Location

I would like to explain basic information of the location.

First, I want to write about the longitude and the latitude. The United Kingdom located in the Northern from Japan. The longitude of the London is 0° and the latitude is 51゜N. On the other hand, the longitude of Tokyo is 139゜east and the latitude is 35゜N. Click here to see the world map. Therefore, the daytime in winter in the UK is shorter than that of Japan, and the daytime in summer in the UK is longer than that of Japan. Second, I would like to describe the size. The size of the UK is about 244,820 square kilometers, and the size of Japan is about 377,835 square kilometers. Third, I want to write about time difference. Japan is 1.5 times as large as the UK. The time difference is 9 hours between Japan and the UK. When it is 1:00 p.m. in Japan, it is 4:00 a.m. of the same day in the UK.

Next, I would like to tell about the countries that people can go from London by train called Eurostar. By using Eurostar, they can go to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, or many other EU countries from London. Click here to see information of Eurostar. You can go to Paris from 59 euros and it takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes. You can go to Brussels also from 59 euros and it takes about 1 hour and 51 minutes. You can go to Amsterdam from 89 euros and it takes about 5 hours and 5 minutes.

It sounds nice that you can travel many countries by using train. I want to travel EU countries by riding Eurostar someday.
