That might actually be a Good thing in terms of potential visitors not getting bombarded with the gloomier stuff we are getting day in day out.

Those kind of days suck. At least if you are an employee, you are getting paid!

He wasn't in a good state his last years apparently. We still have his great show to enjoy.

I tend to create new folders and shover stuff into there. It's like a Russian Doll thing, folders within folders full of unorganised stuff. Very stop gap.

Very interesting.

I would like one that covers all of the resort in Hakuba and Otari. Please. Or, even better, one that covers all the resorts in Nagano, Niigata and Gunma. About 50,000 yen please.

Anyone on here work at a NAUGHTY school?

I voted Not Guilty, thought I'd just say that.

I managed 4km last night without stopping. Slowly and out of breath. It's a starting point I suppose.

I got rid of a few old computers that I was hording for some unknown reason. Anyway, I took them to a local place that gets rid and recycles and they weighed them. I paid by weight rather than a set cost for each. I think I paid about 4000 yen.

They're saying now that No1 started going into meltdown 4 hours after the tsunami on March 11th.

With all those tsunamis off Fukushima, it's a good bet they won't be running.

Mission Impossible 4 will be out this summer I think. Watching some of the old tv series at the moment.

I see the "new Beetle" has been unvelieved. Ah, the Beetle. Used to have one and loved it. Many memories there. And the modern ones are looking quite good too, if perhaps losing a bit of their Beetle-ness.

I just wanted to post a thread on how touched I am and how admirable I find the Japanese spirit (for want of a better word) when faced with something like this. Not even the faintest whiff of any unrest or looting or anything negative like that. It should be normal, but I suspect it would not be like that everywhere. I'm not the best with words and wish I could express it better but...I think it's wonderful. > ---- THE elderly and exhausted Japanese survivor was carried by piggyback into the medical centre and gently placed in a chair.

Thats disappointing to hear though all the same.

A day and a bit and you can see the peace park/museum, eat hiroshimayaki, and see Miyajima. Its only four hours from Tokyo if they let you on the Nozomi. 18000 yen (ouch!) each way normally. Good point. I'd make the most of the chance.

Looks terrible. Some Japanese caught up in it by the looks, so that getting a lot of attention.

How much coin was it?

Stupid people are funny.

Watching 'Damages' (tv series) at the moment. Legal drama with Glen Close. Good stuff.

But the dudes on the last page seem to be saying conditions were pretty good. They just being silly?

Dust on crust Good phrase that!

Suntory Diet. Actually getting quite used to it. Normal beer tastes strong now
