Hello! My name is Mai, 19 years old. I'm a college student, and studying English. I love my country very much― food, culture, style, and so on. Do you know about Japan?

It has a very interesting history and culture. I like the traditional architecture and I especially like the rural areas.

I know a little Japanese culture,it has a long history,but I don't exactly know what role the Japan emperor has now,does the emperor only have the symbol of Japan regime?What else powers does the emperor have now?

Japan is a democratic country which people elected legislators ,the leader of majority party in the parliament will become the prime minister.Japan is second largest economy in the world following the United States,but Japanese military is not strong enough due to the World War Two,but they have a treaty with the States which said that if Japan is attacked by any other countries ,the States will assume themself attacked,they will help to defend Japan from any attack.

Japanese is industrious and intelligent people ,after WWT they not only recovered from the ruin of war ,but also became world economic power,especially Japan Car -making industry and electronic industry have dominated the world for almost half century.

Japan also is civilized country which they have some traditional customs which I don't exactly know what it is .They often bow to other opeople when they see them.

But in fact Japan had done some harm thing to a few Asia countries during WWT,I hope they don't do that again.
