    Birdwatching with the Japanese, haikus on

    Hula Valley sprawls
    From Lebanon to Syria
    Twixt rock and hard place

    Nubian nightjar,
    Mocking bird cloud ancient land
    Europe’s birds relax

    Storks and cranes wade
    Swamp hollers with Euro sound
    Grand Wetlands hotel

    Bosho’s countrymen
    Came all the way to Hula swamps
    Crane watching shinto

    An impressive amount of information in those 4 Haiku. Really gives a feeling for the entire scene. Got pictures from the trip? cheers.

    I didn't take any pics, didn't have my cam with me. Though they would have looked strange, or not at all. We are driving from one of our usual long weekends up north by the Mt. Hermon or Nimrod's Castle when I see crowds of Japanese watching a lake. That was out of this world. Just like they would back in Japan. The area is flat, not identifiably Middle East.

    I'm sure you can join the Japanese tours. One thing I notice about Japanese tourists is that their guides appear to be comedians, because the toruists are laughing a lot.
