Going to Tokyo? Might be worth a viewing!

I think I have posted it before, but it may have been as part of a reply, but as I see more folks planning a visit - thought worth doing again.

NHK is the Japanese state broadcaster, and they broadcast in the UK via sky and virgin platforms. Look in the News section of the program guides.

One show it has am hooked to is called "Tokyo 2020" which is a show for people planning to come to the city for the Olympics that year. It covers all sorts of things the visitors may want to know about, some episodes have covered the underground, culture but often is about those hidden places to see (and how to get to them) in and around the city.

It has a quite old fashioned way of reporting which I find quite sweet, and some of the presenters of the stories can be ... interesting characters to say the least, but I find it essential viewing.

You can even watch their shows online.

As well as the show i named, they have shows about culture there in general, train journeys etc - well worth a look and recording each week.

Chris is a great guy but most of the other / guest presenters are... interesting choices, which makes it all part of the fun!

I will try and keep this not icky !

So if you sit dow and do you business, do you use paper at all, or let the wash do the lot?

How does it clean all the area, the jet look pretty focuses - so do you shift around in the seat a bit or does it just clean what is needed ?

Finally, do they dry the area too?
