Different sides of Japan

I thought this one was a great video to peak behind the scenes of Japan and its tourism. It was funny, unusually presented and diplayed different aspects than what can be normally found in guidebooks. The only negative was the selection of expats being interviewed in this report. It gave the impression that expat women can only earn their living as hostesses in sleazy bars and nothing else. If you are looking for a serious travel report on Japan this is definitely not for you. But if you would like to see the younger, hipper and more unusual side of Japan- you will really enjoy this !

A fine introduction to world cultures

Overall, this is an excellent series. The host has a sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously. The cultural aspects presented are interesting and enlightening. It's a forty- five minute video, so it isn't going to cover everything, but the videos do make a good introduction to different cultures and stimulate questions and discussion. If you are a social studies teacher using the LP videos in the classroom, make sure you preview first. Though most of the videos are fine for middle schoolers, there are a few segments that probably need to be skipped...like the two minute hostess bar segment at the beginning of the one on Japan.
