Yuki's Passion

You obviously dont have much up there in your head, the height of the mtns in Japan arent worth a heli, they arent far from top lifts, and theyre certainly not worth the money they charge for as far as it is saved in hiking. Why dont you go to Alaska and do some heli skiing? I can totally understand the reasons then. Japan, not one. Yes, quite sad for the victims. The Polish govt has taken a massive hit (again). How sad.

whats the point of posting that? Just like what it says. Seems like a good waste of money when the flight time and hike time arent that different. Oh, I get it, you wanna sound all cool and all and say Ive been backcountry heli skiing in Japan. Right. You prolly dont have the strength to hike it either. Go on then

search him under Japan Times or the likes YOS...

X3 on voting Ishihara to be the biggest **** in this country.

Pie, basically speaking yes, most places are open as normal but might open a bit later and close a bit earlier than other days. The one place that is closed on Sundays (for which I always had a craving for it on Sundays) is Chik-fil-A, the best fast-food restaurant and the only one I still have cravings for...

In the southern part of the states you cannot buy alcohol at stores/supermarkets on Sundays! But, you can at a restaurant... You believe that? Biblebeaters give me the shits.

I thought it was China where the govt had the 100 hookers party. I think Thailand is too expensive if they head to inaka China I bet itd be cheaper.

yes, and before each meeting there is the ceremony of the swallowing of a little blue pill.

I have had some that did, and some that didnt. They sent the info to the tax revenue, so I just had to go pay it in installments - something like every 3 months??? Now, I just dont even see it nor have to deal with it, and thats just easier for me.

I read the Life of Pi and really enjoyed it - quite funny and enjoyed the different themes of religion and the role of God for humans. Great book. Id like to teach that one some time. Rereading Norwegian Wood - it has been well over a decade since I read this so I had forgotten it, but enjoying it now. I heard its going to be made into a movie so wanted to read it before the movie comes out. Currently also reading The Hobbit. Love it. Such a classic!

So, like other "addicts" if they have sex again do they have to start from day 1 all over again??

My admin office at school does them for all of us, and theyre damn good so no problems there. My previous schools left me holding papers going WTF but not anymore. I usually get a bit back at the end of the year, but not much cuz theyre spot on. Its nice not having to pay the govt straight because its sent out by school so I dont have to do anything =

I had a listen to the new Massive Attack and I wasnt so impressed either. Maybe give it another go at some point. Recently listening to UA's Turbo and her 2 CD Illuminate as well as OAR (Of a Revolution)

You guys out in Hawaii are lucky - beautiful place, nice beaches, and sick waves. The ocean is the worlds biggest onsen!

In fact it's hard to determine if they ever have plans for anything at all.... For instance summer is just a few months away. What grand plans do Tokyu have to increase summer tourism to the resort? If

gotcha, thanks!

nice, too bad the waves look flat and not very surfable... how many shots of tequila did you have or can you remember having?

sand, I tried to buy a TGR flick off of iTunes but they were only available in N. America. Where did you find it? The only ski movies I have downloaded are ones that I already own except for Claim, and they are on my Ipod. Id rather have the DVDs of those personally.

It's as lame as Tsugaike so why don't u be a man and hike it.

If Furano chills out a bit and it seems like they are, then that resort would go off. The village has loads of nice restaurants, the atmosphere is nice, prices are moderately cheap, and crowds are small. I liked it.

under that pair lift Quattro that splits off to the left?

Im the only one who thinks Otaru is a waste of time? To each their own I guess. Asahikawa is really chilled. I liked the time I spent there and will def. head back. Hakkodate is nice too I think. The night lights are cool, but dont compare to Kobe/Mt. Rokko. Reminds me a bit of Nagasaki.

nice pics matt, thanks. saw some shots my mates took and it looked sick.
