Doesn't lose it's impact does it.

About the same here

Have no rich gaijin companys tried to 'swoop in' and buy them out for some mad price tag?

Tell you what, I'm in the market for an aircon. But I walked into the shop at the weekend to be confronted by about 435,434 different models. When I said I wanted a fairly basic on that was fairly cheap, it narrowed it down to only 2,334 models. I gave up frustrated. So can someone tell me a good one to look for, seems I can get a smallish one for around 5 man. Something like that would be the ticket.

T-shirt skiing, nice. Is that above the top pair lift, sand?

Kyoto has some very pretty areas, scattered around a big area, but I sure wouldn't call it generally beautiful. Most beautiful city in the world?!

Friendly -Japan -Korea -UK -US Not so friendly -Germany -Switzerland

They mentioned that on the news last night -- no, can't really store it.

I think and hope it will all calm down asap. But right now at this moment there ain't many people thinking that Japan is a great destination here in the UK where I am. Been here a week now so I think I'm qualified to say what the thinking is of 'mr average'. Quote: The Fukushima thing is a mess and will likely go on for a while, but it is no Chernobyl as it is being made out to be in the western media. But... but... but... westerners in western countries read and consume the western media.

I left Tokyo about a week ago to get out of it all for a short while, got a week left but really looking forward to getting back.

Thanks for the laughs

Shocking stuff. Hope everyone and family/friends are ok.

Those images never seem to lose any of their power.

Sweet. You getting any topups up there?

Newbie here, though I have lurked, suspiciously, for a while. Might be on for this but I won't know until the end of the week. Why not get da train?

Parents took me to Whistler that was my first time. Coming to Japan is a great chance to take it up again being so close but I chose snowboard as the guy before me had a board and I inherited it!

Skied a bit when younger. Since coming here taken up snowboard and no looking back. Just more fun.
