  1. Tubs, if I end up paying more than 10 bucks for all the public transport money added up in that day.... that`s expensive
  2. Even from German standards.... They are so capitalist their idea is reward the employers so there will be more employment ... certainly a convincing argument and it works in Australia ... but the Germans created 400 Euro jobs so that employers can avoid getting full time staff. Most have to work 2 of them jobs .... Shit wages. Germans consider themselves lucky if they are getting paid 1000 Yen p/h. Japanese working holiday makers are blown out how well us Aussies get paid on the low skill employment.
  3. Roos need to be marinated ... A lot of meat we eat gets covered with sauce anyways, we probably just eat them as stomach fillers .... Dunga`s pretty spot on about the `feel of the meat` I reckon
  4. I wouldn`t worry about plastic ... It doesn`t dissolve and it is a recoverable resorce. Look at it this way, a beach covered with plastic is a beach covered with gold You see garbage or a society how they deal with that..., kind of tells you what/who (people) you are dealing with.... not only tourists but the locals al well.
  5. Linguistic changes ... my ass they speak a different tongue even if you are Japanese it is more than throwing one off. Sadly, a lot of the younger generation (of the last 40 years) felt ashamed of their heritage, and much of the old tongue and proverbs are getting lost (or extinct) Not many Japanese realize that within Japan, language and culture has been lost on a daily basis .... Hokkaido natives, the first to go, and the northern Japanese have always been treated with the crap end of the stick.
  6. Squirrels ...especially in the fall eating all the acorns. The brain is like boiled egg york
  7. ACTUALLY, This is something we can all make ( snowshoes) and Japanese living in the snowcountry used to make them, Hell of a lot easier than making snowboards by stripplanking
  8. All shoes are torure device , some more than others. Ever tried ice skating on the old Dutch wooden shoes (or clogs ? are they called?) with blades ...
  9. Maybe we just write them carbonmonoxide and dioxide. ... Mitch, I really think WE as an ANIMAL species is a failure. I don`t know why people object to the idea that a monkey wearing clothes is still a monkey....
  10. It is going off topic but it is a major issue that technology (that was suppose to make our life better ....whatever that is ) is going into military (big dollars = sustainable economics) and law enforcement. PeepingTom cameras all around. Everyone checking everyone around (even there is a song about it singing thatz cool...) , but won`t give a toss if you aren`t a millionair or a moneyperson. Hey, GN, have you noticed the change in Australia, and the attitude of average Aussies coming back from Japan? I certainly had a shock after 5 years of Germany. THE worst is Sydney. Constant ripp-offs.
  11. Actually, plants take up CO2 during the day and O2 during night. (but thats leaves we are talking about. The roots actually take up O2 ) .....wow ... did you know that there is only one electron difference between Lead and Gold. I don`t think anyone would confuse CO and CO2 .... maybe you have been sucking too much on NO lol......
  12. Yeah, Thaz expensive. Y150 for 6 train station stops to Shibuya. The same company`s bus would be Y240 to Meguro
  13. Pardon me spell error. Dont really give atoss over the internert. Goodonya JA... Add to that. Yeah, I used to hear BS from people living in a permaculture community + Being so proud about keeping their property in order... meaning excessive lawn mowing. What a waste of fossil fuel and uncontrolled fumes .... BAH !
  14. True... but not defence reseachers. Applied Physicists !
  15. Well if ski touring is your shit, I wouldn`t worry about splits. Can`t really keep up with skis anyway and skiers and boarders look at the terrain differently
  16. Yeah, probably have to do that for a while before getting a place in Asahikawa ... or till my oldies kick the bucket
  17. You and snowdude banter yeah, what does shit me is the exsessive energy consumption on stuff we don`t need, or we can save. What really go me when I was in Arizona, is people use cloths driers on sunny dry desert weather days ... their excuse ... cloths get sandy. WTF . AS for Australia, drying cloths on a line is unsightly, and drives the neighborhood realestate price down
  18. Thanks again. I will get on to it. I do have interpreting background on the diplomatic/social/technical with government and company level. Lot easier than dealing with a smal companey boss who has hangup with paying up.
  19. Do you think that will change even when the news go on the internet? I don`t think people outside Oz would even inderstand and be interested in what goes downunder. THe whole idea of the internet was free infomation accessable to all - again ideology but a good one to remember
  20. I am all ears GN, I`m listening.... Sounds better than teaching English
  21. Thanks GN ... But I do not intend to be slave driven by a Japa Boss. Just because I look Asian and speak old school Japanese doesn`t mean I play the current employer=ee employment relation games. I wil call my own shots. After all, I don` need a sponsor for my visa. I get a resident visa without any employment restrictions
  22. Are you kidding Tubs ? Public transport is so overpriced .
