I really hope he doesn't get away with it this time.

So how much do you get over all your emails accounts?

That would REALLY make me angry. The 50 or so a day I get are bad enough.

Arnie " the extreme skier"
egglesby replied to nzlegend's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I saw him on skis once on a documentary about the guy. He looked big and clumsy from what I say. As you might expect. Maybe. -
Just a silly story I think - a few have been taken down round my area to make way for new aparto buildings

I have family who live to the west of London, near Windsor. Expensive as you might expect, but a nice area - maybe a bit too near to Heathrow for their liking though.

Yes, good stuff. I was very sad to hear that news this morning.

I've had 4 jobs up until now, I find moving job to be a big hassle and lots of stress.

Same here. More money saved up for winter

Hey thanks for the help. Anyone with anything else to say?

Anyone recommend a good recent book about Japanese society. I remember enjoying The Japanese Mind a long while back, but wondering if there are any good new ones that anyone has read recently.

Long haul flights - what do you do?
egglesby replied to sachiko's topic in General off-topic discussions
I am determined to lie back, chill out and at least try to enjoy it as much as possible. But flying for me is a big hassle and I just don't like it. I'm always very glad to get off the plane safe. -
I actually thought Rising Sun was quite entertaining - possibly because it was so bad! Black Rain with Michael Douglas was the same kind of thing. Weren't there some Japanese business baddies in Disclosure too? might be mixing that up with something else there. Japan does seem to pop up quite a bit, even if it is just a reference (and usually a very stereotypical one). Congrate to James on his first at Cambridge though! Trying to think of some more examples...

What would you miss most about Japan?
egglesby replied to wendy-cake's topic in General off-topic discussions
Yeah so many mountains. And I'd miss all the Japanese people too - quite a few round where I live. -
Meteor 2 is one of those so bad it's fun experiences.

The Tomorrow People

For the most part I don't think that is the case. It seems that to an extent Arai attracts a lot of a certain type of people to it's ski lifts, but is supplying a rather different market with the hotels and restaurants they have there - leaving many of the snowboarders and skiers without much appealing options. If Arai was going for the upmarket consistently then it would be a different matter, but it isn't.

I wish I wasn't chained to mine as much as I am.

Silverchair, like them

It is warm isn't it?

You're going to Hakuba or Arai, right? Look at the temps here: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/resorts/resortdetail.php?resid=29 -
The smallest
egglesby replied to wakaran's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
1 small lift and they still charge the same?
