  1. Conditions in parts of Niigata, especuially in that southern band from Myoko to Yuzawa, can be bad but I would say on the whole they are rather smooth apart from the big snow days. Perhaps surprisingly so. It doesn't get as cold as other places and the snow is often moved quickly and out of the way.
  2. Diet tubby? Nice day here, blue skies, warming up
  3. Same today as well, bit less wind I think.
  4. Didn't realise they were seperate. Presumably then the basic "functionality" is the same with them all. And anything else means an extra control on the bath maker side?
  5. Quite warmer today in Niigata city, but a strong wind blowing
  6. OK that makes me thing it might be somewhere in Chuetsu area of Niigata, close to the earthquake a number of years ago. Don't recognise it though really. It's not Koshi Kogen, I can tell that. Bit out of the zone, but... Joetsu Kokusai?
  7. A local shop sold my lady friend some beer that was over 1 year past it's 'best by' date. Luckily, I checked. Don't know why. But I will from now on. They were very apologetic, though not enough - box of tissues and a refund didn't quite seem enough to me.
  8. The 'holidays' (including weekend days) this year are Saturday 27th April Sunday 28th April Monday 29th April and Friday 3rd May Saturday 4th May Sunday 5th May Monday 6th May So effectively two long weekends.
  9. Like I said I found the idea ridiculous as well, it was just that seed of doubt that was planted. Glad other people seem to be aging the same. thanks
  10. I am planning on sending a large amount of money from my bank account in the US, in my name, to my own bank in Japan. These funds are 100% mine, savings from over the years, and so I have already paid income tax on them. They are not a gift or inheritance and not income. Can I safely assume that I won't be slapped with any kind of tax on that? The idea sounds pretty outrageous to me and it didn't even occur to me until someone (who usually talks rubbish a fair amount of the time!) mentioned something like that but got me worried.
  11. Some are fun. Some are just plain strange and nasty.
  12. All very interesting. Wonder how that works with apartments? I know I don't pay anything like that........
  13. Do N Korea do their war thing over the weekend?
  14. Naeba was just such a cool place. Was featured in popular romantic movies and stuff. Was the place to be!
  15. They had a rough time with that didn't they. Can't remember what started the problem?
