Every second song on the radio at the moment is them! It drives me nuts! My friend saw them snorting coke on their Australia tour backstage, this started my original hate for them as they promote themselves as being anti-drugs.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm still catching that bus though Spud! Just over $50AU each way.
I emailed Mitch just then, we'll soon see about card or cash. Snowbeds is sounding great Creek Boy!

Is it really that bad?
Maybe I'll have to get drunk.
Damn!
Don't have to worry about garlic! My mouth tastes terrible from wisdom teeth removal, at the moment garlic would be great to get the taste away! It's grose!

Shit yeah, I love that stuff I ate it non-stop both times I went. I have a menu of one scanned too! Hopefully I can find a joint that does it, I'm sure the Korean influence will be there somewhere.
Are you seriously taking a shinjuku -> hakuba bus over the shinkansen?! You must genuinely be poor students.
Yep, we've done a bloody good job at making an awesome trip cheap though! We managed to hook a nice Ryokan in Asakusa for 3,000yen each a night, then we have the (small) double at snowbeds. After Hakuba it's off to thailand where we can relax a bit with the money thank god! The worse part is my bro and dad just got back from Nozawa to rub it in. My brother got the full works... Shinkansen, all the beer (he brought back two 2L Asahi cans and one 3L Kirin!), awesome accommodation too! It's all about growing up though, I'll appreciate this trip a million times more, especially with my girlfriend -
Is runners high when you spend ages on the treadmill and feel like your about to pass out? I used to go to the gym a lot until a year ago, I realised having a mate with you really motivates you (especially a stronger mate), cause once my friend slacked off so did I... Going with 5 guys is even better, that's when everyone kills themselves trying to out-do eachother. Might be silly but it works!

Thanks guys. I had "Cash is King" stuck in my head before I posted this, thanks for jogging my memory spud, thought I'd heard it before! Paying for tickets and the bus up would cut out $500 each so that would be sweet. I like the sound of hundreds of basic places! I'll be spending big for my girlfriends b'day whilst there, if anyone knows some nice Japanese (or even better a nice Korea BBQ) in Hakuba please share! Cheers
-
Firstly I'd like to say thanks to all the members who have loaded me with advice in these forums, I don't think I could have pulled a half decent trip together without this website, seriously!
I have a couple of questions regarding money I'm stuck with. I'm travelling with my girlfriend, we are both poor students, and we don't feel safe carying too much cash over. (Due to our forgetfullness, not theft!)
To avoid taking so much cash we're trying to sus out what we can use our credit cards on. (Brand spanking new ones!
)To and in Hakuba, could we use our credit cards on...
1 - Shinjuku > Hakuba Bus Service
2 - Lift Tickets
3 - Accommodation at Snowbeds (?)
4 - Any Restaurants/Food stores
We've been told that paying on VISA card gets a similar xchange rate to when exchanging to yen in Aus. But taking cash out on the card gets a really bad rate. This post kinda goes on that assumption so I hope that's right!
Thankyou for any advice! My dad just got back from a week at Nozawa with my younger brother and they rated it twice as good as Niseko, I'm sure this goes for Hakuba too, the pictures were insane! I CAN'T WAIT!
Cheers,
Steve

Do other resorts have discount days like this?
(I'm cheap!)
-
Excellent! I've been trying to find this story, my Politics tutor read it on the first lecture. It's gold! Cheers
-
People probably thought you'd been in a fight!
It's been a week now since mine came out, there is zero swelling or bruising but a few of my front teeth and molers are aching like hell! What's with that? I think now the pressure of the widom's has gone they are trying to move already.(note - I had the worst teeth i've ever seen before I got braces and 5 years on I still have wires behind to keep them straight!)
There was a melbourne dentist on here maybe he can help! My dentist is closed right now unfortunately, I'm getting worried about infection and what not before the big flight to Tokyo.

Thanks Mike
Instead of making another thread I've got a quick question regarding the Keisei Limited Express from Narita to Ueno(1,000Y). I arrive at Narita at 7pm so assuming 90 minutes in customs there's about 5 more trains at 30 minute intervals to Ueno. Should I definitly reserve my seats? Do these trains get very packed? The info on the site is rather confusing, heaps of red tape about when you can reserve/claim them, and is also in reference to the Skyliner, not the "Other Line" which I intend on getting. Any advice would be great thanks.
Cheers,
Steve

They're pissers! I realised the whole time I used his voice in my head to read them too!
His concerts sold our really fast here, didn't get a ticket in time which sucks! Has anyone seen him live?
-
There is a strip which was innocent by day, but like a red light district at night. I don't know the name of it though! I still have some of the brouchures they handed to me... Someone will know what i'm talking about.
Some G-rated things to check out would be the fish market and Saporro brewery if you want a department complex (not the actual brewery we realised this too late)
-
I can't thank you enough Mike you've been a massive help. I sent you a PM, cheers mate

Which surgery are you at yuyuu?
Good info! I always though top wisdoms were worse!
-
Thanks BP, sounds like a plan.
If anyone has the time and can speak Nihongo could the check the site out for me please, cause if you're able to reserve simply by entering your details and pay on arrival I'll do that.
Cheers
-
Thanks to both of you for the quick help!
ugly - I didn't realise it was possible to reserve online thanks for pointing that out. Could I just get someone who speaks Nihongo to book the tickets for me under my name? And then pay in cash when i pick them up? Or do i need to give credit card details or pay when booking online?
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
I have been planning on getting the bus from Shinjuku to Hakuba and return this Feb and recently realised on the top-left of the website it says 'reservation'.
I tried asking if I could e-mail my reservation but like they website said, they told me to call the Keio Telephone Reservation Center. I did this but of course the service is in Nihongo!
Is it a must to reserve seats in advance? ( I can do it in person 3 days before catching the bus, is this plenty of time?)
If it's necessary should I ask someone who speaks Japanese to do this for me?
Any help is greatly appreciated! I try not to make question threads but i'm stuck. Thanks
-
*sighs*
I'll be 30,000 feet over the ocean! Hope everyone has a ball though!

Maybe it was subconscious Nihongo understanding!
Then again, apparantly the new 'C' is 'B'?

Do you have an appendix Bushpig!?

I'm really struggling to find cheap accommodation for next season in Nozawa, I'm looking for something in the 3-4,500 range, probably backpackers. Everything seems to be very expensive! Can anyone recommend somewhere? Thanks for the help,
