All these posts from Japan make me want to finally learn how to use WorldMapPin so I can start pinning all the fun places I go to around New York City, and specifically Brooklyn. I guess it can't be THAT hard, but the first few times I tried to figure it out, it just wouldn't link properly for me.
Well anyways, I definitely learned a bit about the geography and political divisions of the territory, prefectures. I think I would be more happy in the busy cities than the quiet countryside, but to each their own.
