What is the national flower of Japan?
Most people would say that the Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is the National Flower of Japan. But the Yellow Chrysanthemum and the Japanese Apricot are actually supposed to be the National Flower(or flowers). The Cherry Blossom(Sakura) is more worldly renown because of its role in Japanese Legends and because of its beauty. But the Chrysanthemum used to be the sign of a great Japanese Emperor.
It's widely understood that the Japanese cherry flower represents Japan (unofficially), but there are also other flowers that (officially) represents other components of the nation itself (e.g. the paulownia represents the current Japanese government, while the chrysanthemum represents the Emperor).
People often say it is the Sakura, cherry blossom, that is the national flower.

There is no national flower for Japan. However, it is understood by the rest of the world that the cherry blossom (sakura) indirectly represents Japan.

What are some traditions in Mexico?
Tequila, Mariachis and Tacos are regarded as symbols of Mexican culture around the world. This has to do with the fact that Mexicans are cheerful by nature, and indeed passionate about partying. As typical Latin Americans, Mexicans greatly and deeply enjoy dance and music, as well as good food and good drinks.
But it is no longer that simple to describe present Mexican culture, for nowadays it is more of a blend of both history and tradition on one hand, and modernization on the other.
The schedule of national holidays consist of numerous national, regional and local festivities, that are profusely celebrated in each community, a tradition that reflects
the high degree of spirituality found in the population, as a result of both the believes inherited from their ancient ancestors and the catholic evangelization imposed to them by the Spanish conquistadors.
Some of the main festivities include the national holiday of the virgin of Guadalupe, a catholic celebration that every 12th of December reminisce the message that, according to legend, this advocate of virgin Mary left for the Mexican people, represented by a young Indian. Another major event of international renown, is the called Dia de los Muertos or day of the dead, the date when Mexicans celebrate, according to native indigenous tradition, the return of the dead to visit their live relatives, since death is not considered the end but an extension of life in a parallel universe.

What do the colors of the Mexican flag stand for?
At the end of the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), the Army of the Three Guarantees (Spanish: Ejercito Trigaranteor Ejercito de las Tres Garantias) was the name given to the army after the unification of the Spanish troops led by Agustin de Iturbide and the Mexican insurgent troops of Vicente Guerrero, consolidating Mexico's independence from Spain.
At first, the meaning of the colors of the Army of the Three Guarantees was:
- Green: was a sign of independence from Spain.
- White: Religion, faith or belief, the Roman Catholic faith.
- Red: Union among Americans and Europeans
However the meaning of these colors have varied considerably with the passage of time. The last accepted, modern definitions are:
- Green: Hope in the future.
- White: Unity among the Mexican people.
- Red: The blood of the Mexican heroes.

Where is the Emblem credit card program?
This is a special program operated by a junk debt buyer (some times they do get
a hold of current debts) called Jefferson Capital.This program is offered by invitation only and if you receive a invitation letter, make sure that the debt the describe is within SOL, if it it outside SOL, you could reset the clock on an old debt.
I'm going through with them since they offered it on two debts within SOL.
Basically once you accept the offer and join the program, you make so many payments on the account, one you make the qualifying payments, they give you a credit on the owed amount and transfer the remaining balance to an Emblem credit card and send you
the card out.
The card has no annual fee, no monthly service charges, and low late/over limit fees.
You simply pay the card on time, and they will increase your available credit.
They do try to offer this program on legally noncollectable debt as well, but if the debt
is current, this is a great program to get a decent credit card and pay off your debt.
Note: Jefferson Capital is a subsidiary of Compucredit.
