Just want to say hi, and see you out in Hakuba over New Year.
Anything special go on at many resorts and stuff at New Year?

Quite a few Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwan dudes go to Yuzawa.
New Year in Japan

Maybe this should go in the "things that crack me up" thread or some other, maybe not.
Anyway, does anyone else get this? It seems Japanese think that New Year is a "non-event" in any other country apart from Japan. Christmas is the event, then New Year is nothing - according to all my Japanese friends (who all have absolutely no first-hand knowledge of the actual situation).
All I can say is that New Year here seems no more "special" than it does back home. That's after experiencing 3 of them here with a Japanese family.
Anyone care to add?
