How can we forget Japan! Makers of lots of wonderful things we use daily. (I'm not slamming them-just the opposite. I admire the Japanese people greatly). Cars. audio/video equipment. cultural richness. integrity. and yes-anime/manga.

Unrelated-I thought 'tucan' was spelled 'toucan' but I would be more like an emmew.

Also, Japan is geologically interesting, what with all the volcanic activity and the mountainous regions.

Toyota. I've had four so far, and they've never disappointed me.

P.S. To any buy-American folks: according to the VIN, my current Toyota was manufactured in the U.S.
