity to see all these things will teach me about my generation’s responsibility to develop our country’s economic.
Besides the beauty and wealth, Japan is famous for its tradition. A bow is the traditional greeting between Japanese, personal space is important and visits are usually arranged in advance. There are many other customary holidays like the Obon, sports such as sumo, or cloths like the kimono.
A visit to Japan will not only be interesting but also broaden my mind. I am looking forward to coming there.
