Thats the one that Wab mentioned (above)

day trip

Nope.

Sorry a bit late replying. I'll be there tomorrow. Can't miss me. Tall gaijin in yellow/brown. Very cool orange board.

I'm fairly into it - fun to watch. It'd be great to actually go and see it live. Anyone been?

I have the same one as you cheeseman, and had problems with it...I wish I'd gone with the Canon one I was considering at the time.

Most definitely YES

I am not too far from HM it turns out - anyone else in the area or want to link up for a day out there. Its fairly well located for some of you in Tokyo, esp NE side. ?

Went to Hunter Mountain yesterday. Some nice bunnies on the lifts there, not so many farmers on duty

Aren't you echinekos hero?! Glad to hear your ok barok. BAd deal

Its doing all right, but there is a need for freshies now.

What makes that place so good, joshnii?

Interesting.

They'll only go on about how you were doing wrong in the first place. I'm not doubting your honesty, but when we're talking "violence" etc, exactly how bad was it? It's hard to imagine the Japanese patrol really man-handling someone, esp a big gaijin.

Hunter Mountain is quite accessible and a decent alternative.

I seem to hit the farmer led resorts then.

You really hate Malnuma hey Ocean11 Maybe you should just GO to see what it's REALLY like.

Hey thanks - have some scooby snacks on me

Has anyone been to Manza?

Really? Whats that then?

Are there many advances in the technologies recently or are we up against a wall??

NoFakie You're talking about GTA: Vice City there, my man.

Anko sucks big time. I heard you get used to it. Really?????

Now that would be good. I've only been here a matter of months but there is much to love and much to frustrate (especially when you can't do the language). On the whole very positive all round though.

I am going to Gunma this coming weekend to visit some friends there, it'll be my first time so I'm really looking forward to it. They say we're going to Houdaigi and Marunoma Kogen (?)
