Japan is a land of striking scenic beauty. First time visitors are impressed by its greenness and its mountains, which cover nearly three-quarters of the country. Gentle plains and intermountain basins account for only about 25% of Japanese territory. Here, the flat lands are geologically young and the soil run off from the surrounding mountains is shallow.
The rugged peaks, snow-fed lakes, turbulent rivers, rocky gorges and waterfalls and dense forests are breathtaking, but they put severe limits on livable land. With seventy-five percent of the nation unsuitable for either habitation or cultivation due to mountains and rocky sea coasts, and with only 16 percent of the land cultivated, the entire Japanese population actually lives in an area roughly the size of the state of Maine, about 85,470 sq km (33,000 sq ml). This makes Japan the most populated country in the world in terms of population per livable square mile.

One day, the Frog was intent on mischief. He tied the foot of the Mouse tightly to his own. Then, the Frog led his friend, the Mouse, to the meadow where they usually searched for the food. After this, he gradually led him towards the pond in which he lived, until reaching the banks of the water. He suddenly jumped in, dragging the Mouse with him.
The frog enjoyed the water amazingly and swam croaking about, as if he had done a good deed. The unhappy Mouse was soon sputtered and drowned in the water. Soon afterwards, his poor dead floated on the surface.

My friends and I have just returned from an interesting and amusing holiday at Maninjau Lake, near Padang. The lake was a crater surrounded by dense forests and rice fields. We swam in the lake, ate fish from the lake, and enjoyed the cool breeze.
From there we had a two hour trip to Bukittinggi, a small hill top town, which was clean, cool, and friendly. Day trips around the hill took us to some spectacular countryside with coffee, clove, and cinnamon farms. The traditional Minangkabau houses, with the roof shaped like a buffalo’s horns, are everywhere.
On the following day, we went by plane to Medan and then a bus journey to Bukit Lawang, home of the WWF Orang Utan Rehabilitation Center. We stayed in the jungle in a very charming “hotel” with no running water and electricity. We took a bath in the river and had dinner under a kerosene lamp. But, it was quite a wonderful sight to see these giant creatures that came swinging along on trees. The surrounding jungle was alive with monkeys and gibbons.
We spent one night in the jungle after the exhausting trek over mountains and through rivers. From Bukit Lawang, we traveled to Brastagi and climbed Gunung Sibayak. Then, we went to Toba Lake enjoying the beach of Samosir Island. What a great experience!
