Looks like lots of snow righty now!

I'm jealous! But have a good time.

The world seems to be heading deeper and deeper into a worrying times. I am not the expert I wish I was, but I just don't have confidence in GWB.

Optional but advised..!

Whats with the tradition here in Japan of saying Happy New Year and sending on new year cards you forgot up and until the 15th? Any significance in the 15th anyone know?

That's hilarious, love the Wacko shreeks!

I like that. You like lots of words don't you....

Seems to me that everyone has something they want from a resort. There are so many different types of customer, most by definition different from yourself. I don't believe that Arais main market is the hardcore. It is families, who stay at the hotels. I don't know why the new hotel has been part closed down, or even if that is true - it will be good to hear some kind of confirmation of that from the resort. Anyway its interesting whatever!

Swwoooooooosh

Hi there! Interesting. I don't agree with you Fattwins at all. There is a market for the more expensive resort. And some people like to go to a luxurious resort rather than bunk down for 2000 yen. (Myself being one of those people). I would most definitely choose that resort and hotel over any cheap place. They are not going to (and not trying to) appeal to someone who just wants to lay their head for as little as possible - it's just a different market altogether. Just my thoughts on the matter.

I have been once. It was OK, one of the best in the area by all accounts. We were there when they were filming one of the London Hearts programs, so it was quite fun to watch that going on - even if they did cordon off a slope to do the filming.

English computers often reject English software too fattwins. It's all part of the, ahem, FUN!

Which lines? Im hoping to go up there tomorrow.

What is the appeal with kotatsu? I can't really see it

How long does it take for you to get to Hakuba rach from down there? 3 hours?

Yes, very much so. More the other side than this side in my opinion.

I suppose there's little chance of any decent nighta right now. I've decided not to go out this weekend, will spend it re-charging the old batteries - been on low far too long.

Recently seen a few Croc Hunter progs on TV and that Steve bloke makes me laugh. What's his story?

We ARE worried! or is that

Lots of snow. But it seems compared with 20,30,40 years ago - much less snow now.

Ha. Not many of them in Japan, I don't think

ET was cute, not seen that for years.

What about Treacle Toffee.

Sunglasses have always been fine with me.

I agree with you viv&kev
