We expect in depth reports ippy. None of this headlines only approach, ok?

Damn, great photos muika

What's the reasoning behind that?

Some people may not notice, but Mt Granview is one of the resorts in this weeks Giveaway

Don't you just hate that.
I have some Japanese friends who know me well and know that I don't like that stuff but still persist with that when we go out. I really gets annoying. And, I'm disappointed in them every time.
In almost all other respects, they are fairly intelligent and bright. I can't work it out.

The Legendary Mt Granview tops yet another list!
I don't think there was any music at Chateau Shiozawa.

Yes, crowds were an issue.

Oh yes, Cheddar enjoying the top bit

Went over the hill to muikabochi country yesterday and spent half a day at Chateax Shiozawa with a few friends.
I have posted a review here, so I won't repeat:

That clear up was unexpected.
We want more snow now!!
-
It is in lots of places, down here too.
Don't let the people selling let you believe otherwise!
-
Is there ever a time of day when the views looking south are clear?
Always seems to be hazy and I remember you mentioning that too muika.
-
2 in a day!
Jealous, I had a real boring one mostly looking out the window.

Is there an English version of that.
I had a look and it was a nightmare to try and get around. Or that's what I thought in the 5 minutes I had a go.

My friend got the Best of Keane cd and I put it on my computer.
They may not be particularly exciting or gnarly but have done a lot of really good pop songs.
I really like the second CD of 'b-sides' as well.

Lee as well.

Nelson Mandela was often described as the "world's elder statesman", a father figure tackling global problems. His moral authority made him, in some people's eyes, a successor to Gandhi. Who might play a similar role now?
Lockerbie, Burundi, DR Congo, Lesotho, Indonesia, Israel-Palestine, Kashmir, Stephen Lawrence murder, HIV awareness and World Cup football.
The list of subjects addressed in some way by Nelson Mandela is long and varied.
In some disputes, like Burundi's long-running conflict, he was a mediator. On other intractable issues, like the stigma of HIV, he was the campaigner and bereaved father who tried to address prejudice.
Not all his contributions were successful or universally welcomed. He opposed intervention in Kosovo in 1999 and often strongly criticised US foreign policy, while his warm relations with Colonel Gaddafi and President Suharto raised eyebrows. Many thought he spoke out too late about the HIV crisis.
But even his critics would concede that he became a figure with unequalled status on the global stage.
"It seems to me that uniquely he negotiated his transformation from prisoner of conscience and iconic human rights leader to practical political leader who became in every single way the father of modern South Africa and then transformed again into elder statesman," says Simon Marks, global affairs correspondent at Feature Story News based in Washington.
He had unquestioned legitimacy, someone that a very broad array of people looked up to, including pop singers and supermodels, says Marks.
Easy... Bono!

None here in Tokamachi either, I'm afraid.

Driving at LESS THAN 20KMH! on quiet open but narrow and windy country roads - but with kms of visibility and no-one else around - and not pulling over to let an aggitated me overtake.
Blood boil time.
I can't fathom why anyone would want to drive at 10-15kmh.
It's just silly.

Yeah WTF is it with that thing in souvenis shops.... in Niigata?
