[Still autumn here, but mighty pretty with it]

Beautiful!

[Should they be sacked?]

It is now higher up the news than the economy. I bet some people are "phoning in" somewhere to complain about that!

[Strong Yen // UK pound taking a beating too]

30% prices up - wow that is hard to take.

Do many notebooks have those now? I have never owned one.

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

I wish I hadn't taken a look now!

[Sapporo. Great.]

I tried some ramen here in the UK and it was ok but nothing special. I have heard that it was nothing like the real thing!

 

Is ramen in Japan same as what they do in China?

[Your snow hotel requirements]

A private bathroom is an absolute must.

 

Do most places have them?

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

Intriguing I might take a look!

 

Not sure yet when I will be able to go but I am looking into it.

[So, your planned first time...]

I have no idea.

Who is Peter North by the way?

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

I hope to visit sometime soon yes!

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

Thank you - got it!

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

Hi everyone

 

Quick question - how do I pronounce Happo-one?

 

Is it

 

a) Happo 1 (as in the number)

Happo 'own' (as in bone)

c) Happo 'o ne'

 

Thanks!
