Quote: what were you doing rummaging around in the garbage down an alley way Maybe they are Freegans! Great trip report. Will we get a followup? This time down the main high-street.

I tried grass skiing once - just the ones will be enough of that, thank you!

Though I did like it, I was a bit disappointed with The Simpsons... what comes with expecting too much perhaps.

Ibiza the sunset sessions/

That place was really great for an escape from the summer heat of Tokyo and to get reminded of the coming winter. I prefer it to Ikea any day.

You should have known when @Steven Segal@ came up on the credits. But that one is particularly bad.

The Police did open the Grammys and played Roxanne. Nothing special, a bit dreary actually. I was hoping for something more interesting.

Thats great

While I have heard about the throwing beans and often see the sumo guys do it on tv, I don't really know what it is!

I'm sure a 60000 yen price tag has something to do with it as well. Sony are really risking getting caught out just too late with the strategy they have gone with.

Really looking forward to seeing that. It will either be brilliant to see them play some old songs... or not. (Obviously!) They would make a fortune if they toured. I wonder if that might have anything to do with it..

So the PS2 is outselling the readily-available PS3? That looks really bad.

I prefer gloves myself feels better grip.

Question - even if I have both on my machine like this, surely I would only be using one at a time. They wouldn't both be using resources at the same time... right?

Quote: 1000+ aftershocks I remember that being on the news for like forever. How many aftershocks were there in the end. I can imagine it being total hell living with the ground moving many times a day.

I really want to try that place as well. Got a few buddies in Tokyo here who rave about it. Sent you a mail, do you do overnights?

Have a good time, wish I were you. I'm working tomorrow

FAT by Rob Grant Did you know the number of overweight people has surpassed the number of malnourished? Rob Grant is the creator of Red Dwarf for those who don't know. An interesting book, thought-provoking and funny.

Gifu & Nagano (Hakuba and others) are your best choices.

Okushiga Kogen hotel is nice. Ski resort at the far end of SK. It's on this site.

Are they good? I've never been in one of those places. Always get the impression the meat is pretty crappy quality.

I really want to go there. Just love those monkeys.

Johnnys Junior on Music Station now. About 100 five-year old (well they look 5) doing their over-zealous Johnnys "dancing". Why are girls screaming at 5 year olds?

That list is crazy.

Wouldn't mind trying around there out myself as well. I heard the snow is really good.
