Got a helmet this last weekend but thats about it re: protection. You're right there are so few helmet wearers here. See a helmet and you can go up to the guy and talk English, good chance they are gaijin!
I never even knew about these wrist guard things.

I always chuckle when I see my bank statement here that has something like 10 yen interest on the cash I have in my normal account - an account where there is usually anywhere between 200,000 and 800,000 yen at any one time. Pathetic.

I'm the opposite, I get them with less alcohol. I try to drink as much water as possible before sleeping if I have drunk a fair bit. Having said that I've not been totally out of it for quite some time now.

They have been talking about that one for a long long time. Apparently they aren't going to try and hide the fact that Mr Ford is now an OAP. They were also talking about maybe Sean Connery reprising his role as well.

Fishing.
Anko.

Why is that place seemingly so popular with guests from Hong Kong? (Or is that image I have of it mistaken?)

You can usually rent everything you need as above, and different prices. Check here for an example.

Yep it will have to wait until overseas DVD that one I think. I am interested in seeing it though, that along with the other one they made side by side.

I quite like Ishiuchi. If you go when the snow is in good condition and not too busy, thats a long run from top.

I'm working as much as I can (holidays are just 30th-3rd) and taking my time off in mid-Janaury.

They have probably already spotted it. There's a guy I work with who has possibly the worst ever, in the world, in history. You can clearly see the layers, the colors don't match and as well as that it is just the worst shape possible. It looks like it is on in the wrong place
I'll have to get the camera out

The post office seem to have recently changed the way they structure their rates (well for sending money home anyway). I'm not sure if it works out better or worse than before, but it seemed worse. I need to sit down and work it all out.
The banks just seem to rip you off full stop.

Merry Christmas from Merry Jim!

Our family used to have a real tree but now it's a rather large and very nice looking artificial tree. It doesn't sing though..

Neal there are literally hundreds of resorts in Japan and a LOT that fit your vague specs there. It is probably best to get a general idea of things and then ask more specifics. Have you had a read round the site first?

Funny stuff indeed.

Another reason I'm switching to skiing

What to get a copy of all the lovely jpop?
-
I'll let you know how it goes!

I like yellow.
Where will you be nighta-ing in Tohoku?
-
I am by no means an expert, but I also don't 'suck' at snowboarding. I just wanted to learn skiing that's all, it's that simple. If I can do both, that's a good thing.
-
How many times have you been gamera for that? I found it curious when a friend of mine had to have something done at the dentist and no kidding he had to go like 4 times over a period of 2 weeks for some reason.

Yes ok. Just replace to words "ski poles", with "stocks" or "misery sticks", then. Hopefully then the meaning of my question will become fully clear.
