Transcript:
You're joining me in a very special city. Let’s start with my preconceptions: I expected Japan’s capital, and home to the world’s largest urban population to be over the top and really in your face, with neon lights and anime at every turn and i certainly wasn’t disappointed. The streets are lined with towering, multi-storey buildings, each filled with mind bending department stores and arcades, offices to some of the world’s biggest brands and restaurants serving the best food you’ll ever taste.
But despite all the apparent madness and chaos, spend a few days in Tokyo and it just makes sense. Here, efficiency is an art form. Japanese attention to detail is legendary, and it runs through everything, from food to public transport and urban planning. And yes, even the toilets.
This trip was an educational and weirdly enlightening experience. I’ve been lucky to visit a lot of amazing places making these videos, but Tokyo is in a league of its own.
So Tokyo, it’s big, it’s busy and it’s brilliant. As ever, let’s start with the airports.
Flying from the UK you’ll come into one of Tokyo’s two major international airports, Haneda or Narita. Of course, you don’t need me to tell you that Tokyo is a really long way away, direct flights from Europe will take a whopping 12 hours for the nine and a half thousand kilometre journey.
So you’ve got Haneda airport which is roughly 13 miles south of the city, and then you’ve got 50 miles east. Fortunately, both are really easy to get to noisy noisy Tokyo. Here’s what you need to know.
From Haneda you have three main options, the airport limousine bus, a taxi or the monorail. The airport limousine takes between 30 and 45 minutes, stopping at most major hotels in the centre of town, with prices increasing for the night service between midnight and 5am.
A taxi should take about half and hour depending on traffic, with prices depending where you’re being dropped off. There’s also a 20% extra charge between 10pm and 5am.
However the quickest option is the airport’s dedicated monorail. It’ll get you into Hamamatsucho station in 13 minutes and from here you can connect to the circular Yamanote metro line to reach other parts of the city.
The metro runs between 9 and 7 on weekdays and then 9 to 5 on weekends and public holidays. That’s Haneda! Here’s what you need to know about Narita.
Narita is a whopping 50 miles east of Tokyo, so all of your transport options are going to take a while. The Airport Limousine bus and taxis runs from Narita but both will take anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours to reach central Tokyo. Instead, take the JR Narita Express. It’ll whisk into town in a little under an hour, and with this being Japan, the trains are on time and super efficient.
A word of warning about getting home; if you’re flight’s on a Sunday, make sure you check the train times because there’s a reduced service. Check your departure time, and then allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport.

Bent Gabrielsen - A Danish Goldsmith
A piece of jewellery must be beautiful. It must be a small piece of art
that brings joy to the wearer. It brings joy to the giver, just as it
brought me joy to create it. - Bent Gabrielsen
BENT GABRIELSEN is a Danish goldsmith, a worthy representative
of Danish Design. This film features his life and work as recounted
by himself during the course of a day. It is a low-key, poetic film,
illustrating his daily life, his working habits, his memories of his
childhood and of the Second World War period, and his views on
contemporary craftsmanship.
BENT GABRIELSEN has won many prizes and has had many exhibitions
around the world, in Japan and elsewhere. For all this
recognition, he is still a very modest man. He lives in beautiful surroundings,
close to a lake where silence and nature are united.
This film was supported by Velux Fonden. Thanks.

Gracefulness and Warmth of Echizen Lacquerware:
Celebrating Craftmanship
If you go back and look at the craft as a craft of design, materials, processes, all of those things are so important to know because if you don't have the knowledge of these, your tools, your palette, the things that you can create something with, you cannot be a good craftsman, says Sohrab Vossoughi, founder and president of Ziba.
Understanding the importance of materials, a component of your craft, helps take an idea into execution. The idea for the flask came from researching finely crafted details in early 20th century and modern day. Older materials were studied to implement for the practicality of the present day. The idea of craft really comes through in [the flask], not only in how the details are executed, but what those details mean and how those communicate with the properties, says Sarah Osborn, senior communication designer at Ziba. When you see it sitting on a shelf it's not only beautiful but it's helping tell a bigger story.
Eastman is one of those companies that actually tries to create a story around their products...making the material come to life, says Sohrab. The companies who are going to really do well are the companies who really think that way, like craftsman, the craft of their profession.

Thomas Broughton on his Life Well Lived
I took their principle of taking a very traditional industry and making it relevant, efficient and modern without compromising on the craft, and applied that to spectacle making
As part of our journey to Re-Define Wealth we are exploring what “A Life Well Lived” means: interviewing artists, entrepreneurs, explorers, and change-makers as they share some of their stories and ask what is Wealth to them: what is their life well lived?
From inside the Cubitts store (and fully functioning workshop) in Kings Cross, Tom Broughton, founder of the London based spectacle makers talks to us about how he turned what began as a teenage love affair with his own pair of spectacles, into a successful business and a brand very much at the forefront of the London makers and craft revival.
He also shares some of his thoughts on success, inspiration and what it means to him to live a life well lived.

Havana | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Havana
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Havana (; Spanish: La Habana [la aˈβana] (listen)) is the capital city, largest city, province, major port, and leading commercial center of Cuba. The city has a population of 2.1 million inhabitants, and it spans a total of 781.58 km2 (301.77 sq mi) – making it the largest city by area, the most populous city, and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the Caribbean region.The city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the Americas, becoming a stopping point for treasure-laden Spanish galleons returning to Spain. King Philip II of Spain granted Havana the title of City in 1592. Walls as well as forts were built to protect the old city. The sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in Havana's harbor in 1898 was the immediate cause of the Spanish–American War.The city is the center of the Cuban government, and home to various ministries, headquarters of businesses and over 90 diplomatic offices. The current mayor is Marta Hernández of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC). In 2009, the city/province had the third highest income in the country.Contemporary Havana can essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado and the newer suburban districts. The city extends mostly westward and southward from the bay, which is entered through a narrow inlet and which divides into three main harbors: Mari melena, Guanabacoa and Antares. The sluggish Almendares River traverses the city from south to north, entering the Straits of Florida a few miles west of the bay.The city attracts over a million tourists annually; the Official Census for Havana reports that in 2010 the city was visited by 1,176,627 international tourists, a 20% increase from 2005. Old Havana was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The city is also noted for its history, culture, architecture and monuments. As typical of Cuba, Havana experiences a tropical climate.In May 2015, Havana was selected as one of the so-called New7Wonders Cities together with Beirut, Doha, Durban, Kuala Lumpur, La Paz, and Vigan.
