Hello My Friends !!

....I am Junji TANAKA, living in Vasant Vihar, New Delhi. My father is working with a Japanese company. I am studying in 6th standard in Japanese school. It has been 2 years since I am in India yet.
Today I shall introduce Japan-a far off country.

Two Countries

.... Japans land area is 378,000 square kilometers, it is 1/9th of India(3,287,263km2). The population is 120 million even that is almost 1/9th of India:1,027,020,000（National Census 2001), thus the population density (people/population) is almost the same.

....All you who have started learning Japanese would want to know more about Japan. I would like to introduce some books and websites to you. Apart of myself, there are about 800 Japanese people living in Delhi alone. Please see the home page of Japanese association, off course we have the website of Japanese school,
