NHK nyuusu

Published Sunday, January 08, 2006 by Mathieu | E-mail this post

I got an eyeTV for Christmas, and I'm making use of it by grabbing the NHK News from SBS, so I can watch it over a smoothie at a more earthly hour of the morning than that which it's broadcast!

It's making me nostalgic for Japan seeing the countryside (covered in record snow), the cities, the 高速道路 kousokudouro highways, the trains, and especially the culture and people. Families taking the 新幹線 shinkansen and rushing home for New Years, and 20 year olds gearing up for 成人式 seijinshiki The Coming of Age day. People taking hot spring baths full of apples surrounded by snow, and shoppers storming department store sales.

These shots are from the Japanese Stock Exchange, the women were dressed traditionally for the opening day. I like the way this woman is waving her finger about (v. top photo), and seriously monitoring the figures on her computer terminal, resplendent in her Kimono and glittering hairpin.

And where is this little old man expecting to cart his sley of snow? The caption reads 'Nowhere to put the snow.'

Oh, it's very NATUKASHI!!
On Every new year, I watch that kind of news ( Women wearing kimono when it's the first working day of the year)!!!
Last year I also wore Kimono when it was the first day.
I think it's the one of the really good JP culture!!
I worry about my family because of the very cold weather. Usualy Wakayama has a warm winter, you know. But my mother said it's the most coldest winter in her life...
Anyway can I see eye TV when I come over??

Sure! I'll show it to you when you're over. I tend to delete the programs after I've watched them, but I've save a couple for you :-)
