kintaro

shower...an occasional bath after a full day of boarding, however. Warms the bonez!

Dr. Evil, I imagine the point would to become a Japanese citizen. Just a guess Me...no. As unpopular as it's becoming to be an American these dayz I'm keeping my passport. If my wife and I have kids I want them to have a choice (she's Japanese).

clarification, by "this country" I meant North Korea.....not Japan! Gomen ne!

No, but I am pro-sovereign Hawaii (whole 'nuther issue..don't get me started!). Maybe anti-North Korean Govt policies. This countries leadership appears to be truly mad! Trying to make trouble w/ this one aren't you ocean? What's your vote mate?

It's a cheap investment. I reccomend.

Indosm, I hear Nagoya really sucks! I feel for you....summer's just around the corner. Tokyo sucks maybe a little less but nonetheless sucks in summer. Tohoku not too bad

I can't even find a mental image of sleeping in hair. A first for me mate!

Never seen a tow truck in Japan. But those "jama parkers" as I call them are everywhere!! Blows my mind sometimes how some guy can park his car on a major road just so he can do something like run over to a vending machine and get some cigs. His convenience doesn't outway the multiple inconvenienced people.

Well, so far 1 year has turned into 5. I just can't seem to leave. I know that when I go back to Hawaii my snowboarding dayz are pretty much over. Lifer?....not sure!

db, what did your "funny place for a penis" statement mean?" Do you know what big melons are? db, my poor girl, you really are just getting started in this world aren't you?

Wink? Unprecedended! What exactly to the sheilas do with a winkin' willy?

That's my best guess!? Hey Markie, I gave you a 5 though!

badmigraine, your out of the box...no pun intended comment cracked me up!!

Oh yes, willy waves.....

Hey cheese, have you ever tried frying up some cheese in a gyoza wrapper? good stuff! A creamier cheese is best.

Snowboard or try both (rent). Whichever you decide, do know that they are very diff activities. I'd listen to the people who have done both then decide.

Markie, sorry pal, didn't salute....just waved!

db-chan, I see you are capable of dissagreement as well. I want to complain about people who complain about people complaining. Japanese legal system. Discrimination towards the disabled is unbelievable in my opinion. That's my complaint.

Be proud big melons! the stares are envy, lust, or curiosity....or perversion. Gaijin guys get stared at too in the onsen....especially by the old people. One time a friend and I (we're both blond too) were at a sento near Kyoto and the women worker actually went and got her daughter to come and give us a look while in our birthday suits.

Ocean, where you from? Just want a perspective of where you get your beliefs. You're obviously anti-American...that's fine. But stand up and tell us all were you get your remarkable morals. It must be from a country that does no wrong. I wanna go there. Ray, leave me out of your ( ) sections. I'm not an example. Talk to me directly if you've got a problem. Aaaaiiiittt!

Why db? What offended you? Is arse more appropriate? Don't condescend 'around here.' Please

Fattwins, your simplification of the war is getting annoying. US foreign policy is to "blow up little boys and all his limbs....bomb nations into submission..."?? Look, you come from a country that sits on its wealthy ass and does nothing for the world but wish to be France. Canada supported the sanctions too! It wasn't about starving kids to death. What are you a moron?

Ray, well said!!

Why Gifu? I've only been to Dynaland but still..why Gifu? It seemed crowded and expensive to me.. Let me suggest w/ the exception of Zao, any of the majors in Tohoku! Gomen Zao fans but the price ain't right and the lifts are way to far apart for snowboarders.

I'd really like to know why ya'll that are here chose "here" to come to! Some dayz I actually question myself "what are you doing here, Kintaro?" AET, Indosnm, frannyo - why Japan? Why do people come to this country in favor of there own?
