Part II

So what did you think of Japanese clothing? Did you think it was the same, or different, than American clothing? Do you think their clothes are made from the same types of materials as American clothes?

Before you go on, check the label on your shirt. Where was it made? Maybe it was even made in Asian country. Many of the clothes that are sold in America are actually made overseas. Why do you think clothing manufacturers make clothes in Asia that they are planning to sell in America?

If you're not sure if your shirt was made in an Asian country, look on your world map. You can use an atlas for your map, or you can look at a world map on the National Geographic Web site.
