Just seen my mate on a TV show on NHK BS1......bit of a surprise as I didn't know he was going to be on.....but it was the Cool Japan one with a bunch of gaij talking about "cool" kids toys.....of course they were all suitably amazed by kendama......WOW!! I'm gonna give my mate some shit next time i see him:)

And to think I thought you were a stand up guy!! Spent this afternoon supping pints of Yebisu Creamy top in Darwins pub in Sapporo....600¥ for a pint during happy hour makes it about the same price as back home

Funny, I used to live in a housing scheme called Charleston and everyone always recommended living somewhere else!

Actually so would I. If it was possible to compile a list of willing SJers before the live plug is pulled to allow their email address to be put on a list that is sent out once to those who have given their consent.....that'd be awesome to keep in touch.

NOOOOOOOO!!! I'm devastated at the news, I shall have to fill my day with real stuff to do now!! Of course saddened at the news but in the number of years I've been posting here I fully appreciated all the help, info and giveaways you guys provided. Onwards and upwards guys, otsukare

sunny today

no, no of course not…..all suggestions are great of course…..I just thought it might be a bit far from anything else. its all good Michkin

Faux champagne.....I like it. There's a pizza place in Sapporo that does a 1500¥ nomihodai that involves faux champagne......I like it a lot

She must be getting on these days tho, no?

30 mins east?!! In Chiba? That's way out there....you'd be better staying down in Yokohama if you didn't want to stay in Tokyo but be nearby.....much more to do in Yokohama than Chiba.....unless you were wanting to be close to Narita of course

looks fun! I've done some sand-boarding before

Yeah they seemed to hook us with the big bottle, then when we clamored for more, reduced our dose…..for the same price

isn't there a resort nearby? I was watching one of those TV shows where they restore old machines, based in Vegas and they were commissioned to go up to a resort nearby and make a display chair out of an old chairlift for them.

Duct tape

Watching the White Silk Road.....the Aussie boarders in Afghanistan....pretty cool seeing the kids get their first view of snowboarding and the eagerness to try it. Pity the rest of the place is messed up cos it'd be an interesting place to ride
