Introduction
This blog was created by Evan Ramirez
My name is Evan Ramirez. I am a sophomore undergraduate enrolled in the Business School at the University of Colorado-Denver. I am from Aurora, CO, and have lived here all my life. For my blog, I have chosen to chronicle Japan's main island, Honshu (shaded in purple).
I chose Honshu because I have always thought Japan was such a beautiful location and a place I would want to visit in the future. Another motivating factor is the fact that my boss is Japanese and recently sent her daughter to college in Japan for the year, so naturally, my curiosity about Japan was piqued. What is also interesting about Japan is the juxtaposition of beauty with disaster. Japan lies directly over a fault line, which naturally causes many earthquakes and tsunamis. Yet despite the ever-present dangers, Honshu boasts many stunning sights, none more beautiful then Mt. Fuji.
What I desire from this semester is a deeper and more logical understanding for just how islands such as Honshu were made and understand the processes that went into creating and forming such stunning landscapes and features. I do not know how geographically diverse Honshu is, but through this class, I hope to learn more about Honshu's physicality and be more informed in regards to this region.
