This is what my blog post is about...

Look back at your travels to a very distinct region that sticks in your mind. Was it a formal, functional or perceptual region? Describe how it fits into one of these categories. What were economic, cultural, and physical characteristics (land, sea, weather) of the region? Next, go to the Web to find a map that includes this region. Look for man-made and natural borders. Use a paint program to draw in what you see as the borders. Insert this image into your post.

The 'Real' Blogging:
The place where I'm choosing is the Romantic Road in Germany... I am not very sure of it's a functional or a formal region. But I think it's a formal region. The Romantic Road contains a lot of towns. And I think there's a little of the perceptual region.

So it's the South West of Germany, like a pathway in the Oberbayern region.
Economic (some): Mineral resources, vehicle manufactire, mechanical engineering, and electrical equipments.
The export it half to Italy, UK, France, and Austria...
Culture:
RELIGION: Catholiscism (southern part)
TRADITIONS: Costumes = Tracht... They weaer in Altbayern Lederhosen for males and Dirndl for females. They have 'Century-old' folk musics.
FOOD & DRINKS: Beer (they are known as 'beer-lovers'), water, barely, and hops.
LANGUAGE: There are 3 kinds. Austro-Bavarian, Swabian German, and East Franconian German.
Geography: There's a lot in geography at this region... So check out this website that I've found..

Will Barack Obama focus more on the Asia-Pacific region?
By Vishakha Desai Posted on Thursday, Nov 06, 2008.

As we all know, Barack Obama was elected as the US new president. Now, people all over Asia hope that he will support them. People were asking others about Obama's postion right now based on 3 issues ~ those are dealing with trading, foreign policy, and the geo-economic orders. All of us are still hoping that US new president we give the answers in a way of action.

Countries including India feel that the America and Europe have been on the sides ~ "free” and “fair” trade. But from a more narrow nationalistic perspective. If they are going to have "fair" trading, the new administration will need to deal agricultural problems ~ WTO. Most of all, it'll need to be include both free and fair trade and that comforted Asians that Obama will be alert and aware of their needs.

As the US economy falls lower and lower, the economies of Asian countries will continue to rise higher and higher. Until then, they will remain into such an important source on high technology and industrial goods.

CONCLUSION:
And now, the eager of the answers they questioned, the Asian will continue to look forward into future and see Obama help change the world. The needs for Obama to lead the region’s new realities in condition, has been moved toward East. It is so very clear, that the future of the West will depend on the ways US manages the new power. Do you think so too?
