Have you ever been to any of the countries listed above?
A.
Yes, I have been to Japan. I really enjoyed my trip there. English is not widely spoken there and it was a challenge getting around the country as most of the signs are in Japanese. Most of the locals also do not speak English. The thing that made the biggest impression on me was the public transportation system in Japan. I especially enjoyed riding the train. It was so convenient. I would love to visit Japan again one day but it will not be any time soon because it will cost an arm and a leg.
