Google has totally pussied out. No version of Google maps (Japanese, Korean, US) lists any name at all for the Japan Sea. Other seas in the area are all labeled. Apparently Google is easily bullied by Korean nationalists. :mad2:

When it cames to the names of places I only trust my 1963 version of the Encyclopedia Brittainica. Mind, its damned difficult to book a trip to Bechuanaland these days.

Perhaps but search "Sea of Japan" and see where the map points. Straight in the middle of Nihon Kai. Search East Sea and nothing happens.

As we've said over and over again, even if they wanted to change it to a more neutral name, "East Sea" is probably the worst choice ever. That's really weird that google simply removed the name...but consider how much business they're doing with Samsung et company. They probably were pushed to do something and this was their compromise.

not a bad idea considering that loony japbabas think that google is spying on them and taking shots of her knickers... wait... they did...

It's still pretty likely that a bunch of whiny Koreans bitched so much about it that Google removed the name.

Yeah the Japanese do not get as excited as the Chinese and Koreans on cultural issues. It's hard to agitate the Japs.

Check out the wiki page for Sea of Japan and mouse over the 'languages' menu on the left. Every one of them except for Korean calls it some variant of "Sea of Japan".

This is still the bottom line for me. Without Japan, there would be no sea for the Koreans to call anything. Would they then be arguing with google about the naming of the Pacific Ocean?

The bottom line for me is I don't give a fuck what Koreans want to call it in their language so they should not give a fuck what I want to call it in mine.
