Streaming Japan.

Streaming Japan. Taka Yamada's Brovision.com is a beautiful and voluminious personal video diary of Japanese life and culture. Talk with a geisha, climb to the top of Mt. Fuji, or float a paper lantern down the river. Alternately, you can check out Video-link Japan, watch some television... or ignore all that and share your favorite J-links instead.

Yurikamome - Monorail. It's automated so you can be a total trainspotter and sit in the front where the (emergency) driver would be. Going over the Tokyo Rainbow Bridge, it's one of the cooler trainrides (at least in urban settings) in the world AFAIK. Nice site. Whoever coined the term "Gross National Cool" wrt Japan was one perispacious individual.

wonderful post insomnia_lj!! This is definitely the internet at its best. What a fantastic way for a city, or a state to expose potential visitors to the best each has to offer. (Website designers, take note.)

Well, people around here did want me to make a non-hurricane, non-Iraq, non-politics post for a change. That said, twenty minutes after I made this post, I read this email by Judith Miller's boss and started twitching. Think peaceful thoughts... Kittens! Kittens! Japanese kittens!
