Apparently and unfortunately time and calamity has changed the Japanese garden homes lifestyle and mysterious grace and harmony are only haunting the minds of the romantic viewer not realities that we all want to experience and enjoy perfection that has disappeared gone the way of Samurai early modern Japan . I am sadden the losses Native America and the losses of Asia all where happening the same time in History
What is annoying about this type of presenter led documentary is that we see far far too much of the presenter. When I hear 'I'm going on a journey' at the opening of the series I have to brace myself before seeing many many shots of the presenter looking at things, which I want to see. Can we not have this, and just see the object or scene in question? I am not at all interested in seeing the presenter gaping at things or looking in awe. I do not want to see his or her reaction. I do not want a heavily 'curated' experience, I the viewer want to see the place in question, to let TV transport me to that place with as little interference from the so-called 'personality' - who far too dominant.
I'd have no problem with the cat walk.
I work in Construction in which the hazard of falling into a deep hole (swimming pool) is the norm. It was smart to get a good flexible board, so much safer than a stiff board.
In this special episode, Ted travels with a group of scientists to the Grens Gebergte of Suriname. On the way, we see first hand how Wayana Amerindians catch Kumalu in the rapids of the Palemeu river and get a unique view of one of the most remote places in the world. Enjoy this first part of a two part series.
In October of 2015 I had the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime wish of visiting and exploring the Amazon. I arranged a two-day, two-night tour with Amazon Antonio Jungle Tours and myself along with five guys from Denmark traveled by boat from the lodge up the Urubu River and then we hiked on foot for the following two days carrying all our gear, camping primitively and sleeping in hammocks under the tree canopy.... We observed wildlife such as elusive spider monkeys, noisy macaws and huge creepy tarantulas.... Super high humidity and heat kept us in a constant sweat but cool freshwater streams provided much needed relief.... Our guides introduced us to several species of trees and plants with important medicinal properties.... Thanks to our guides and Amazon Antonio Jungle Tours for a amazing experience!
