A little off track, but there is an English spoken/subtitled Japanese culture television station called NHK that I end up watching once in a while since some of the shows are very soothing. Not the usual shouty, epileptic fit inducing fast edited programming. Even the news, is real news not 4 people shouting opinions at one another. Lots on Japanese food and culture.

It's one of my favorites too, and for pretty much the same reasons :woot::woot: :thumbsup::thumbsup: :xeyes:.


For others interested in checking it out, you can find it on one of your PBS stations, usually in the AM.
