Would like to think so, anyway.

I not only break them.....I DESTROY them!! And then turn all their little bitty bits into this...
Is that for real, Chriselle? Looks pretty cool, actually.
(Do cheap watches have not-as-cool-looking gears in them?)
But:
I go through watches like crazy.....I've had a several Rolexes, a couple Tag Heuers, three Breitling Navitimers, a bunch of Bulovas and many other assorted vintage pieces as well....
BLING BLING!!
Chris on his way down to the shop to drop 10 large on his new watch
Watch out for the chest hairs getting caught in the chain.
Can't be a good experience.

That didn't take long!
Over to you, MagSeven.

I've stayed at Pension Currants, near Marunuma Kogen: http://www.snowjapan...ension-currants
It was nice.
Yeah, I saw that place and mailed them to ask about prices and stuff, but they didn't get back to me. How was the place Oyaji? Was it about 7000 yen per night?
It was a few years ago so I don't remember exactly. Their SJ page says 8,000 for adults, which seems about what I recall.
Cozy, very friendly owners. As I recall, they bake their own bread.

Ok, where's this?

Not a fan of any watches at the moment...if I wasn't wearing a blardy watch I might not have broken my arm as the break is exactly following the line my watch took. /tanty
Actually
I like lots of clever applications in a watch, but if one of them was phone then no.
Ouch! I hope it is all better in time for next season.

ステレオタイプ?
Or 既成概念, but that seems to be more along the lines of generalized preconceived notion.
If you want the English nuances (racial, ethnic etc.), then the katakana version seems to be used.
(Or so Mr. Google sez.)

Mt Granview and Mold should perhaps tie-up somehow. Do some exchanges maybe. There's got to be some 'synergies' there.
Like an Epic Pass, but more epic-er.

Not sure if that makes sense. Not clear to me that skiing skills transfer very well to snowboarding.
If the kid is interested in boarding, why not just start with boarding lessons?
Unless the kid is also interested in skiing, of course.

I also live next to the 246 so yeah, literally just up the road!
I've never done it by car but it's 3 train stations away, equivalent to about a 45-minute walk or 15 minutes on the bmx! 
15 minutes with or without training wheels?
Strap a board on the back and get on out there!
SKI, who, what or where's Mold??UK version of Paradise Alley.

Well now you tell me.
-
I had no idea, Mick!
I'm kind of surprised that you were seriously thinking of going out to Sayama, but had never tried out the much-closer-to-you Snova.
(Though to be fair, as I recall, you never actually made it to Sayama.
) -
Yeah those things are annoying.
Thankfully, I haven't seen any in Japan.
I've seen them in Japan, at a drugstore.
Annoying, indeed.

So how did it go, fukdane? Sounded like a grueling schedule. Did you come through in one piece?
-
I predict that with all the summer weather we've been having, winter is less than 6 months away.

My mother's got one similar, but without the front-end loader attachment. Kid enjoys taking it out for a spin when visiting Grandma. (Actually, I do too.)
-
....at Mt Granview perhaps?
Ha ha, was thinking Tochigi or Fukushima, but good point, maybe I'm not thinking big enough. Though doubt I'd be able to afford Mt G. prices.

Combinations of wood and black slate are pretty common at onsens and onsen-inspired home bathrooms.
Idly pondering the idea of slapping some black slate on the plastic tub, and laying some wooden sunoko on the floor.
Could be a fun DIY project some day.
Or maybe save it for that cabin in the mountains with onsen water hook-up that I fantasize about building...

It looks like a big, if wide-angle lens exaggerated, slate-lined wet room with a bath in the middle. Lovely big window. If the shower is the thing on the wall with the dials by the bath, maybe they didn't use it for very long because the glass would have steamed up. Showers are like humidity machines. The bath on its own shouldn't steam up the windows.
So they got into the bath without getting clean first? Eww, if true. Actually, their hair looks dry, so probably is true.
But to be fair it's a publicity shot, so not necessarily representative of reality.
Looks a pain if you have to clean it, but its in a hotel so that doesn't matter. It'll take some heating too.Yeah, I was wondering if there is a water reheater attached. Not clear from the picture.
If you've got a lot of space and a big budget, having the shower semi-partitioned off with ventilation would be a better design. fwiw, square black slate tiles are a cheap material, so this look could be copied on a smaller scale for not very much money, even compared to typical unit baths which do not come cheap.The black slate tiles do look nice. Even better if they can be acquired cheaply. Idea for when it comes time for renovation, perhaps?
-
Is that a Western-style bath, or Japanese?

The indoor pipe looks almost fun! Any idea on the exact size/dimensions? I'd guess it's long enough for 4 hits max, right?
60 meters long, 2.5 meters high. Yeah, about 4 hits.
