I would love to visit Japan someday.  Have you ever been?
Yes, I love Japan. It is a sovereign island nation in East Asia
I have been watching the news about boys in Thailand, but I think I briefly saw that Japan had major flooding from storms and many missing? I wonder if that is typical weather in Japan.
Yes It is. Lets pray for it, the storm i heard is extending to China. Oh well, since the characters that make up its name is often called Land of the Rising Sun", lets hope the sun warm them up soon. 
Perfect analogy.. Land of the Rising Sun.  I'd like to see Tokyo, since on television it seems to be such a progressively electronic city!
It would interest you to know that Japan is a  stratovolcanic archipelago consisting of about 6,852 islands.
Really?  I thought it was just one big island!
Oh well, now you know, also there are about 9.1 million residents residing in Tokyo the Capital
