The medical in our area is free until they are about 12, which is helpful. I found that many people will give you alot of clothing and toys, including alot of brand goods. Although sometimes it is not exactly what you had in mind for your child. As Indosnm said the grandparents always help out to. Plus I make alot of meals for our daughter, from fresh local produce given to us by friends. So far it has been relatively inexpensive! Please note I said so far, we have a long way to go. My lifestyle hasn't change a great deal, a few sacrifices but hey its worth it.

Waxing the snowboard
sakebomb replied to tsondaboy's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
The one I scored is a board/ski waxing iron specifically made for waxing your gear. Just put the wax inside give it a minute and of you go. I haven't been to a shop to get my board waxed since I came to Japan. Doing it myself is more rewarding and convenient. -

Good advice Telleboy. I actually found a second hand wax iron cheap, less than 1000yen in a used goods shop. Makes life easier and I don't have to destroy the house iron. It is a messy job scraping of but I bought a drop sheet from daiso so cleaning up is easier if you are doing it inside. -
And the world sighs in disappointment.

I had a job I really hated. So one day I ran up and said I couldn't work. I had no excuse prepared so when my boss said why can't you work today I replied with " I couldn't be bothered". His reply was I know how you feel, see you next week.No problems

I was thinking on starting a school on how to be a man. Beer drinking, cars, sex, sexual harassment, farting, looking like a lumberjack etc. Back to the old school,anti-metrosexual. If your interested in old fashioned man things. If your interested just call...!

Goddamn, connackers wasn't really prepared for that. Almost sh*t my pants! But still appreciated it. -
Kintaro, before I answer just one thing! Are you a cop?

I eat GoGo Kids, nothing great but it isn't full of sugar like the other cereals here. Most of the ones here, CocoPops, Fruitloops etc my parents wouldn't let me eat as a kid. Too much sugar, it's not healthy. I also found a good muesli, forget the name though!

Niseko
sakebomb replied to FrankelB's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Good point Toque! Last year they didn't start until about Dec 8th, though this was late. A little snow has settled on Mt Yotei though. -
Yeh, it works from here try this one if your interested! I like to ride my bicycle...!

Scary! We had a four up here last year the house swayed what seemed like a minute, I was terrified. I can't imagine what 6 would feel like. I just hope it eases soon and everybody will be OK.

Bad beer! I remember working in a restaurant in Australia and the liquer supplier had a Bud campain, cheap prices. So my dumb arse boss bought a sh*t load. After about 2 months we ditched 85% of it in the bin. Nobody liked the Bud! Nobody even wanted to take it home free of charge!

Job gripe...how many hours per day do you work?
sakebomb replied to badmigraine's topic in General off-topic discussions
On average I work 14hrs a week (contact work) plus the occasional gig at private English schools. Mon, Fri & Sun are holidays. Could do with more work though!! -
anyone use FLOW bindings?
sakebomb replied to dizzy's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I just ditched my Flows for some Drake Matrix. I used them for about 3 seasons. they work well with certain boots and suck with other boots (the combination sucks not necessarily the products) I recently bought Salomon boots which don't fit well. Sometimes I found the snow packed on the base plate which was p*ssing me off last season. I just wanted more adjustment as well and my Flows were limited. The newer Flow models are probably better. Dont't hate them just prefer more adjustment. -
Just came across this wacky idea! Who wants to go for a ride! Better than a mama charly!

A White sheet over your head, TA DA! A ghost!

How much snow piled up?
sakebomb replied to The Black Bear's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
I've seen it up around 4-5 metres driving a back road between Oshamambe & Niseko. Beautiful scenery! Some scenery to look at. -
Your first place this season?
sakebomb replied to rach's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Where ever opens first locally. Probably Yokotsu! -
Who wears the pants ......!
sakebomb replied to sakebomb's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Indosnm- About 167cm, a short arse gaijin. I suppose 'taking up' the legs like a pair of jeans is stupid idea, plus it is a pain in the butt with the inner boot cover. Thanks for all the advice. -
