My Dream Vacation
Japan is my dream vacation destination, because I am interested in Japanese culture, foods, spa, unique cities, fashion, and technology. First, I like the culture. They have a holiday named: “Seijin No Hi”, which can be understood like a mature day for all the girls who have just become legal adults. On that day, almost families buy a kimono (Japanese traditional costume) for their daughter, and the young girls, who become mature, will typically go to a nearby shrine and pray for health, success, money, etc... Also, I love Japanese food, like tofu, sushi, miso, soba…,which is one of the healthiest and most delicious in the world. It provides a different outlook about food, which cannot be compared with others country food. One more special thing in Japan is the spa. In a spa, the interior decoration make you feel comfortable and so relax; moreover, they use the hot water which comes from a volcano and it contents mineral. In addition, the Tokyo city, capital of Japan, is one of the busiest cities in the world. It is modern and extremely crowded; however, it still has a lot ancient temples.
One more thing that I am interested in Japan is special style of fashion. I believe that Japanese has their own unique style which cannot be found elsewhere in the world. You never know what kind of ideas they are going to come up with, or what they are going to put on their clothing, and what kind of hair style they are going to set up. Finally, Japan technology, which is in very high position, is usually among top 3 in the world. They have created a lot of things which are helpful and durable like cars, cameras… To me, Japan is a nation where you can experience old traditions and high-technology all in one. This country is full of mysteries and I will discover them. There are some of the reasons that make Japan my dream vacation destination.

    Japan - Against All Odds

    One of Japan’s many problems was its physical geography. Japan’s land is over 75% mountainous and has over 80 active volcanoes. The lack of flat land means that is difficult for them to build vital roads for transport. Its weather and climate can cause problems such as severe storms called typhoons – there can be over 30 of these a year. These can interrupt building projects and cause severe damage to the people and their houses. Another problem Japan has is its tectonic activity. It is situated on the border of 4 different plates which causes many natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. Oil is also an issue in Japan as it does not have any natural resources to provide it, so oil has to be imported.…

    “Asian Pacific Space” is a place and community where a specific Asian Pacific ethnic group of people live, build many substructures, and run business. These elements create the unique characteristics which reflect the culture of the specific Asia Pacific ethnic group.

    The people in Japan have depended on rice for about two thousand years, and it still plays a vital part in their diets today. It was so important, that the Japanese word for rice, “gohan,” is also used to mean “meal.” During the summer months, the people of Japan pray for rain so that the rice may grow. It has been idolized as the core of any Japanese meal. Rice, along with sake and mochi, are all powerful symbols in Japan. Other dishes the Japanese men brought with them when they migrated to Hawaii was Japanese plums (ume), tofu, and bento boxes. But believe it or not, America also had it’s lasting impression on Japan. In World War II, during the food shortage of the 1940s, the American Occupation brought about a powerful Western influence to the people of Japan. 1971 marks the beginning of Japan catching up with the rest of the world culinary-wise. It’s amazing how much we’ve affected each other over the times. Hawaii even introduced hula to the Japanese! Since we’ve talked about food and culture, I will lastly talk about creating the nisei…

My favorite food in Japan is okonomiyaki, and I have learned that this food is only served in Hiroshima and Osaka. If I were given an opportunity, I would defiantly visit Japan to…
