Where should i go that speaks reasonable english? that i can get xrays done

Id be keen for a slide in the hakuba area I arrive on the 30th

On a random note I just got the waxing kit out especially for onsens:) I figured it would be polite not to walk around with a hairy crack

This is a bit of a life story but probably relevant or maybe even helpful:P I started water skiing when I was 3 years old. My parents took me every weekend with a few friends(of theirs) up until this day, their friends also had children but there was only me and another girl a year older than me who started this young out of about 15-20 kids i think the youngest now is about 12.

3 months isnt too bad look on the bright side you have a great conversation starter and a good story to go with:P I had a cast for almost a year that went up to my shoulder:( bad times

I wouldn't bother arguing fang their helmets are blocking their ability to think rationally! but you did just give me a great idea for my case study for uni(psych/law majors) Does wearing a helmet lessen the amount of perceived risk? increasing your chance of participating in dangerous behavior and in turn injury I know the recent studies done by the Canadian ski assoc showed that a greater number of helmet wearers vs non helmet wearers died in skiing/snowboarding related incidents but they didn't mention what type of accidents nor where abouts i.e backcountry/park etc and other impo

Japan gets some of the best powder on the planet and you'd want to waste it by spending time in a park!!? Especially if you're only here for a short holiday...I really just don't get it. don't get me wrong for pow days ill be out there for

Then again if you aint crashing you aint pushing yourself. Thing is it doesn't matter how good you are; a lapse of concentration, an idiot boarder/skier wiping you out; you cant control an accident once it

I use contacts:) I would try to avoid the optomotrist as much as possible once you know your prescription they generally overcharge alot for goods(especially contact lenses) and go straight to the companys that make the goggles and snow/ski retailers. Search for prescription ski goggles youll get plenty of hits You can get custom made lenses to fit into most goggle frames If your prescription is really high then you will have to get opitcal adaptors(these clip in behind your goggles) you can also get goggles specially made for the adaptors to fit however.
