The first of the countries that I´d like to visit

There are many countries that I´d like to visit, so after  carefully meditating I decided the first one on my list is Japan!

The mainly reason is because the culture is very different from us. There are things that  are natural for us that for them may seem very strange for them and vice versa. 

Starting with the language so very different from us, which is composed of two basic syllabaries (hiragana and katakana) that leads you to be able to read and write the basic sounds and words. After that you can begin learning kanjis, that are more complicated characters, some of then  can even  have up to 20 strokes . The Japanese Government established 2000 kanji characters as basics and necessary for daily life, each of one has a specific way of writing and different pronunciations or meanings determined by its context.

Being there I would like to visit traditional temples,  Inuyama Castle, the eldest castle in Japan dated around 1440. I would also like to visit manga stores and typical food restaurants. I would also like to attend one of the many festivals they celebrate within the year.

I think I would like to live there if I could get fluent, but I think I´m a country mile behind :( Also, I´ve heard that they work really really really hard, to the point of killing themselves because of the stressful life they lead, so I´m not very sure if I want that…

So, giving a second thouhgt I think I would like to visit the country just for a few months :)
