he he, congrats!

oh BTW, just in case they don't have the game u want, EBgames will ship to japan but i'm not sure the shipping costs will be worth it for just one game.

i used to use overtop but they closed down. G-dex is good, their shipping is 500 yen to anywhere in japan if i remember correctly (only used them once). Good luck!

what powwers said +1 - a stiff board isn't necessarily faster, just feels safer. oh, and a flexy board is a little easier for beginners.

i just use vlc media player - never had any problems with it playing us/japan dvds and my drive hasn't had any region changes registered either. just google it and u should find it easily.

yep, snowing here in hakodate too.

welcome aboard misaki. cheers from Hokkaido.

are ya interested in working at an english school? www.ohayosensei.com is a good place to start. That's where i got my current job. As for working in Hokkers. There's that Ken Hartman guy, he wants 5K yen for a list of schools to work at. I've never went thru this guy but others have told me he is for real and not a scam. If you've got IT/finance experience I can hook u up with a headhunter guy i know in Tokes(tim from shinano machi - did u ever meet him?)

i hate my local daiei. I hope it closes down and a real supermarket takes it place.

funny, i have a similar situation to others here with my neighbour's dogs. Usually what j-people do about the dogs, u can call the anteijo (usually attached to the town hall/yakuba aka yakusho about it but all they do is call up the dog owner/abuser and tell them off. Not very effective and if u have vindicative neighbours like mine, they start doing childish things to get back at you. In my case, my neighbour woke up at 3 in the morning and drove past my house while holding down the horn. Twice.

here's two more of togakushi. togakushi togakushimine btw, u can control the cams by using the presets, focus scan etc on the left - if it's moving by itself someone else is using it.

for those stuck at home or behind a desk, check this out for some "image training" araragi

yep, good to see you were all right in the end.

Quote: I tried to book a black cab on the 27th of this month, 24 hours in advance. Because it was the holiday season they increased the booking fee from gbp2 to gbp25. That’s a 5000yen booking fee!!! that's insane!

that wouldn't have been Nanae by any chance Sakebomb? It's convenient to get to from hakodate but man, i agree i've seen and experienced one too many mindless things there to be able to relax properly at that hill.

Quote: Doku, were abouts in Hakodate are you? I'm in Matsukage which is right in the middle of Hakodate near the park. Funnily enough, when i went outside this morning, my neighbour had dug my car out for me. U gotta love nice people like that

yep, took me a good twenty minutes to dig out my car too.

sounds like a charming guy...

those things are awesome!!

he he, congrats!

No way! they're out of stock!

yep, the local hill opens up next weekend. I have to work saturday but looks like Eriko and I will head up on sunday. Did u get the cartels you were talking about before?

I was wondering if anybody has tried the new bindings with capstraps from Burton or Technine. Just out of curiosity, How are they?

"wish" by the cure...

hey awesome, good for you man !!!
