I got halfway through and then a bunch of shit happened so I had to stop watching it and then I was off for four days. I will finish the second half tonight.

The "Flower Stationmaster" basically seems like a badass.

Also, the snowplow train footage was pretty cool. Didn't know there was such a thing.

Looking forward to the next one!

He's actually a college professor at a nearby university, was fluent in Japanese and Korean with passable English, his son spoke native Japanese and Korean and quite good English and French, and his wife ran a restaurant and was setting up the B&B place.

All in all they seemed like a nice family of people who work hard.

And I need to stop procrastinating and work on the last video.

The final video is complete.

I also made a trailer for those of you who don't know what it's all about.

Total length of all four videos: one hour and 18 minutes. Yikes. That's much longer than I expected when I first started this project.
