The sound of the harrowing argument rang hrough the wood like tofu splashing on the carpet.

From all this generous advice, I've booked 4wd Rav4. And I am now doing some snow driving training on Sega Rally 2.

Tickets are very expensive now. Yen strong, HKD rubbish because of yankee dollar.

Yep that is what we are doing this year. May see more of Hokkaido than planned with Mr Snowhunter driving. WE ALL KNOW WHAT MEAN ARE LIKE WHEN THEY GET LOST!!! Get some snow driving tips. Lookup thread.

Just use the GPS. Get the female to program it so she can shut the **** up for the whole journey.

moving onto 12 days of Christmas. O dear god.

The Rum Diary Two hours of Hemingway meets The Lady in Red. Comedy? no, drama? no, action? no. Make of it as you like it, this film is confused and lets you down with the ending. Hunter S Thompson's novel may have been funny sticked here.

Yes. It was quite good. They kept the special effects down to the level of the original so no major update there. But this movie is in the "less is more" vein. Fine acting, plus a hilarious joke at the beginning. Go see it.

not really cheese, but fried rotten tofu is ace.

Indeed. My kid uses it to go to Youtube and conjures up the 7 times table for his viewing pleasure at breakfast.

I still can't get hold of an I4S, they're just too much in demand.

Not really sure why you'd need siri to remind you of your mum's birthday.

More like every 5 - 10 minutes, which doesn't sound alot but is when you're freezing your nuts off!! more like forever when they're full. Stay near the car park. No relying on shuttles there.

I would suggest hiring a car and take Hokkaido at your own leisurreely pace. No timetables to keep to, no destinations defined. Just go at it at your own pace anywhere you like.

Max, Wow!!. Just looked at the photos. What a remarkable transformation. It's been many years, but Niseko does hold a charm. I want to go see the new developments now.

Plus they have larger sized unifoms for larger babes. Unlike those who insist on wearing small sizes.

BA are OK. THey warn people when they'll strike.

Lots to eat a Odori as well. Nice place.

Sad. But thanks for that Max.

Not convinced. I'll wait for the I5. The 5 would probably have ESP and sense who you're thinking of calling.

Max, what is happening to the J-First site?

it's magnificent in the evenings. Huddle in the pubs under the tower and then hit the sculptures after 9.

The good part is keeping aussies in aus.

Great photos.

Sad. Lots of good memories. Making way for something much more snazzy. RIP J-First. You will be sorely missed.
