Wow even back in 1989 Japan was bustling in action, still modern than the western nations

I would love to see MIchael Palin visit Pyongyang / DPRK. I think he could make a really interesting program and, as he always respects the local point of view, I think that the (North) Koreans would probably open up to him. Incidently, before anyone e-mails to tell me, I know that you can only visit the DPRK via the official tourist agency / and with guides. However I really do think that a documentary with MIchael in the DPRK is long overdue (provided he is up for it - obviously !).

Considering this is a BBC clip, the video quality is very poor

Japanese language is composed of around 50 syllables. There are 5 vowels; a, i, u, e, o. And then Ka, ki, ku, ke,ko,sa, si, su,se,so...and so on. Acutally pronaucing Japanese is very easy. But when it comes to grammer and Kanji reading...very complicated...Even Japanese makes mistake reading kanji（漢字） in wrong pronunciation.
