But my advice would have been the same.

Didn't give any, John-San, you silly plonker!

Ryokan Sakaya is lovely, I have stayed there. I would imagine it's hard to book, so yes BOOK BEFORE NOW!

Great wheels, man!

Coincidence! Coincidence!

No! If it's supporting Abenomics, I'm all for it as I'm sure other fellow Abenomics fans are. Luckily, all the price increases are balanced out by all our salaries here in Japan going up considerably. Again, thanks to Abenomics.

I'm really pleased to see that lots of skijo seem to be increasing the prices of their lift ticket prices, even though it's only usually by around a few hundred yen or so. Hopefully the price of curry-rice and ramen will also increase. And beer too. One would also hope that the rises will continue next year, with the further increase in consumption tax and everything else getting more expensive.

I for one jolly well can't imagine that there has been any wrong-doing going on! After all, she's a politician and one of Shinzo's gang!

Sadly, we can't confirm that.

But, snowjunky, we really need to see the thimble though.

Very good point 634-maru. We need to keep the photos in this thread all showing the monkey (or other creature) at least interacting with a bucket or other container. Feel free to create a different thread for all other photos not containing such containers.

Ouch, that's a chunk of unexpected. BTW, how is the doggy?

Well look the ipad just got thinner again at the same price, so it must be a good thing. I for one wish the consumption tax had gone straight to 10% instead of all this faffing about with 8%. Who can do the calculations in their head?! Not me, that's for sure. Unless something is 100 yen. I bet Shakey would be a whizz at it, but we can't all be like the Welsh Wizard. Let's not complaining and jolly well embrace all that Abenomics has to offer!

What do you mean with that last bit, Sir?

If that cheese is as smart as the name, it will surely be worth an increase too Metabo Oyaji!

That's a very good point, Metabo Oyaji! it would certainly have been a good idea to increase the price. I'm sure people would understand, even with the increase in fannying about related to such an increase.

Well, that will surely be a more compact bit of packaging, therefore we can perhaps fit more of them in the fridge. Plus there'll be no fannying around with a change in price too. So, in conclusion, I would say that's a jolly good thing.

That's jolly exciting! Does that mean though that the lifts may be stopped due to the excess of snow or Niseko Wind ©?

So the lifts opened this morning then?

Peetan, if you ordered some pickled beetroots from snowdude, you'd probably end up getting sent some marshmallows in a box. Or anything else that does not happen to be pickled beetroot. Just joshing snowdude.

You calling me fat?!

Did Japan beat Brazil last night? I can't find any information on it. No matter how hard I try.
