Kyushu Island
Kyushu Island in Japan is the third-largest and southernmost of the four principal Japanese islands. The terrain is mountainous, and the irregular coastline creates many natural harbours. It is the most densely populated of the Japanese islands. The chief port is Nagasaki. Products the island is known for are: rice, tea, tobacco, fruit and soya beans.
Lake Geneva
Lake Geneva is a crescent-shaped lake shared between France and Switzerland, and overlooked by the Alps. Geneva, the Swiss city at its southern tip, is a diplomatic hub with luxury shops and a cobbled old town. On the southern, French side, is the spa town and resort of Évian-les-Bains.

Walter Reed Army Medical Centre
The Walter Reed Army Medical Centre was known as the Walter Reed General Hospital until 1951 – and was the U.S. Army’s flagship medical centre from 1909 to 2011. Located on 113 acres in the District of Columbia, it served more than 150,000 active and retired personnel from all branches of the military. The centre was named after Major Walter Reed (1851–1902), the Army physician that led the team that confirmed yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes rather than direct contact.
Takadanobaba, Tokyo
The neighbourhood is a transport hub for commuters traveling in from the west of Tokyo as it is home to three popular train lines: the Shinjuku Line, the JR Yamanote Line, and the Tozai Line. Like neighbouring Waseda, the area is synonymous with students. Architecturally, the area around the station is dominated by the monolithic and appropriately named Big Box building. The building houses a sports gym, an arcade, inexpensive clothing stores, a cafe, restaurants, a 100-yen shop, and a bookstore.
