This site has a collection of clever and witty maps, but what is obviously and sorely missing is an Asian perspective. What would a map of the world according to Japan look like?

Korea - angry garlic eaters
Hawaii - honeymoon
Guam - golfing

Places that were invaded/occupied and then kicked out of?
eg Manchuria, Burma

Places that were bombed sucessfully - Pearl Harbour, Darwin

Mongolia - SUMO

Vladivostok - Russian Sailors who sully the Hokkaido onsens?

PNG - Kokoda track

South Pacific islands where they buy votes for the international whaling commission - eg Vanuatu...

North Korea - abductees

Then further afield:
Peru - Political exiles from here are welcome
Brazil - workers
Australia - Gold Coast and Cairns - shopping and Koalas (and Becky)
Europe - 15 countries in 15 days on a bus trip
Nigeria - Roppongi touts
America - where all white foreigners are from
France - competing Nuke technology and Beaujolais

According to your ignorant "view"? Sure....

The Japanese way to generalize Korea(ns) nowadays is more like:

tv dramas with cool/cute actors

(o)k-pop with cool/cute dancers/artists

leather & brand goods - cheap shopping

Ah, that explains it. I don't watch much J TV these days so I haven't seen what she's been up to.
