If you’re interested in all things weird with regard to Japan this can be fun to watch. Jonathan Ross presents slices of japanese oddities in his own unique way. Unfortunately the show goes downhill after season 1, which is highly original and fast paced, by including a co presenter and some lame british band touring Japan, both of which have to be introduced in the same way in every episode. Also the fast pace is gone in season 2. Season 3 tries to recapture that a bit but seems to assume no one watched season 1 and therefor regurgitating most of it.
Let’s hope they make a season 4 and get everything right again.

We had a fun day out at Kasteelpark Born. Lots of animals and lots of playthings for the kids and we’re definitely going back there in spring or summer to see what it looks like all green.

Interesting expo at the Industrion in Kerkrade showing the history of robots. It was nice to see some examples up close, like the one from Metropolis or even the one from the Björk video.
