Japan: Earth's Enchanted Islands

No I'm not going to watch it; iplayer isn't working again . sob

I'm going to watch it now [I'd forgotten about it so thanks for reminding me!]. Hope it's as good as 'Wild China' which I can watch over and over again. I'd love to go to Japan one day.

I love Japan and the people are wonderful (apart from DS's ex-wife, that is!) We found it such a peaceful, serene place and a mad frenetic place too.

aggie - how wonderful to have visited Japan. I've only fed deer at National Trust places and the safari park! I can see what you mean about the monkeys. I like to see them from afar but I would find them a bit scary close up.

Katy , if you weren't carrying food they kind of ignored us but when I had a biscuit I got an enormous nudge on the hip from one , scared the life outa me . Mostly in Japan it is frowned on to eat in the street, or was when I was there , the gardens round Kyoto were beautiful and that Temple was being renovated , I "bought " a roof tile and wrote my name on it . I was not fond of the monkeys , they snatched food as well and were all over one temple garden , I got frowned on for not showing enough respect to them !

Such an interesting programme. Their cultivation of the land in such interesting patterns and levels was awesome. I'll be watching them all.

Oh really aggie? I loved that they mingled with the people and bowed

It was beautiful , brought back memories , I wasn't that keen on the deer , they followed us for food all the time
