You make a good point, Pies.....I may need to re-classify!!

well no, monkeys have tails and apes do not. They are a bit like monkeys in that they have fur and forward pointing eyes, but then so do lions

Is the sumo on in Tokyo at that time Big Al? It moves around the country, I'm not sure of the schedule, but a loooooong time ago when I was first here, my friends visited in September-October time and I took them to the sumo in Tokyo.
Pretty much anywhere within the Yamanote line circle gives you easy/good access to anywhere else in Tokyo. Shinjuku is a good spot because a number of lines intersect there, giving you good travel options as well as loads of restaurants, bars etc

Hoping to hit Fantasy Island towards the end of next week.
My longtime student and mate Ian has got a full-time gig at Kiroro running ski ops amongst other things.
Nerys & I are doing branding and marketing for the resort, so I'll be living and spending most of my time there this winter.
Road tripping to central Hokkaido in December with Nerys to check out Furano, Kamui, Sahoro, Tomamu, Asahidake and Mt Racey.
And down to Hakkoda too hopefully.
Can't wait
woohoo…..any "freebies" for your local, SJ friends?!

big flakes of wet snow falling today when I got up……top of cars has a white, slushy layer on them
Of course nothing else is sett;ling and it'l turn to rain soon enough, but happy to see a tinge of white return to the streets -
Very wet snow has been falling on and off all day in Sapporo......maybe a bit more consistent up at Teine

Pretty cold day today, weather has been all over the shop, mainly stormy, alternating between rain and very wet snow

Ended up watching one called Mr Brooks last night which has Kevin Costner and Demi Moore in it. Odd movie it was.
is that the one when Costner is a successful businessman…….and a serial killer?

Watching a food programme.......annoys the life out of me the faces they pull and the over the top "sugoi's" and "umai's" they shout.....then the close up of the food, the way they shake it.......
