It seems like I have not read any serious book lately....

Ah... There is other sports bar in Shibuya too. And I think if you go to OUTERBAK in Shiubya, they are going to show Worldcup. But I heard that you need to have "invitation card" from Bars during worldcup in Roppongi and Shibuya. ('cos Hooligans. ) I gonna have a small "Watching TV Session" in my house in Shibuya instead of going to Roppongi or Shibuya (Chaos area)

Gaijin population increasing in Shibuya every single day. 2 British guys has evacuated by Japanese Government authority at Narita Airport because their name on the "BLACK LIST" Many people rush into Big Camera or Sakuraya or some discounted stores for buying Sky Perfect TV. Which countries will win you guess? For me? I guess winner will be "Argentina" but supporting "Italy" becuase of good looking guys, i.e. Totti & DelPierro

Is it!? Sex in the city on Wowow? When? When? When???

Jp boy rider,Takaharu Nakai is really sick kid. I have seen his ride on the slopes few days, his ride is really really really CRAZY & SICK but really really stylish. (Even Tina Basich, SIMS Intl'snowboarder from USA, had kept saying that Nakai's ride = crazy! when she was here in March) He is one of COOL teenager rider from JAPAN. I am look forward to seeing his ride in Olympic games again. Also I met a Japanese-version-of-Shuan White in Nigata.... Oh god, I forgot his name!! but he is really young, he is only Jr. High kid, but he already Pro-rider and he is really really really good fo

....well...., Sorry Rach, I don't like Mr. Beckham...... Although I am supporting England because of Michael Owen. But in case of England vs. Argentina on 7th June.... my feeling is Argentina will win... I don't know why....

xxx - Hey thanx for greating.( My life was in chaos for a while.) I think American beauty was really good, even I am female(!!) Maybe American Beauty isn't at all kind to women ('coz my housemate hates it. She thought it's discussing story) but I interested in the concept of the movie, e.g., "relationship" within family, How come men/women get fancy about other lady/man even they already have partner etc. well, anyway, I like it.

Last season, Canada was really bad but Japan was not bad (at least, I thought) This season, Japan was bad but Canada was good(I heard). Let's hope good snow for next season! Maybe good snow!

Best day was 11th Feb 2002 in Myoko Suginohara. Powder everywhere! It was Super! (Although, bad day was also 11 Feb 2002. 'cos I injured elbow on the slope.)

Ishiuchi's pipe. Bigger pipe near Park. Still open - Good shape ('cos we used for Xgame winter, many pro-boarder said good shape) but quite durty. Plus, there are BIG hall & RIVER near the half pipe.... Smaller pipe - still open, I haven't check yesterday so I have no idea. but It looks okay. Ishiuchi Maruyama - the bottom of Slope is kinda hard to ride, 'cos you can see soil almost everywhere... Top part was a snow a little bit so better to stay in Top part.

... I like Kagura too. I went there three time this year. It was fun. But this year... I don't know you can enjoy Kagura or not in Apr/May time... [This message has been edited by Nat (edited 27 March 2002).]

danz - if you go to Yellow hat or some car-parts shop, you can buy "SPEED CAMERA CHECKER" That crazy machine suddenly start to beep if your car is located near Speed Camera on Kousoku douro.... my friends saved a lot of money from it, well, I really a good driver(!!) so I don't need to have it thought. Anyway, Safe Driving. [This message has been edited by Nat (edited 19 March 2002).]

Well... I could say something about 'Skier' if you going to say 'snowboarders ruin the snow' I could say, 'Skiers making mogul courses on the slopes' which is really unfriendly to snowboarders. (To B honest, I hate to ride mogul with my snowboard) I was a skier for 8 years since I was a child, but I snowboarding this 4 years. I understand 'snowboarders ruin....' issue 'cos I was skier and I hate sking on the slope with snowboarders(seriously) but once i started snowboarding, I understand both side's opinion. Resorts are basically 'common space' for snowboarders &

Seki-Onsen... A little village, behind Akakura-onsen. There is a road to go from Akakura-onsen during Summer time, but due to TOO MANY SNOW, you cannot take that short cut during winter. A LOT OF SNOW every year, and many many many snowboarders. Even this year(lack of snow everywhere), there are plenty snows. There are many girls camps, and Seki-onsen will have 'GIRLS-OPEN' on 8th April 2002. Also there are salomon snowboarding camp coming up soon, and I think salomon one-make competition coming up in there as well. I stayed Seki-onsen this season, .but I didn't go to

Thanx rach for info. It's sad news that SSAWS gonna close. I went to SSAWS many times, (then I went to Costcos & outlet shopping mall in Kaihin-Makuhari after boarding) off course, mountains in winter season is best but I like snowboarding in SSAWS during summer as well. Pretty shame.

ocean - there are really good 'off-piste' area around Pioneer course. But because of 'off-piste'.... Kijimadaira closed Pioneer course for snowboarders.... If you check Kijimadaira's web, they wrote the message to snowboarders from Patrol, says, 'Off-piste - absolutely dengerous around Pioneer course. Don't go.'
