I usually spend about 4000 yen each season in Nov at the local place. They do a reet grand job.

Pah!

I don't suppose they're doing any special deals or whatever in the run up to shutdown?

Congrats. It's really come alive this last season and great to see it active even when there's no snow. It needs to be broken up into parts for next season though otherwise it'll be a pain to read.

That game was pants. Worst of the Cup so far.

The usual - cost/travel. Apart from that, and Japan specific - Jpop, crowds at weekends

Dream ; All Japan (hey, it's the dream card) Reality ; Shiga Kogen

I was watching the wide shows on tv before the match yesterday afternoon (don't usually, honest), and they had a feature on the way the foreign fans were behaving, but the Japanese fans were being "hooligans". It was refreshing to see that.

1st half was a drag. Russia should have got a penalty when Toda "did some great body defending" (as the Japanese commentator said), roughly translated as "pushed a Russian player down in the penalty area, but wasn't seen". 2nd half was more exciting. Has anyone else noticed that both the Japan games have been the 2 of the most "dirty" in the WC so far in terms of fouls, free kicks. But anyway, they did well. The home support is a big boost. Omedeto.

A little "kibishii" perhaps, that klubhead....

Ocean, where was that top pic taken?

A 3 year old Celica. Nice condition. Nice car. PS Ocean, yes it seems that you did post pics of your car. Sad, considering

Sad. Until now have there been ANY "behaviour" problems at all in this world cup that anyone knows of?

Quite afternoon it seems. Was the Mexico match on? Brazil have just equalised - they were down 0-1 until now.

Did anything happen yet with hooligans at all?

But wait....maybe there is no rainy season this year. Now that would be nice wouldn't it?

It SNOWED this week

How long did it take to hike?

I don'tt think xxx was saying anything special, just pointing out an article about Japan. What's ya problem IM?

They're quite big them things - about 4-5cm Noisy buggers too.

Don't know much about Naspa and Iwappara, etc. Thanks for that Ocean. Don't know if I'm confident enought for that though.

Encouraging to hear it's not just me....keep em coming.

Looking forward to it.

...The amplified swallowing noises on beer/juice/drink CMs on TV. They drive me up the wall. Am I alone?

This may have been covered elsewhere, but - is this place actually worth it? Looks small and not very interesting.
