snowboard_freak Don't laugh - but what (or should that be WHO) is heavy metal these days? Are there many new metals bands out there???? And what do you think of all this nu-metal breed? Please enlighten me

Whats the deal with kaki and winter? Some kind of connection?

Wow, that comes round fast, don't it? We can only hope that next season is different....

I think they'll work all year round

A bit out of date, ain't it?

Not here in Fukushima/Niigata yet. A bit more I think.

Simple Minds? How about Culture Club. Ha!

I've never seen it in action and with a risk of losing cred - how's it done? Lot of different ways to make a "good pipe" etc? Cheers dane

Say it as it is deebee will ya?! I used to like it but not as much now - many of my friends just don't seem to go as much. Is karaoke losing some of it's appeal with the Japanese as well I wonder?

Anyone of you skiers had a go?

Ive seen a little thing last season at Alts. Some bloke was riding this - looked like home made - mini board. About 60cm long barely big enough for his feet, he was bombing down the courses, pretty good at it too.

The rice fields have been cleared of their 'product' - and today I'm getting a headache from all the burning that's going on out there in the fields round my apartment. I'm not sure what's going on here, anyone know?

I've heard that resorts are really inflexible in their pricing policy - is that right? It seems strange that they don't offer discounts in early/late season, or when all the lifts aren't running, or all the courses aren't open. I was just wondering what you veterans knew/thought on this? Cheers Dane PS Any other inflexible stories most welcome, always good for a laugh!

Keep it coming intellectuals.....we are getting all serious aren't we?

Where was the ceremony for the official switching of humidity off that seems to have happended. It's almost chilly here this morning (Fukushima-ken) Not complaining mind.

Check out some of them flashback music programs on TV midweek evenings. You'll see a fair few mullets there, for sure.

Make the most out of being in fukushima

Hi tim, why dont you just check out this thread: http://www.skijapanguide.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000622.html

just me on my own. best way to be.

Why, thats an understanding thought

yes sometimes, best not to think about it too hard.

No problems here with my folders (!?)

OK, the town office got back to me and asking me to still pay the health charges. They say that I must pay up, basically, even if I want to join an international policy. Hmm, what to do?

Is Titan a mega-coaster? (over 200ft?? maybe). It all sounds a bit far for me. Northern Japan has no decent coasters.
