My buddy was dodgy about doing it, he had full on coke bottles -10 and -11 dioptres!!!! he was blind!!! anyway after I did it successfully he raced in at the spped of sound and was sorted. His eyes are still bang on perfect 4 years later. I raved about it to a Japanese friend who did it last week, in Japan the surgery was only approved in 2000, very far behind the reat of the world. Many Japanese are play it safe for this kind of thing, but I was the catalyst for her to do it. She was soooo happy after she did it

http://www.eyeclinic.co.nz/ this is the place I went to in ChCh NZ. Check out Dr Kents credentials, the dude is the LASIK master, if he doesnt have the skill or experience no one does. 7000plus satisfied customers It cost $4000NZ to do both eyes 4 years ago, so i am figuring maybe $4500 now thats about $2500US. It was the single greatest thing I have done for myself. No glasses, contacts. for a person who is active and has contacts or glasses, one of the top 5 greatest days of your life is when the take the covers off for the first time after the op the next day and you can see.....

Translation of O11 - "I needa lay a cable so Im goin to the shitter"

my eyes were pretty bad, -5.o dioptres, had it done by an expert in NZ, called David Kent, LASIK is his bread and butter. My eyes 4 years later a perfect still usually, 6/5 better than perfect. Before I had it done was night sight was terrible, but after the op it was really good again, but recently its decreasing a little, still very good, not awesome any more at night. Overall I highly rate the op, long term I think there are no effects, PRK has been around nearly 20 years and no long term ill effects are to be seen. Dont listen to opticians they will say its bad mainly because after t

I had done 4years ago, anyone else had it done? how have your results been? My eyes are still awesome, excellent vision, but at night time recently my night vision has not been as good, still pretty good, but not as good. Anyone had problems?

I love reading nostalgic and historical stories. The things that get me was how unbelieveably flimsy the bindings were. wow and I complain about my bindings. These guys probably ripped aswell. I would love to time travel and take some modern equipment back to Sondre and say " there ya go my son, have a lash on these" He would probably cream his pants (photo edited - see photo in main feature)

Ping Pong yep i studied geology/geography at University. I love field work but hate book work which is why I never did a Masters, couldnt wait to escape from University and head for Colorado for skiing and never went back (to school)and then ended up here in Japan. I studied Coastal and Glacial in Geog. And in Geol I did Sedimentolgy, Geophysics, Eng Geol, Metamorphic and Igneous Geology and Structural geology. I have always been into that kind of stuff so thats why I studied it, but studying it wasnt as I expected and you need a Masters or Phd to do anything in that field and I am slippin

someone emailed this to me, thought I would share it with ya all Quote of the day "You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the US of arrogance, and Germany doesn't want to go to war."

Bang on there Davo, bang on. Teaching English is a bit of subterfuge (1. Noun - Something intended to misrepresent the true nature of an activity) for many Chain schools. All they really want is money, its all about sales, ripping people off for huge amounts of money and as a token gesture sending some unqualified native speakers to speak to them, Speak not teach. I have seen some complete dickheads "speaking to students" they couldnt teach their grandma to suck eggs. The patronising progress reports Davo mentioned mean little and as far as caring for the students needs......get this certa

Every year I am reminded how biased, bribed and out of touch with the public, those w*nkers at the motion picture academy really are. Oscar???Oscar is a green furry fella on seasame street I couldnt give a Rats ass if a movie does well at the Oscars. I am not so superficial and besides the Cannes is more indicative of a good movie, its a good yardstick for decent movies

http://www.geocities.com/japanfaq/FAQ-Prices.html makes for very interesting reading. what a place we live in. Also has anyone read the book "Dogs and Demons" I know you have Davo, but anyone else? another dude was giving me a mindnumbing blow by blow account of it. also this another interesting website especially the SAQ Seldom asked questions. http://www3.tky.3web.ne.jp/~edjacob/

Fattwins did you see what I posted in this thread? http://www.skijapanguide.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=003808 I spent 5 days there a while back, Princess Diana died while I was up there so thats when it was. I loved the place, the solitude, the atmosphere, the lack of people, 20-30 on the whole mountain while I was there. Hanging out in the lodge talking and drinking. NZ mountain safety run some hardcore Avalanche courses there, right up to learning to use explosives etc. The terrain is awesome wind lips, cornices, bowls, shutes, cliff drops, extreme fac

So what's all this 'stop bickering' business then? typed in haste...regretted for a lifetime. anyway such issues can strongly divide people / friends who were previousy civil and courteous to eachother. A case in point was when I was a Junior high School Student, or Intermediate School student to be more precise, back in the late '80's I had a good rapport with Mr X teacher, he was a top bloke. There was another teacher Mrs Y who never spoke to and ignored
