๐ CO2 Journeys: Eco-conscious Travel Across Japan | NHK WORLD-JAPAN On Demand
by JamesKeeping track of CO2 emissions can give travelers a new perspective. Can a 1,250km journey from Kyoto Prefecture to Shiretoko in Hokkaido Prefecture be done in just two days, with emissions limited to just 100kg? If our travelers make their goal, they'll be rewarded with a nature experience in a Natural World Heritage site. But if they exceed the set CO2 limit at any point during their journey, they'll be sent home immediately. Two students with very different views on the environment use various means of transport to make their way to their goal, facing unexpected obstacles and problems along the way. A 21st-century travel show that grapples with the global problem of CO2!
Really enjoyed this travel show where the participants had to take their CO2 emissions into consideration when traveling. -
by JamesThis post by Travis about his first time abroad in Japan 20 years ago really resonates with me. It reminds me so much of mine 16 years ago I thought I'd share a few photos from my Panasonic DMC-FX01.
Life along the Ikegami-line in Tokyo was fun Tokyo Tower Asakusa shopping arcade, I think. The ramen stand where I had my first bowl of ramen in Kurume, Fukuoka -
Along the tracks of the Odakyu line.ย -
Good morning Yokohama

by JamesMy favorite hours of day are the ones that only exist in Japan. Also the implications that you can just extend a day is great. โWorking? Boss, itโs Saturday 68:00. Why would I be working on a _Saturday_?!โ.
