  • In a new survey, Japan discovered it has 7200 more islands than it previously thought. Digital mapping by the geospatial information authority of Japan recently found there to be 14,125 islands in Japanese territory, more than double the figure of 6,852 that has been in official use. Molly Gambhir reports.

    This reminded me of a childhood incident. We went to a restaurant and among other things ordered a chicken dish. I was adamant that I needed 5 chicken pieces whereas the dish came with 3. To pacify me, the chef came with a knife and asked how many pieces I want. I said 5 and he turned around and made 3 pieces to 5. I did not understand until I grew older. I was happy😂I hope this counting does not end up like that.
