LETTER TO
THE READER
CREDITS:
Dear Reader,
First of all I’ll like to thank you for reading my magazine. This magazine is Japan in general. I decided to create this magazine about Japan because it's a country that interests me. It is an advanced technology country that is very well developed. In this magazine you will find Japan's Geography like where is it, what is it made up of and more. You will also find some really cool facts that you may have not known and some tips for when you visit like how to transport yourself and the technology. In the magezine there is a timeline with Japan's most important events. Finally you will find a Ted Gioia's review from the book A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami, and some issues Japan has been having lately. I hope that you end up fascinated of Japan as well as I did.
