People rushing around with a sense of urgency and leisure to their given destinations, the succulent smell of delicious food gently floating through the air, city lights rebounding off of building windows against the scene of the setting sun. This is a scene in Tokyo, Japan and given the chance to visit any place in the world, Tokyo is on the top of that list. I would travel to Tokyo because it's one of the biggest, most high tech, most exciting, and its appealing rich culture.

The first reason Japan intrigues me is its immense size from the city landscapes to the country side scenery. When one thinks of Japan, they usually think of the capital. Tokyo is the capital of Japan and one of the largest cities in the world. Tokyo is made up of 1,359 square miles of urban cities.

I'm a person that loves adventure and the possibility of getting lost in one of the biggest cities in the world is an exciting prospect. This may vary from person to person although, this is one my personal interest. The sense of going on an exploration of a foreign city is an immense combination of emotions . Emotions that would include fear, anxiety, excitement, and joy. It's a feeling that I had felt while abroad in Korea and I've longed for such a feeling again.

Tokyo Japan, the number one place on my list to visit before I die. I miss the sights, the sounds, and the atmosphere of this great city. It is something else to visit a country that is so different from your own. The experience in itself is probably one of the most fulfilling feelings you'll ever experience in live. Along with the chance to spend some time in a city so large, filled with adventures around every turn, excitement in everything you do and see, the amazement of the technology you'll get to play with and experience, and straight down to the rich culture that you will experience and learn about. A culture which, is completely different from our own. I can only hope that everyone would take the opportunity and would be willing to explore and learn about places and people of the world.
