by the way ganmo i suggest downloading the Next Stop Discovery series from d-addicts...it's a series of small mini-documentaries hosted by various ppl who pick a subway/train line in tokyo and then get off at stations and take the backstreets exploring the amazing restaurants and shops that REAL tokyo has to offer...it's amazingly entertaining.

@triky...Thanks!

I downloaded a couple of segments of Next Stop Discovery off of Grab-It. Was okay but I like Soko-ga-Shiritai much better. My dream job...to travel all over Japan, stay in the best ryokan, meet different people and eat the best food...probably all paid for by the Production Company. What a job!!

check out this new toothbrush

Before I checked the website, I thought it was going to be another one of those wierd Japanese inventions. Looks a bit too large and bulky to handle but if it does the job better than an ordinary toothbrush, I might try it...

If I was given the opportunity to work in a job like that, I would be out the door so fast and hopping on a plane to Japan without a second thought. I've always envied the hosts of the Soko ga Shiritai.

even if i was a production assistant on such a travel show i'd do it....at least for a while....imagine the experiences you'd have.

And the free food!!!

for that fact alone it may be worth it...not even so much only because it's free but it'd be the diversity and the quality of food that'd you experience.

Man, I was chatting with dochira earlier and we both discovered that we both subscribe to the English language magazine Kateigaho about Japan which is published IN Japan but is available internationally....you should think about subscribing...it's a quarterly magazine and it has some amazing articles re: Nihon bunka & Nihon ryori.

Yeah...that's so true. From eating unagi freshly caught on the boat - I saw a segment where the fishermen (and women) would catch, fry and then eat the unagi on the boat - to dining in the best little inns and takeaways...always a different experience.

And I just visited the Kateigaho link...looks really good. I've saved it to my favourites...thanks! :victory:

dayem catching, cleaning, cooking and eating the unagi on the boat! can't get much fresher than that!

Awesome photography, you say? When it's mailed to you, what is the packaging like? Opaque envelop or clear plastic bag?

It's an oversized magazine in a clear plastic packaging...it always arrives in pristine condition. An amazing resource regarding contemporary Japanese culture, art, tradition, and food.

>>groan<<

If it comes in a clear package I dunno how I'll be able to hide it from mom. She's already freaking that I get too many things in the mail. If I subscribe, she'll blow. Which totally sucks, because the mag looks AMAZING.

Maybe you should get a post office box, what Mom don't know won't hurt her, eh? [/list:u]

If it's oversized, wouldn't they mail straight to the door? I wonder if I can get it mailed to my school...

That was my NEXT idea, geez, Wyn-chan, you're always one step ahead of me! [/list:u]

It's a woman's role. :P

I get Photography mags mailed to me all the time at school, but they serve an educational purpose. I'll have to ask about something personal, tho if this mag focuses on culture has Tu-san says, I might be able to swing it.

why the hell would you have to hide a magazine regarding Japanese culture from one of your parents? It's not pornotic?

moroever it's a quarterly mag...it only has four issues per year.

Um, Wyn-chan, unless i'm seriously mistaken, you're an adult. Which means you should be able to subscribe to whatever you want.

BTW how much is it? I may subscribe myself!
