I reckon that the people who wanted the luxury dinner would probably still go to the "high overhead" restaurants, even if there was an izakaya. But the people who want a decent meal for a decent price would stay instead of 7-11'ing or going out to the famiresu.

If that's so, GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER!!! Seriously, when in Japan people often get told they look like people who they in reality look nothing like (apart from the fact they are both Caucasian). How about: a) people Japanese tell you you look like? people you in reality look like. Here's mine a) Keanu Reeves Ben Elton

Friends and images in the media. It just looked cooler.

Finished a while ago.

I've just seen that for the first time. Lame.

When I upgraded from 1.5 to 8, there was negligible difference in my connection.

I have a policy of reading at least 1 article a day of the J papers. Good for practice, I'd recommend it. Holiday on the weekend of course

Right now, New Order, Get Ready.

Where you off to Ocean11? Where's the snow today? Hmmm.

It really annoys me that there is no laid down system that all resorts use (for runs). It would surely make sense to have a system that everyone understands.

I think cheesemans ideas are tops. Definitely a winne

Bad news for the weekend indeed.

Nah, don't like it. Don't listen to any radio recently.

I sometimes give a paper a read, or try to. I can understand the general drift of things. Sometimes.

No! Haha! But gambatte! (You're better than me!)

I'm one of those who couldn't make it.

Cliche time, but it really does depend on the person. Almost all my not-the-same-nat-as-myself friends do not go by the stereotypes for that nation.

No machines in Niseko if I am correct. Take cash.

Who cares?

I thought that would crop up, trust Ocean11 to be the one....

What kind of boots you get Ocean11? You're into boarding not skiing, right?

I am going up there this weekend to check it out. Let's face it the fact that this Blair guy and the resort actually make the effort on here is a big plus sign don't you think? I really like their attitude

Yep, I am a jay-nee-asu.

Poser..
