One of my relatives, who hails from @siggy47's cultural region, was trying to relay a news event to me and used the phrase "one of those Japanese countries" to describe the location that he couldn't recall.

The bounty goes to the first stacker who correctly guesses which country he was referring to.

Only one guess per stacker per hour

@siggy47 grandparents are from Lombardi?

No. Calabria, Bari, and Abruzzo. I'm from the lazy south, not the industrious north.

Gotcha. That would have been included in the South Korea guesses, anyway.

Bueno supongo que Japón es un sólo país así que tal ves como como solemos generalizar, cada ves que vemos a un asiático solo lo definimos por chino. Tú amigo quiso decir lo mismo no se definió por un país más bien por cualquier asiático, da la respuesta igual para salir de dudas 👍

No, it really doesn't fit the narrative. Maybe he meant Brazil for some other reason, though.

Nope. That's sort of the direction I was going with my guesses too.

I figured since there is a lot of Japenese heritage in the Pacific Island nations it might be one of those and then I thought maybe he was confusing Samoa with Sumo. Haha
