We've had the ridiculous traditions in Japan, but theres oh so many back home don't you think? List 'em here:

I always think that when I see it too. Are those backpacks re-inforced or something?

Has it happened yet, bobby12? How'd it go?

In summer no, in winter just a tshirt usually

Do you reckon there will soon be a "next target" folks?

I would say getting out and doing the jogging would be the best and most effective option. Good luck!

Saw my first one of the year today. Last year we had a few in the house one day and I hated it - didnt like the house for a few weeks! Bought some "cockroach jam" that they eat and then take back to the nest to kill their friends. Anyone have any cockroach problems here?

Tell us more will ya?!!

Yeah, they might get semi-busy especially at the weekends now with just a small % of the total still open.

I think going there would spoil the memory of a great season, it looks crap.

NO! I want to look at it ALL YEAR ROUND

No way!

I wouldn't want to try.

Me too, I like it ALOT.

Some grotesque bellys walking about last summer in the US. Do they think they look like Britney Spears or what?

7-12 for me

I'm set for a hageshii weekend here so I hope I'll be feeling good for it come Monday

I'm in Yuzawa right now. About 13 degrees this afternoon, most of the snow gone in the town, lots of the rice fields showing through. We're off up to Kagura tomorrow morning.

Flower shirts. Do they still wear them over there

My g/f is going through the Ally McBeal second season (where Lucy Liu comes in) - and I am actually laughing a lot and ENJOYING IT. Am I sick?

I'm thinking of doing the same. It looks better than the other alternatives out there. The Freebord doesn't look that much fun compared

"Why do you live here?". It's the way it's said rather than the words, I think.

I like Shearer but hope he doesn't return - he'd be nothing more than a quick fix, so to speak.

I would never, ever, do that. It is just Sooooooo super-naff and cringeworthy. In my opinion, of course
