         <description><![CDATA[<div>Japan's area is comparable to that of Germany or California. Japan's northernmost islands are located on a similar geographical latitude as Milan or Portland, while her southernmost islands are on a similar latitude as the Bahamas. More than 50% of the country is mountainous and covered by forests. Japan is politically structured into 8 <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1001.html">regions</a> and 47 <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/list/e1002.html">prefectures</a>.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Due to the large North South extension of the country, the climate varies strongly in different regions. The climate in most of the major cities, including Tokyo, is temperate to subtropic and consists of four seasons. The winter is mild and the summer is hot and humid. There is a <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2277.html">rainy season</a> in early summer, and <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2117.html">typhoons</a> hit parts of the country every year during late summer. The climate of the northern island of Hokkaido and the Sea of Japan coast is colder, and <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2265.html">snow</a> falls in large amounts. In Okinawa, on the other hand, the mean temperature of January is a warm 17 degrees Celsius. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Much about the roots of the Japanese language is unclear. Some link it to the Altaic language family, which includes Turkish, Mongolian and other languages, but it also shows similarities to Austronesian languages like Polynesian.<br><br></div><div><strong>Writing</strong>: <br>The Japanese writing system consists of three different character sets: <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2046.html">Kanji</a> (several thousands of Chinese characters) and <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2047.html">Hiragana</a> and <a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2048.html">Katakana</a> (two syllabaries of 46 characters each; together called Kana). Japanese texts can be written in two ways: In Western style, i.e. in horizontal rows from the top to the bottom of the page, or in traditional Japanese style, i.e. in vertical columns from the right to the left side of the page. Both writing styles exist side by side today.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Basic Japanese grammar is relatively simple. Complicating factors such as gender articles and distinctions between plural and singular are missing almost completely. Conjugation rules for verbs and adjectives are simple and almost free of exceptions. Nouns are not declinated at all, but appear always in the same form.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Pronunciation</strong>:&nbsp;<br>In comparison with other languages, Japanese knows relatively few sounds, and pronunciation poses little problems to most learners. The biggest difficulty are accents, which do exist, but to a much lower extent than in the Chinese language. In addition, there are relatively many homonyms, i.e. words that are pronounced the same way, but have different meanings.<br><br></div><div><strong>Levels of speech</strong>: <br>Different words and expressions are used when talking to an unknown person or a superior, as opposed to when talking to a child, family member or a close friend. For instance, there are more than five different words for the English word "I", which are used depending on the context. For formal situations, a honorific language level (<a href="http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2049.html">keigo</a>) is still in common use.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The company connecting your home to the web will generally provide one of two main types of broadband I<strong>nternet access</strong>: <strong>ADSL</strong> and <strong>Hikari-Fiber</strong> (also known as fiber optic in many other parts of the world) though a limited number of providers still offer cable connection as well.&nbsp; While there are technological differences between the two types of service, they both provide high-speed access to the Internet at similar cost.&nbsp; The main distinction is that <strong>Hikari-Fiber </strong>has a much higher theoretical speed and provides a higher tier of service, often referred to as a “<strong>gigabyte service</strong>” or something similar.&nbsp; Please confirm with your building’s management and the line connection company when ordering service as to what types are available at your address.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Globalization has had various impacts on Japanese <strong>companies</strong>, <strong>household finances</strong>, and the <strong>economy</strong>, as the cross-border movement of <strong>products</strong> and production factors becomes more <strong>active</strong>. As Japan has long been a trading nation and now faces a declining population, it is indispensable for the country to continue to extend cooperation with <strong>Europe</strong> and the <strong>United States</strong>, other <strong>Asian countries</strong>, etc., and actively introduce favorable factors,&nbsp;</div><div>mechanisms, etc. that can work as an engine for new development. This requires the formation of a new economic structure to create a virtuous circle of the nation’s economy while positively using the dynamism of the globalizing world economy.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>For Japan and many other nations, globalization is equated with <strong>North Americanization</strong>. When one looks at the rampant use of <strong>English</strong> loan words in Japanese, for example, it is almost impossible to live in Japan without <strong>knowing English</strong>. This process of internationalization has proceeded at the expense of a loss of Japanese culture and identity among <strong>young people</strong>. Japan’s modernization process can be viewed as a globalization process as well. Japan’s adoption of European imperialism resulted in total devastation of both the country and many traditional values. Following World War II, Japan <strong>adopted some North American values</strong>. There have been quite a few alarmists who warned Japanese that Japanese culture has been jeopardized very seriously by the <strong>Western culture</strong>; but the globalization force seems unmatched by internal protest.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
