Reverse city (revisited!)

I had more time to view this this time as I headed straight for it after eating lunch. I convinced my friend to come up here. Each of the pencils has a country's name in Katakana. We could find Austria but not Australia. We couldn't find Japan, either. We're guessing it is in the center, maybe.

 

I then promptly lost my triennial passport so we spent our 40 minute viewing time looking for it. We found it again, but I felt sorry for my friend because he hadn't seen any of the countless artwork in the area. He said not to worry, and we did get to see more art further on the journey.
