kenleewrites in 日本

Ever thought of coming to Japan as an English teacher? You might just want to watch this mini series to prepare yourself for the perils that lie ahead. ^^.

What I found amazing about the show is that you get to see Nagoya too. The fact that they got the support of the local film commission and police department to shoot outdoors is pretty impressive. To do any video outdoors in Tokyo would require great stealth and guerrilla tactics.

Th story centers around teachers at a local English school BeYes – why does it sound like BS… You might just recognize a few faces in the show. There’s Jonathan Sherr from the movie My Darling is a Foreigner. And for some reason, if you’ve been watching trainvision (screens in certain trains that bombard you with advertisements after advertisements), the Roberto is advertising Samsung’s Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab for Docomo.

Episodes aren’t too long. They come in under 10 minute bite-sized pieces. Check out other episodes in the series at their YouTube channel.

First we had shaolin soccer the movie. Then there was shaolin soccer the tv series. Not wanting to miss out on the shaolin frenzy, Japan came out with 2 shaolin movies of her own. Saw these 2 dvds for rental at the local Tsutaya store.

Shaolin young lady (少林少女), syourinsyoujyo.

and shaolin old lady (少林老女), syourinbaba.

Disregarding the fact that shaolin temple is historically a guys-only monastery, which one would you be more inclined to watch?
