Orange Trousers..

During weekend mornings, my housemate and I would watch a tv show on Virgin 1 Channel called "Ninja Warrior". The original show in Japan is called "Sasuke". It's sort of a game show in Japan (like Takeshi castle) where in contenders would go through 4 obstacle courses. These obstacle courses are very difficult, I'm not sure if there's anyone who had already completed it. At the start of the game, around 100 contestants would try and go through the first obstacle course. The course is so hard that just a handful could complete it and could proceed to the next course. The course gets more difficult as you progress to the next stage. We don't really watch it because we're impressed with the ones who finish the first stage. We're also watching it because some of the contestants are funny and the way go thru the courses are funny.

Anyways, they say that Japanese Firemen are good Ninja Warrior material. Probably because they're used to climbing walls and ropes, they're strong and quick and at the same time agile and flexible. There have been a few who had completed the 1st stage on their first try. And these firemen would wear they're uniforms during the games. They're wearing orange trousers -- reminds of the one that Naruto's wearing.. :)
