Hard call, put I guess if I was not really satisfied with the work too, I would be looking for a new one.

You are turning into a serial-poster.

See you when you are over, have a nice trip.

In the best case scenario (no trafic, highway all the way till Nagano or Matsumoto) I would say about 5 hours. Better think around 6-7 to be on the safe side.

Its a NEV 5.8 or 6, for sure no more than that because Its almost my hight and I am 5.6 (171 cm).

You ll most certainly be able to.

You are gonna go back to Aus next year and get bullied for all the strange habits you ll have picked by then.

I hope I ll be, I am a bit frustrated since last weekend. I am able to catch shoulder size waves on a longboard by now, but I could not catch a single wave all weekend on the shortboard (5.8).

I dont know about you guys but I make 100% solid quality posts. I never ever post nonsense.

Nearly time for one more of stems jokes, tension is rising!

I don't know about you but when I go back home I keep on bowing and everyone laughs at me... I remember a few years ago that I actually forgot my snowboard bag on the street. I was running to catch the last train so it didn't even cross my mind that I was missing the most important piece of my language. In any other part of the world, I would be probably out in the shops next day to buy a new snowboard. In Japan, the bus driver found it, traced me through my ticket and shipped it to me at home expenses paid by him!!!

You are right Jane, all of them had FOMA keitai's, though I am not so sure if you can just switch from FOMA to MOVA. If I get it right, FOMA is a different signal than MOVA (maybe digital or different coding). So switching to FOMA only is not just a mater of changing the transmiting frequency, but also compatibility of the Antenas. I think it involves some kind of adjustments to be able to suport the FOMA format, thats why for the time being AU is a bit better. Cant say about the future though. As for getting permission to work in the mountains, unfortunately I have first hand experience.

Yea yea, do a quick search on "rahul bhatnagar".

PS: anyone knows what happened to Rahul by the way?

How can you be that good, I envy you...

FT don't you also have AU, are you planing to change to Docomo? From my experience working in the mountains and not just skiing, were we need to have a cell phone with, AU has the best coverage around. The guys that come with me working and have Docomo cellphones given by their company, have only complains to make about its coverage in the mountains.

Yes we have an abundance in Aussies. But you sound like a nice lad so you are welcomed.

Yeah, it seems there is coverage only above the #1 high speed lift or below the Mitsumata Gondola, but not in the middle parts of the resort. Strange...

I can always spare 1-2 mins when I am hiking to send nasty mails to people at work.

I am planing a Tohoku trip this year. Maybe take a week of and drive all the way up to Aomori.

No way dude! You can surf in halfpants till the end of the month, last weekend it was like surfing in bathwater. It will take till October before you need a spring suit.

You should be able to get a second hand one for 10 - 20000 yen at a surf shop on the beach.

Bring your surfboard together, Shizuoka has some pretty good spots.

It takes 3 hours 20 mins from Shin-Oosaka station to Minobu and costs 11690 yen if you get a non reserved seat ticket, one way.
