Were you there, Goemon?? It was like anti-war concert or something. I didn't like the hall, either. It's too far from the station. The sound quality was very bad first songs and I was very unconfortable with that sound. But it was OK at the end, getting better. Yeah, DJ Shadow was very interestiiiiiiing!

Looks beautiful day from the office! I'm fine I have to work on public holiday, since there are some friends like me here!!

Ocean, I remember that your town is famous for "The Furansu Za Nudo Gekijo", so you go there everynight?

It's almost countdown... so disappointed...

Quote: Actually, the French are lucky in that they seem to have a government that represents the will of the people on this issue. Unlike the British. Yeah, Tony Blair is in a difficult situation now. How about the US? Do they have a government that represents the will of the people on this issue??

I think local = many local people, kids... Asarigawa onsen (hokkaido), Kamui Misaka (yamanashi), Nobeyama (nagano)...

I booked Hokkaido trip today and decided to go to Rusutsu and Teine Highland this time. It'll be the last Hokkaido ski in this winter. I really hope we'll have great snow and nice weather!! So I can't go to the snowball party but have a great time, everybody!!

Danz & Ocean, I was so impressed with your Japanese!

I thought it was good radio station 5years ago but it's not so interesting anymore. (Peter Barakan is still OK.) Do you listen to inter FM? Is it a good radio station for foreigners?

Yeah, I can sleep anytime & everywhere.

Very good English lesson!

Not snowing in Shibuya yet...

I'm going to the concert, too. The new album makes me sleepy, though. Is the DJ Shadow nice?

Maybe all of you know, Yuichiro Miura has a ski school at Teine Highland. He sometimes ski there.

Tomamu, Teine Highland, Sapporo Kokusai, Asarigawa Onsen, everywhere in Hokkaido is good. Only one, Mount Racey wasn't so good.

No more Peter Gilmour? Maybe I'm out of date...

Quote: thanks- i really wanted to see that closer up! Nekobi, you are brave!!

Rain at Nozawa? Is it very warm like spring coming soon in the mountain, too??

I'm working today but leaving for Niseko tomorrow night! I always take advantage of my day off on weekdays to get cheap ski tour!

Sure. There are many "jigaki" (local downhill kids) in Japan.

That was my favorite!

Can you do that? How?? I saw the game on TV. It looked like very exciting but dangerous...

2pints, Gambatte is like good luck(not really). Gambarimasu is like do my best. Yoroshiku is very convenient word. I use those often unconsciously. Very Japanese??

Very good at Tomamu! Extreme cold and squeaky puff puff snow below zero. You can try everything. But it's more like romantic forest than mountain, so you can't expect steep slopes and long run. It's terribly flappy foot of the hill. However I'm improved and speed maniac so far. Is this enough SnoboYaro??
