I'm thinking of traveling. Is Japan a good idea?
I have never been to Japan, but it sounds like a great idea. Go for it!
What can you tell me about its history?
Apparently Japan has been inhabited since the Upper Paleolithic period.  That's a long time!
Oh wow, that's awesome. Does it have enemies?
Not at the present time.  But there have been plenty of enemies in its colorful past.
What should I expect when I get there?
You can expect to see 127 million other people, Japan having the tenth largest population in the world.
Astounding. What kind of food is there?
Do you like Sushi? How about seafood in general?
