What exactly is "obatarian"? Am I right in saying it refers to fussy old ladies? Or is the meaning something different? Thanks!

Hitman is going cheap in our local place - if anyone has played it, let me know worth a buy or not?

I've used it a few times, some good prices. If you ever consider buying something check out the prices on there to compare.

Any gamers out there into the GTA series and looking forward to San Andreas?

In the good old days, tennis players wore nice white things and none of these caps, silly shirts and skirts/pants and shoes. It should be stopped.

I saw one of these snow scooters things in a shop last night - 70,000 yen it was.

Thanks. Norikura or Royal Hill - how many mins drive about are those places? What do we want to do? Ski and board! Really, Just have a half-day/ day out, nothing extreme.

Ahem. November, surely?

I was thinking nearer than that, <30 mins, places that could be called local.

Sure do.

It is in, dadaaaaa, ENGLISH!! Excellent game, biggest problem though it that it is ROCK HARD. 2000 yen?!? Where? What else do they have?

I seem to become more and more addicted.

oops sorry, made new thread instead.

Got a friend in Matsumoto, so I might be going up there a few times. Whats the best resorts nearby? Are there any? Or is it just best to head up to the likes of Hakuba?

My main tast is to plan my holidays as good as possible to maximise winter fun. Not as easy as it might sound.

I just saw him on TV windsurfing. Crazy dude.

A CD of Japanese enka.

Phone number maybe, but email address is silly coz you got the mail right ther.e

Not following you there miteyak? Mine cost 4000 yen.

That was an interesting read. Quote: I mean, it has been a massive problem for the Japanese community since WW2 Perhaps a slight exaggeration there...

I make a killer "jambo aburage" with natto (just a bit!), onions and soy sauce, spices. How on earth do you say "jambo aburage" in English?!

"French-style" restaurants/meals here seem to be really popular especially with women. I can't see what the fuss is all about. The places I have been taken to that fall into the category all seem to be preposterously expensive, with preposerously small portions. And it all seems so pretentious. I've got nothing against French cuisine, so can anyone know any good French places here where I won't feel like this?
