After staring at the atlas for too long, I came to see how Japan and the UK could have been thought of as quotation marks for the word 'Europe-Asia'. Then, when the New World was discovered for ' America '. Or maybe, if you spin your globe around, it's like they are the apostrophes in Europe-Asia's America's Europe-Asia's America's Europe-Asia's America's...
What does it mean? Well, in a recent mumbling to myself, I championed the theory that world history can be viewed as man's quest for coherent geographical punctuation. I call it the cartographico-politico syntactical theory of history and, I can assure you, if you think about it for long enough, all the facts fit.

Gordon I have really enjoyed your Blog. You have entered into the world of Japan and given us all a special insight into the culture . It was great to come and spend time with you and Hiroko and thank you for showing us so many fascinating places.
Now we look forward to welcoming you both back home. MUM
