I wish i still lived in new zealand, they used to celebrate it, but they don't here in Austalia. Because fireworks are illegal! Except in one tiny state of ACT. ROAD TRIP!

Its a nice drink, but seems imported beer has dropped in price recently ive stopped What's it cost in Vicco steve? Same as Coopers? Last time i checked it was b/w $17-$19 bucks a 6-pack! Coopers has got way cheaper in the last couple of years, its always on special for about $14 if memory serves.

Koalas - They get drunk off eucalyptus oil from the gum leaves they eat and sleep for something like 20 hours a day. They also get carried around as babies and spend most their time in the sun doing nothing

Just saw 'Green Street Hooligans' , its really violent but a great moive. About an American (actor of frodo in lotr) who goes to an rough English town and gets involved in the organised fighting life of soccer hooligans. Its en eye opener i guess cause it really happens.

I think they are trying (maybe superficially) to combat carbon emmissions cause they are persuing a massive nuclear power program. There's always that debate that its unfair to take shots at developing countries for industrlialisng when most western countries experienced this some time ago. China might be an exception cause of its sheer size though.

this may sounds stupid... but seems helicopters are far beyond the purchasing power of most of us, i wonder if anyone could use one of those handgliders with a small motor on it? or maybe a hovercraft like they do on lakes! i can see them both working in the right conditions wack a pair of skis on this badboy and you're set!

This is so good, 2 years from now and i'll have my uni degree and plan to teach English in Japan

As for riding high... isn't the whole point of snowboarding or skiing to get that natural high you feel when you're racing down through the trees or waiste deep in powder? Cause that would definitly be the best high for me. Quote: Originally posted by KlingKlang: I had a few beers once and it totally wrecked the day. Not again, I'll leave the beers for the evening I had a bad experience on australia day last year.. ended up wrapped around one of those tiny japanese toilets and was so ill the next day i missed the best powder day of our trip! I LEARNT A VALUABLE LESSON

Arnold has got SO FAR its CRAZY... Mr. Universe Arguably the most popular action movie star Mayor of California (Which is like a country in its own right) Quote: Originally posted by 2pints,mate: More scary is this Rocky VI (2006) NO WAY! i gotta find out about that one

its my girlfriend's 20th on the 5th of feb, so i have an... economic... interest on it being around then! fattwins , are you in hakuba the whole season? i remember you mentioning starting your own place there, hows that going?

Restaurants - the best (and extremely popular) 'Band Bang' is an awesome Korean BBQ place, also a definite must, my favourite by far! make sure you book a couple of days before though! lots of beer, chicken, squid, crab, vegie ect. on squewers there is a mongolian one you definitely check out, its a big tent, can't rememeber the name of the top of my head but you'll find it easily by asking when you're there. great food! looks small but big once you're in! pow pow - run by aussies, ok for pub food and gets fileld with aussies at night, gets big on australia day hank's bar

can i bribe the party to early feb with some aussie reds?

uses of the word f*ck!

sounds good Bonio it'll be a blast!

Snowbenny - I think i saw your posts on ski.com.au also, i'm arriving at Snowbeds on the same night as you so we will definitely meet for a few beers and hopefully a ride. That goes for anyone there at the time, can't beat making mates travelling. I'll be riding 47, but seems im there for 10 days i'd love to hit up Happo also. Misorano, i like that offer! If its ok i'll take you up on that too

Hey Bonio, i'm staying at snowbeds in early feb so its definitely open! I booked about 3 months ago but at that time it wasn't booked up at all, its closer to the season now so i hope you can get a bed, i'm sure there would be something!

dammit we slipped down to 2nd this year! And people still move to the United States...pfft!

They have moved to Princess Park, which might be next to Optus oval i think, its in Carlton. Here is the 1st announcement! I love the first 5 bands, i was kinda hoping it wouldnt be this good cause i'll be missing the headlines to get to the airport! INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AUSTRALIA & NZ The White Stripes Iggy & The Stooges Franz Ferdinand Kings of Leon The Mars Volta Soulwax AFI 2 Many DJs Sleater-Kinney The Magic Numbers ANTIPODEAN ARTISTS AUSTRALIA & NZ The Living End Gerling Dei Hamo AUSTRALIA ONLY Magic Dirt

niseko has a fair amount of aussies, but when i put it in perspective its not THAT BAD, its got lots of nice bars and consistent powder... not that im saying don't look elsewhere

Is the night skiing at 47/goryu anything compared to Niseko's?

go see them! you won't regret it! on the topic of bands, what's a good site for Tokyo gigs, cause im leaving for tokyo the night of the Big Day Out (music festival in aus) and will miss some of my favourites! so hopefully they play in tokyo the week i'm there so i can still catch them

and you can't stop by without getting one of their massive parfaits! i went with another family and thats pretty much the single reason we stopped there lol

congratulations mate
