[Working at a Japanese company]

Where do you work rajeem?

[You must spend 1 million yen]

I don't think I'd have many problems spending it!

[Poll - how good is your spoken Japanese?]

Me too, I should be much better than I actually am.

[Xbox Live]

Sounds like fun. So is Phantasy Star Online in English then??

[FEATURE : Ex-Rookie Meanderings in Melting Snow]

Me too. Down with the fat-curry-rice.

[How many ski-jos have you been to in Japan?]

About 30 I'd like to try out!

[Food on the slopes]

I really hate cheap curry rice with the poor excuses of meat - yuck. And katsudon when its like 70% fat.

[Compared to before winter - are you fitter now?]

I wish! My body doesn't seem to want to get any younger with time

[Season ticket holders - get your money worth?]

Just interested to know if any of you people out there who got season tickets got your money worth or not out of them?

[ps2, xbox, gamecube?]

Got Soul Calibur for the box last night - and spend about 4 hours on it.

 

It rocks.

[FEATURE : Sondre Norheim - the Skiing Pioneer of Telemark]

I wonder what it actually felt like skiing with 'equipment' like that. It must have been so different to what we know.

 

Nice to read about that, thanks.

[Beacuse the world is screwed up...]

No, you're mistaken Deepprobe, coz it's me.

[Boarding on TV again]

There was something on local Saitama tv (?) last night about snowboarding and skiing again. This time they seemed to be going on about how the numbers on the hills keep on decreasing year on year, interviewing some glum looking ski-jo people.

[Poll - what time do you go to sleep and get up?]

After midnight is the only time that things get to near-quiet round here.

[Doctor stories]

I hate hospitals anyway, but having stray dogs wandering about

[Who here lives in a snow town?]

I'd love to, just for the experience. Good to see there's not too many people to be jealous of tho

[Hakuba this weekend?]

It's either Hakuba or Nozawa or Minakami - it'll depend on the weather.

[Scots and Irish accents]

Don't mock! But I always find it difficult to distinguish between the Scots and Irish accents. How can I get round this?

 

[Who here lives in a snow town?]

The other thread about living in snow towns was interesting. But I was wondering, how many of the regulars here are living in a snow/ski town?

[With SSAWS gone, where's the best indoor?]

Cool. Any good. Look real small and not so much fun- maybe best to wait for the real stuff.

[Any lucky SJ giveaway winners here?]

Fattwins, did you read this though:

 

 Quote:

By the way - there have been relatively few entries to the latest Hakuba 47 draw so far this week, so if you enter the chances of winning will probably be higher than usual

Sounds like a good chance to me. (I'm not entering coz I wouldnt be able to use it)

[ps2, xbox, gamecube?]

Got the Box with - House of the Dead, Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Panzer Dragoon, Jet Set Radio.

 

Getting Soul Calibur soon

[How many times this season so far?]

2!

[How do you choose the resort you go to?]

Ones with long wide gentle slopes for now. Trying to get confidence back after last years breaking of leg!

[Compared to Europe/US]

Hi there. My first year in Japan. Last year I broke my leg skiing in France. Put me off a bit but I'm gradually trying to give it another go here in Japan.

 

I didn't get to see much of France (due to above accident), and this may have been covered here before, but how do the resorts and snow here compare to like Europe and US?

 

Cheers
