Going up there next week. Must try the nighta.

Who would win - Tenjindaira or Hakkaisan Ropeway.

Tabasco

How many is that supposed to fit, Chriselle?

Mum and Dad.

Keep it going lads! Look forward to your updates, snowdude. And yours pie-eater.

I recently finished up on Facebook, the whole thing just started to creep me out too much and I decided to try and live more in the real world. I know of a few people who have recently done the same.

Just read through this thread. Wow. It's hard to believe people let themselves get that huge.

I have often gone to the movies alone, even if I feel a bit Jerro-no-mates at the time.

I didn't need anyone else to tell me there was an earthquake!

I like swimming myself, pretty good at it too. Or I was anyway, more for a relaxing bit of exercise now.

Looks good. You must be nearly all set now with all that new gear. Minus the long tele of course! Still wondering what to do myself.

All very interesting and I can't understand about the D4 as well. Interested in hearing about the 18-300mm for DX and how that performs.

Looks great. And you sure did time the sakura well there! Thanks.

I mean at both beginner level and also getting really competent level? I have taken up skiing but I always feel boarding looks easier. Please be kind, I'm new to all this!

Just one so far, my first time ever last weekend. I hope to get a few more times though!

Thanks everyone. Good to be here and to have got started. Hope to go again soon. Unfortunately, I can't wear a cap quite like　ジェロ

Ski it is then! Had my first time on Sunday and loved it. Apart from the hazukashii bits.

I went skiing for the first time on Sunday - at last! My friends took me up to Mitsumata in Yuzawa, Niigata and I did my best impression of a new-born giraffe standing for the first time. Stopped the lift more than once after crashing out. I think I did pretty well though in the end and really enjoyed it, can't wait to go again. It was beautiful up there and warm too.

Yes I have the wide and also the 18-200mm which is the one I use mostly. Love the idea of the fisheye but it's a lot of cash just for that, for me anyway.

Looks like it is tomorrow now today.

Keen on photography myself, the D800 looks awesome. I have a D200 along with 3 DX lenses, looking to buy a new camera. Was thinking of what would follow the D300s - D400? - but there isn't much news on that, like you said at the beginning of this. I don't think I can stretch my budget to an 800 + the lenses I would need to really make the most of it. Do you use a dry cabinet for your gear muikabochi?

Love this thread. I believe I am going to Yuzawa tomorrow for my first ski. I am told that's where we're going anyway, I am being taken!

Great great game, I'm addicted. And I haven't been skiing or boarding yet.

They are skiers, so looks like I'm going to be skiing!
