is it worth it?

I agree!

Are those badge tests still popular?

Presumed Innocent. Always end up enjoying watching decent courtroom thriller type flicks.

Tanigawa is a great mountain. Thanks for sharing. Wonder how long it took the guys at the end of the queue to get up on the mountain.

I kind of thought that too, but no skijo there.

She wanted steeper terrain.

Another tricky one from MO! Need to be at work to devote the time to a search.

Don't multiple companies own Happo?

Both options sound good to me.

Arrived all good on Sunday. Hurray!

Set to be delivered to me today.

OK I check now and it looks like it arrived last night and this morning is being Held by customs. I presume that means it's going through the process rather than being "held" in a bad way. I would love to know why it took 7+ days to get from an airport in Germany to arriving in Japan. I suppose it will be Tuesday or so before I get it now.

I don't think it's that as neither tracking side has it arriving in Japan at all. Previously when I have had tracking I have known when it landed and went through customs etc.

Surely not overland. It's something I will need to sign for as well, and getting tracking I was expecting it to be fast. BTW amazon's delivery estimate was yesterday (13th September).

OK so I have an order on it's way from the UK to Japan. Apparently it left Germany (?) on Thursday last week. Still not here and the DHL page - and the JapanPost tracking number I got - both still show it "left Germany". Wondering if it stopped off in South America for a holiday or something. Unless it was sent on ship or carrier pigeon, I can't understand why it took more than a day to get from German to Japan - but Japanpost reckon it's not here yet.

No, it isn't. Not if you are learning to pronounce things correctly anyway.

But that kanji is not, on it's own, an elongated sound.

I call my mum by telephone

Lordy dordy, we are talking about eating them aren't we?

Why would you do that?

OK having this discussion last night... cool or not to drink beer from a bottle? Fine with my but my friend has it as a no-no.

I'm pretty good at the old Oyaji gags.

There's loads of goats on them there islands. Cool.
