gamera

Just living in da snow. Jealous? for removing snow?? LOL

Snowing now here in Hakuba, dont worry

Danz, I recommend Chuo coz much easier for people to find correct route after taking your exit at the closest I.C. ( Toyoshina in this case ). Even for me, it was kind of complicated to find the correct route when i took an exit at Kosyoku and Nagano I.C.that probably people have to take their exit via Kan-etsu Exp. way. One point i have to tell when you drive Chuo Exp way. Pay attention when you take your direction to NaGANO Exp.way at Okaya JCT. Signboard there says NaGOYA and NaGANO!!! Perhaps pretty easy to mix for English speaking people. If you learn Kanji for Nagano and Na

Amanda High school girl navy blue??? LOL I hope you don't wear loose socks, don't make up like a ganguro yamamba gals! I will wear a triple color - white, yellow and dark navy blue. Don't know that would become an old fart

I think there are some services available a day between Goryu and 47. Not so many. Humm....If you walked from Goryu to 47, maybe it would take more than an hour? - even from Iimori side. And if you wore a pair of ski boots then, it would hurt!

Humm... snow this time teases me a lot. I have removed snow for 3 days. 1st day - by snowblower all the side of the house 2nd day - climing a part of roof that is calmer than other roof to drop snow and again snowblower work. 3rd day - snowblower work... While i remove snow by snowblower, another snow drops from the roof, then i have to remove it again... anyone wanna help me?????

Garlic toast, cream cheese and coffee.

I mostly go alone and sometimes try to talk. Young boys and girls are usually super genki to reply, old farts like me sometimes reply breathing quick saying " tired, sore muscle!" Sometimes i am talked to like " Eigo hanashi masuka?" . Yes, there's sometimes people play dumb.

Humm.... perhaps helmets protect people when they hit their heads, so we should wear one. But I have a problem!!!!!! My head is really big, 63cm around!!!!! So I have always had a hard time to find a cap or a hat in shops in Japan since I was a kid. When I was a high school student, there were not any caps that fitted my head. The only available one were 61cm, so I got it and cut the back side a bit to fit my head. Then moral tutors called me to ask why i did that. I needed to explain why. Then they all got surprised like " OMG, what a big head you have!".... After that, no moral tut

Japanese test? What is called in Japanese if i can ask? I took a TOEIC English test for the first time back in September 2001. It was probably the same with what you felt in the Japanese test. Grammer is okay for me because English education in Japan always goes grammer grammer grammer..... reading reading reading... writing writing writing.. But hearing was extremely hard for me. Have never lived abroad, neither had any experience as a foreign exchange student. I could follow the first some words, but could not follow the rest when the tape was played. I learned I need

Why? Norichan And I agree to OUfreeski2. I never had any scary stuff for it, but some of my friends told it kinda scary even for all of us Japanese men. Daddies just don't want to lose their daughters.

Hiya AngelKnight I'm a native Japanese speaker. Your Japanese looks pretty good. If you don't mind my adjusting your Japanese, there's a few here! koNichiwa --> KoN Nichi wa ( double N required) Dozoo --> Douzo. If you say Dozoo, it means a warehouse, but exactly it is described "DozoU" when you write it in hiragana or katakana. Good luck!

Haha NoFakie, Gamera's feet also look green, you know? LOL Some of my 5 fingers socks are white, some are cream-yellow. Should I get green ones as well?

Hum.. but where can I rate people?.. Damn this gamera is also getting old to understand new thing like mogski said

What's this rating thing???

Beer baron, I live in Hakuba and think it's approximately 10,000 yen and a bit more for one way to come here from Kyoto boarding on a Shinkansen from Kyoto and Shinano limited express from Nagoya. At the top december sometimes we have enough snow and sometimes less than supposed. Guess perhaps you can hit upper ski slopes at Goryu,47 and Happo then. Good luck

Hummm... Okay. Why some Japanese words that contain "R" are hard to pronounce for foreign people? - as a Japanese man, I think you had better try pronouncing them with "L", not with "R" when you pronounce them. In short, just pronounce like "Lya", "Lyu", "Lyo". We do write Ra Ri Ru Re Ro when we do in alphabet. But the pronounciations are more like La Li Lu Le Lo. Not quite the same, but closer. When I am asked, I usually tell people it. And they say it works!!!! I think I have posted the same before, but don't remember in which thread I did it LOL. Damn old brain

I've not gotten any e-mails for it yet. So guess now people still thinking about it. How about yourself, scouser?

Thanks rach. You should organize one there.

Here's detail. Date: 8th June 2002 from 6 p.m. Place:Pizzakaya "Country road" Just on the right of a road to the Hakuba Goryu ski slope. Close to a railroad crossing. Within 5 mins on foot from Kamishiro station. (JR Ooito line) If anyone could come, please e-mail me to gam1960@hotmail.com describing "Nagano get together" at the subject line. Not so big place, so if totally more than 5 will come for sure, i think i'd better reserve tables.

Haha NoFakie, you live in Hakuba? What a small world! Not good, not bad season but learned a lot weird English that are never in dictionaries when some foreign guys get drunk talking to me at my bar. And yes still no snowblower yet. Have to get one by the next winter. Well, some places listed up, but most places asked me how many would come... no idea at all Perhaps it's much easier for me to organize one in my home but then i am to be a host!!!!!! Maybe I can't enjoy?

Perhaps it's also an idea. And we could have both (camping and others) in different time? Now im trying to find bars and stuff in Matsumoto, Omachi, Nagano and Hakuba area

How about Aokiko campsite? It's lakeside... too cold? argh....oo, winter? hard for me coz of busy to remove snow!!

41 for now, but still young in heart, i guess!!!!!!

Okay Ocean11 I think I gotta organize one real quick! But camping is a bit cold at this time of the year in Nagano if its overnight?
