Well we went from Syria to Japan. It's uncoordinated but everything doesn't need to be perfect. We're visiting different cultures in random orders. At least we're learning something new!! Well for some it might not be new but hey at least you can say you knew that fact already. I was going to choose China to go along with the groups China theme but apparently Syria and China are in a bit of a problem ( war controversies ) . We might be covering that who knows?! Plus Japan and Syria are at each other in soccer so we're learning about the two amazing rivals. China is amazing too. Every country is amazing. I like anime so I was more willing to pick Japan but then again I like Chinese music so it was kind of hard. Enough of me, now we travel 8,520 km to reach Japan!
