we've brought it down to a 10 day stay in Tokyo then onwards to hakuba to try our luck.

Maybe somewhere that gets a fair

We're still going through with our plans, since we've committed enough to warrant a 6 month "just wing-it" attitude. to the extent one of my mates has quit his job. I've done a f
