Still, it's a good effort, and technically impressive, at least to a non-geek like me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2207076947655236975.post-16583256593761106862010-09-14T12:56:44.956+09:002010-09-14T12:56:44.956+09:00Mike, this was an interesting take and I apprecia...Mike, this was an interesting take and I appreciate that you posted it...BUT...don't you think that the video focused on a lot of negative and very superficial things, like using a lot of wooden chopsticks, importing bottled water, wasting food (as if the left over fish could simply be shipped to Africa), and having small eyes (never noticed that). Those criticisms fall flat and don't raelly say anything about this very interesting country, in my opinion. More interesting aspects of Japanese culture were discussed, but things like modern horrible architecture, social pressures to conform, childhood teasing, and say the gambling/bar/prostitution scene were passed over. Sorry to be a critic, just seems like it was a good effort that could have been a lot better.Andy "In Japan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04505038501136945817noreply@blogger.com
