At least there's some good weather happening this year! I was almost there this weekend. Got asked to work Fri/Sat nite at Club Med in exchange for 5 free days holiday there but I was already working on Sat/Sun. Oh well...

wow, it's that bad....! I use gas and electric carpets.

wow, it's that close. Years ago I was out that way and got invited to go X-country skiing with the local rice farmers and their wives, no-one was under 50, had a great day! Is there no cross country skiing here? I quite like it, but that's the only time I've ever seen it here.

aha, it's a generations old price scam, eh?

why are they so expensive? Are they hard to grow and scarce in supply?

phew, that's good to know.

No domo, I meant for pre-registering, not for entering the country.

Immigration or the airport, but make sure you're not getting a nite flight cos the airport one closes at 5pm.

yeh, there's always that too. thanks. Yeh Davo, hope to catch you. I think it'll be a little chilly for swimming for us, but if I'm ever there in the summer......

(unbelieveable).

I feel very secure knowing guys like these are running the country.

Hi Davo, how's it going? I like Arishiyama, sounds like a nice idea, thanks.

They must put up the pic of the day in the evenings, I'm seeing lots of them with sunlit snow in the background.

hmmmm, there's a lot more to chinese meds than that. But whatever......

By the way, Chinese Medicine - the Japanese form called Kampo - has been well documented with medical studies. Doctors at hospitals prescribe people kampo to take to help with things like the aftereffects of chemotherapy.

I consider myself quite a religious person - BUT - I follow no organised religion nor am I interested in ever doing so. I see god in nature, in music, in art, in sooo many things. A few out of body experiences after being out cold many years ago probably slanted me toward my point of view.

interesting that they term it 'defense'......

you can get them at the airport when you come in.

nice!

Markie, lol, was I ever falling asleep at my gig that nite! Hakuba is a bit much for a day trip I think....

there ya go - but you're Japanese literate Well actually I'm glad my cash card isn't my visa card, I feel somehow safer knowing the visa stays at home 99.9% of the time (though that could be a sense of false security for all I know...!)

haha, I'll keep that in mind! Thanks anyway Jane!

Yeh, they do that in Oz, I'm not sure if they do it in Japan, I've never seen the option myself but then what would I know? I'm illiterate here
