I agree with this, surfing the web is addictive, more than a cup of coffee. Yes I was serious about bringing my notebook when I go camping :-P (Here is the place we had planeded to go. But the camping trip was cancelled due to rain.) Every morning I check my e-mail and surf the Internet during breakfast, this morning I found this "Train man will become a TV drama". Well just a few days ago, I told you that the film would come debut soon. In the TV drama, Misaki Ito will play Hermes and Atsushi Ito will be the train man. Umm I am full, no more thank you. I've heard enough about the trainman.
Contrary to my web addiction, I hardly every watch TV, maybe one hour a week or less. The last show I watched was the Silk Road-3. This Sunday number 4 comes on, I will check it our of course. Sometimes while doing the step machine at the gym, I'll watch Trivia no Izumi or Debuya. If I do not forget it, I'll check out the world heritage on TBS on Sunday nights. "Bi no kyojintachi" (Giants of art) is an art TV show. They focus on one painting, and then they introduce the painter, their background, and an episode with movies, interviews and a short play. For example March 26th was In the Salon of the Rue des Moulins by Lautrec. They already made one about At the Moulin Rouge. They made two programs about Norman Rockwell's The Problem We All Live With. It was very nice, so nice in fact that I was quite impressed.
Like iron chef or Trivia no izumi, some interesting shows are being sold to foreign countries. Then I found this documentary program about a Canadian girl which comes on twice or so a year or so as a special program on FUJI TV. It is in a list of program being sold by Fuji TV. She is Ashley Hegi, who has the sickness Progelia, it is a genetic disorder, which accelerates the aging process. When her story first aired in Japan in a science documentary program, I heard that FUJI TV was flooded with responses from the public. She was just 11years old at that time, but she seemed to accept her destiny and loved her life very much. Many people were impressed with Ashley's words. Last winter, the latest show was aired, she's now 13 years old. Many Japanese are looking forward to seeing her wonderful heart and smile on TV again.
Bi No KyojinTachi
Do you like & why this TV show. I used to be glued to it because of the narrators voice & overall special atmosphere.
Regards,
Andre

Hi Mari,
I saw Debuya a couple of times when I was in Japan last year and really loved it. Do you know if it is available on DVD? I really want to see more episodes.
PS Great website :)
