It’s no secret that I love Japan. There is not a single place on this earth that I have fantasized about visiting more than Japan. In fact, I probably think about Japan just as much (if not more) than I think about fishing on a daily basis. Even when I’m sleeping, I dream about Japan. I cannot escape it, and there is only one way for me to deal with this obsession- go there.
But since I cannot go to Japan, I read about her culture, I watch shows about her cities and streams. All the while I’m in complete envy. A great example of this was when I recently watched Satoyama: Japan’s Secret Watergarden. I can’t help but share the awesome wonder of such a place. I found all the videos on youtube, and even created a playlist so you can watch them with ease.
I’ve embedded the first video, but if you find it as intriguing as I have you’ll definitely want to watch the rest.
I’ve only been once, the last time i went Australia, the people are very very friendly and the little bit i saw of it was very clean and i wish i had had a longer stay to see a bit more. (Just a couple of different Hotels and a market!)
I’d love to spend some time in that area. Eating the food and enjoying the environment.
Why can’t you visit? You should visit. Japan is wacky.
Unfortunately right now I dont have the time or the money. But I have plans to. I really wish I could stay for an extended period, a few months, you can’t really get to know a place in a week or two.
Welcome to visit any time. I am sure, between me and Adam, we could entertain you full enough.
You might regret that invitation one day. :D
Should the opportunity arrise, you will hear from me.. Knocking on your door..
