  2. Quote: Originally posted by big-will: Shiga is a prefecture, Shiga Kogen is the area in Nagano you are meaning. I think we got the meaning! I think you are teasing ttuchin, Big-will. People always tend to make words shorter so sometimes "Shiga" indicates Shiga-Kogen. Quote: Too lazy to find accomodation for a paying customer Hum... Even for paying customers?
  3. It was very mistery for me how Santa Clause visits each house when I was a kid. Because the house I was raised up in had a chimney!! LOL Every year I tried to meet Santa to ask how he could get in my house through that tiny chimney while all the Santa pictures looked like he was very giant. But small kids can never be awaken so late, so everytime when I noticed I fell asleep, it was at the next morning when I found a red boot full of presents. Do you tell kids that Santa Clause lives somewhere or take their fantasy out?

  5. Daver, I mean ghost house located in some amusement parks. Never meant real ones But it might be scarier.
  6. Hi StudyAbroad Maybe you need to know what ski slopes are closer to you first and how to get there. Maybe some around Echigo-Yuzawa work for your 1 day trip. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/travel/index.html If you need to rent your gears, I would say you had better rent some at the ski slope you visit. Actually it may be cheaper for you to rent them in Tokyo but what if they don't fit when you wear them at the date even if they fit when you try them at the rental shop in Tokyo? - This actually happens a lot. While you rent everything at a rental shop around the ski slope, you c
  7. For me, it's one in which some couples of model articial teeth were flying around when I was 9 or 10 years old. What's yours?
  8. Zaru = basket. Baskets can pass liquor without limit, right? So when we call some heavy drinkers without limit, we call them "Zaru" in Japanese. This is a slang, not for formal occasions. If you found some parties drinking some alcohol around cherry blossom when they are in bloom, maybe you can get some if you talked to them "Watashi wa zaru desu" Remember, Saru = monkey. Just one letter difference in English alphabet but it means a lot different.

  10. I also hear a lot often families live there at the top, kids need to ski down for school in the morning and get on a lift when they come back home. In some meanings I think it's very comfortable because no other houses around, but at the same time it might feel very isolated. I think I can stay with that isolated part, but if you can't , maybe it's a tortune? No idea.
  11. Maybe you can say "mou ii desuka?" to them. If it's busy lunch time, I think usually people don't occupy a table only with half full glasses cokes for 1 hour, do they? Also, I would get in a restaurant earlier than others do to avoid crowds, redvaseline. Especially when I have small kids with me coz they need much time only for small lunch - 1 hour or so. Avoid crowds, that's the key!
  12. I threw them out some years back and now I have this instead.
  13. Veronica, when something new shows up, I really don't get in rush to get it because there's usually some problems which are not found yet. I often keep observing how it goes and when people say it's okay, it's time for a careful oyaji to get it Yeah, Firefox could have many add-ons e.g. screen grab. You can extend it.
  14. Welcome! Didn't know there's so many Hamilton-s in the world. I hope I won't misunderstand the Hamilton when some people talk about "a" Hamilton. By the way, why the abbreviation for Robert is "Bob" instead of "Rob" or something ? Just curious.

  16. big-will, 魑魅魍魎= pronounced as "chi mi mou ryo" which would be translated into "evil spirits". This is not a daily use word. Maybe you can say something like "I felt chimimoryo when I got outside of my room after midnight." If you would like to know some daily use words, how about 醤油 麒麟<-- If you were a heavy beer drinker, you must know this

  19. Never mind (When I don't understand what the other says. )
  20. good gallon, Lots of one way streets in Matsumoto! You'd better check it in advance. Drive safe
  21. Sometimes descriptions are editted by editors. When I had an interview over the phone from a newspaper company about running an accom which accepts foreign customers, I told them that.... "Sometimes people don't understand rates system which is per person as is often the case in accom in Japan." But when I got the paper sent, I was surprised to find the description which said "Gamera COMPLAINS that foreign people don't understand........... " with my real name and accom name which might have given me damages. That was very embarrased ( not sure if this were a correct word
