slow

Some of my friends are cross country skiers. They usually go to Senjogahara in Nikko. I have no idea what kind of place and snow they need. Are they skiing on the forest road? Are they happy with deep powder? Is there any good place for both downhill skiers and cross country skiers??

I have mixed feelings about this news. Why now? They have 11yo and 14yo daugters, Kiko-sama is around 40years old. After 11years, They wanted to have a baby again? This will help Masako-sama release from the pressure? Kiko-sama is so perfect for the royal family. She is a faultless woman, if it's a boy. I'm more sympathetic to Masako-sama.

?? You are looking at something different. WSJ's catalogue price is 38,850yen.

For me, best coffee is Italian Kimbo. You can try this at the Delonghi cafe in Kanda. By the way, is anyone here using French press coffee maker? Tastes different?

Normal people????? I am just a little disappointed, they looked super happy during the Tour de France...

White Smoke jacket was around 28,000yen at the outdoor shop in Shibuya.

How about this case, gamera? Truck-yaro!

They broke up?... What a life he has...

I am waiting for Patagonia sale. It was around this time last year but I haven't got any information yet. I went to the outdoor shop in Shibuya tonight and Patagonia clothes or some things were on sale already. I'll check another shop tomorrow.

You had a busy week, that's nice! After such a fun weekend, I was so bored in Tokyo and counting the days until next ski trip to Rusutsu, 1,2,3..........18,19,20,21!

When Tokyu decided to sell the Hirafu to Australian investment company, we and people in Niseko knew that many Australians would come. Who could stop this business deal between them? Some local people are happy and some are not. There are good things and bad things. I think (hope) local people will learn how to deal with those drunken and lound aussies soon. By the way, what were the Niseko problems? I forgot. Too many aussies?

Is there any NATURAL way to make breast bigger? Like muscle train or food? Some say soy milk is good. I should drink more soy milk to prove it.

Nice pictures! Thanks SG. Sunrise, it's not sava, it's sock_monkey taking a big bite of a burger. I don't like my pinkie in the air, I have to be careful... Tsonda, I can't open those pictures you sent us, please show them here.

That stadium used be called Yokohama Kokusai stadium but now it's called Nissan stadium. I didn't know that. You can pre order your ticket by 9am tomorrow morning and public sales starts from 18th Feb. Snowglider is coming to Yokohama in April! That's exciting!!

I'm eating Gravity Works's ginger cookie now, this is goooooood. You were really zombie after the party, Fattwins. Thanks for organizing the party. SJ members I met in Hakuba are all nice and cool. The view from the top of the Happo yesterday was so beautiful. It was really fun weekend. Thanks for washing and cleaning, Toque!

The bread I shared with you guys in Nozawa was pretty good. See you later in Hakuba!

Then, we'll eat at the Tracks. I'll have small lunch on the slope as usual, so I can eat big meat dish for dinner. I'll take some bagels and cheese for my breakfast and lunch. I can buy chocolate in Hakuba.

I go swimming or cycling everyweekend. The swimming pool near Shibuya is just 400yen. There are few Obasans in the evening and I'm pretty good swimmer there. I spent 170,000yen on my road bike. It's not cheap bike but not so expensive if I compare to my budget for ski equipment. I can keep up with my male friends during 50-80km(distance) ride thanks to my nice bike! And doing Yoga at home is free. I like life long exercise, I can keep doing it untill 70years old! So, going to gym is not for me.

Girls are growing faster than boys, aren't they? My nephew didn't walk until 1.5years old and he can only say Ash!(I think he is trying to say Hai!) now.
