  • Here is a bit of footage that I took from Gero, Japan.In Japanese onomatopoeia, "Gero Gero or Kero Kero" is the sound that frogs make. Although the Kanji (Chinese Characters) for Gero, located in the prefecture of Gifu do not mean frog, the name sounds like it and you can find frog statues and frog merchandise all around the town.
    This village is a National Heritage monument and has an interesting story behind it. Watch the video to find out more if you are interested.
    Thanks for watching.

    Thanks for braving the bees to film such a picturesque spot! It's wild to think how widespread thatching once was.

    Believe it or not but those grass type roofs are still used today in The Netherlands. They are very expensive and need much more maintenance than normal roofs. Great video Luke I love these :)

    A nice long weekend and a free Monday Children's day! Excellent video Luke. Always love to see more of Japan and Japanese culture. Curious how thatch roof are put on houses the world over. In wet climates they need to be changed every 15 or so years. Not sure how it would be in the Japanese climate there.
    You usually get a ton of spiders in thatch roofed buildings just because the roofs are great places for spiders to spawn. Not a place for an arachnophobic that's for sure.

    Do all that you can (fundraising or whatever) because Japan is awesome! I went there after 3 years of Japanese, in my grade 11 year, and we got to tour Oosaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima (and Miyajima). Every shrine and temple is filled with charm; it's peaceful, beautiful and the cities are lively and filled with attractions. Totally worth going, and good luck~.

    Japan is such an amazing country, and I hope I can get the chance to go over there in the near future.
    Btw, it´s great hearing you talking a bit of Japanese :)
    Though I never saw the person you were talking to, even when you pan the camera around quickly. Invisible perhaps? :D hehe

  • @THOMASSU63
    @THOMASSU63 11 лет назад

    I hope the "bees" weren't the giant japanese yellow hornets I saw on a nature film. These were huge and extremely aggressive, especially if you came too close to their nest.
    I used to rent a house that was infested with wasps. Every morning in the summer going in to the kitchen you had to watch were you put your foot, because of dead or dying wasps. You had to move through a cloud of wasps to get outside if the door had been left ajar, because their entrance was blocked by the door.
