A ``Backup`` Tokyo

You have heard of backup batteries or backup flashlights or even backup shoes but a backup city is totally insane. Tokyo maybe cool but another one is a little too much.

Japanese are planning to build a complete replica of Tokyo in case of catastrophe. People are saying its a good idea because its always good to have a spare battery...or in this case a whole new city.

This ``New Tokyo`` will take over all the major functions of the original Tokyo in case the real one is distroyed. This is still a debate but who knows maybe one day we might have two Tokyos or even Washing D.C.s.

  1. What the heck? So what happens if you live in backup Tokyo--is that your address? "Backup Tokyo?"

    Like the article says, this really does sound like it came from the satire news site "The Onion." Nice work on an interesting topic.

  2. I know that does sound kind of wierd ``1234 8th street Backup Tokyo``. I guess its just for controls and stuff in case of war or someting like that but i think it a great idea. Tokyo is the main city in Japan.
