Example 1: Ayako Imoto visits the Ethiopian National Museum and finds fossils of the Ardipithecus, the forefathers of the human race. Here Imoto learns about human evolution. Imoto heads off to pray at the Mariam Korkor church, set on top of a 200 meter high cliff. To cap off her Ethiopian adventure, Imoto becomes an apprentice to a local family and attempts to tame wild hyenas by feeding them meat using her own mouth.
Example 2: Daisuke Miyagawa, who has participated in countless festivals throughout the world, will travel to Thailand for the eel festival and the slippery bamboo pole festival.
