Comparing Kenya and Japan
I think Japan has been the most interesting country out of Kenya and Japan simply because of their advanced technology, culture, architecture, food and fighting styles. In this essay I will be going through the key interest points of Japan and do a conclusion on which country I would prefer to visit and why.
Firstly, I think the most interesting thing about Japan is their advanced technology. Japan is the world leaders in technology and are way ahead of us. The reason for this is because Japan Company’s such as Sony and Panasonic spend billions of pounds on research and developments on their products unlike others this is why we are so behind. Japans technology is mostly focused on consumer electronics (electronic things for everyday use), robotics and automotive industries (design and developments of motor vehicles).
Secondly, the architecture of the Japan is amazing. Japan is mostly known for its traditional architecture and is world famous for it. The reason for this is because the traditional architecture of Japan was unique for example the roofs of the buildings are curved and this was not normal for Britons of Americans and was influenced. Japans not only famous for its traditional architecture but it is also well known for its modern architecture. Its modern architecture is absolutely stunning because the buildings have been developed again and again making it more unique. The theme of the modern architecture is mostly curved and circular shapes, to make it look futuristic and new.
Thirdly, the food of the Japanese is way different than ours there typical foods are noodles, fish, rice, meat, vegetables and tofu. It is flavoured with soy sauce, dashi and miso they are low in fat but are high in sugars. The Japanese are known for eating all sorts of weird and unusual things such as insects, plants and raw or cooked meat, there are many more things making it more and more interesting.
Lastly, I would like to talk about fighting styles in japan. Martial art

    Japan is a small island nation off the coast of Eastern Asia. Despite its size, Japan has proved to be formidable both economically and militarily. Since the expedition of Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 opened up the past feudalistic and reclusive Japan, this nation has expanded and adopted many imperialistic policies as well as taken a more aggressive military stance. Japan has changed in many ways, but has also continued upholding traditional practices throughout 1853 and 1941.…

    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.

    In my trip to japan I have seen a lot of amazing things. Although japan is very isolated, they are still able to get their culture from neighbor countries such as china and Korea. The religion that they practice is Buddhism which they obtained from china. Another thing they got from china was the Ideographic writing system. The Chinese Tang Dynasty is very important to them because it helped them create their government. I like how they allow women in this time period to have a high position and they even taught them how to read and write!…
