Thanks to Youtube (and DVDs if you can be bothered to spend the money), you can see all these shows again. Wonderful! I recently rediscovered The Lost Islands on Youtube. So many others to mention.

As the full article said, there is more openness in China when it comes to access for journalists at press conferences, and THAT'S saying a lot. No wonder many just can't be bothered with Japan anymore.

I found this article a bit strange. It started off talking about factory farming and animal welfare, and then the rest was about traceability. Frankly, I'm also worried about how animals are treated here. I've seen Japanese farmers on TV proud of their battery hens, and cows and pigs behind…

What's the big deal with being "internationalized"?

I don't know. You tell me. Or better still, can the Japanese tell me, since they're the ones who are always trying to give off this image of being from an international place. All words, but no action. We want skilled people…
