- Why not wiki. I think it's most reliable. Most of the sites operated by the Japanese out there are likely written in mangled English just like we do.
- wow i find it amazing that this quiz is only two weeks away and none of this material was studied in class... and if you want information on some of those obscure topics, then wikipedia is your best bet. teachers are just being jackasses when they say wikipedia is crap.
- Yeah, it's called a LIBRARY. Heeeelllllooooooo! Wiki is crap, by the way. It's mostly right and informative about anything, but very rarely completely right about any one thing. It's like going to YA for answers for your homework when you should have been paying attention in class. Besides, most teachers don't have as much problem with using Wiki if it weren't put together by people who masquerade as specialists that aren't. If you got this far, then try the CIA. Other than spying for the US, they are employ some of the most outstanding historians and academics in the country. They produce a fact book free to the public about all the countries in the world. Try https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ja.html . It's at least a good place to start. Try amazon.com for some titles about Japanese culture and have them shipped to you with overnight express.
