Ah I see. I'm surprised (or maybe not) that Myoko didn't get a station. It will very nicely spoil the Myoko countryside though, hey?

That does have me confused after seeing the length of track I did yesterday and its position - it seemed to be going from the Nagano region towards Nozawa. I'm sure it will make sense when it's all built and looking pretty

I only just avoided a bad crash the other day in one of those blizzards. The guy in front - about 10 meters but could not be seen - didn't come out of it as well.... he had to be taken to hospital (broken something or other). Very nearly me. I'm not going to drive unless its absolutely necessary next time it is like that.

I was driving near Iiyama today (northern Nagano) and noticed them putting up the but ugly new shinkansen..... those things just look so bad.

BEST SKIER HERE

I can't imagine wanting to spoil a day on the snow by being drunk. I'll wait until the evening.

That sounds very much like a famous hotel company I know.......

I once drank some shampoo when I was totally drunk. It took me a while to notice by which time some had gone down.

Quite a lot this last season, timing was good.

Just a disclaimer before I get shouted at.... I'm not from England. >>>>> England has the best supermarkets there is. I have lived in many countries and food is a big part of what I do (it's my business), and the size, choice, freshness and quality of food in the big supermarkets in England is very hard to beat. I don't know anywhere that beats them anyway.

I had NO holidays. The good part of that though is I have tomorrow until Thursday off now

More than 20000 peeps - tell us more! Are they a few big nights out every month?

This part: "You should phone a few of the resorts and ask them if they have any courses for teleskiing and go to the ones that do. They generally don't advertise them on thier websites so its best to phone them and ask directly"

Why don't they generally publicise this then?

Unicef is the one I generally give to. A friend is working for them so I hear a lot.
