This forum really is a gem, ain't it? God, I wish I could go to Japan.

Certainly very cool

Interesting, specially for peeps like me stuck in a desk in London only dreaming about Japan.

The Smiths, What Difference Does It Ma-eh-ake? Indie music makes for the best dance music.

That's wild. I always thought (from the stereotypes of course) that Japanese kids would be quiet and nothing like that.

Are Christmas and New Year holidays in Japan?

I started a good thread, did'n'I?!! So how is it over there now? Most places open?

I would myself need to do an English lesson, given I know about 2 words in Japanese

Not too many required, if you take the lowest meaning of competent.

Might be ok, should be ok. I don't think good ole' Scotland gets that much snow actually - but up in the Cairgnorms should surely be OK. Never really considered going up there actually. Hmmmm.

Will be looking for you on the webcam image dude.

Don't they have big signs up telling you if parts aren't open then? And you pay full price. Sounds like a Rip Off Britain tactic.

I'll let you know once I've actually been.

Keitai must be cell phone then, right? Mine has Holly Vallance on it, what a babe.

NoFakie....funny! They take decorations down on Christmas Day?!?!

...and I'm sat here in an office looking at a spreadsheet.

I just saw rachs post about Christmas, and wondered - what's Christmas like in Japan. Do they celebrate Christmas or what?? Time to sleep now, past midnight here. Cheers Japan dudes

Me mate's got Eternal Darkness. Great looking game, only 1 player though so it's not a party game.

Scouser, you a closet goth then? I saw the Mish once, were ok. Best concert I've been to - for a number of reasons, disclaimer - was Queen back in the early 90s. What a night that was.

I think your next giveaway should be a return flight from Heathrow to Tokyo, with accommodation for 10 nights in a few different snow resort areas. Full board. Cheers!

Do lots of resorts over there have night floodlit riding? or is it just a few?

Nope, no, nein, NO!

Saw one of them things in a sports shop today in London. It was huge, spoke to the shop people about it (mainly because I knew a bit from reading about it here). They said people were interested, but they hadn't yet sold one of them. People thinking it were too expensive. There was a much cheaper thing selling for 80 quid that was getting more attention and more sales - the name escapes me right now. I'd like to give it a go though, looks like fun to me.

Seems that a few places were open, but what's the deal Japan dudes and dudettes? When's the start for real at most places? I've just booked my second winter boarding holiday (Italy), if someone gives me a bundle of cash I'd be over there in a shot.

It's going to be better than a wedding in Croydon that's for sure. That's what's on my things to do list.
