A cookbook!?!

Good beer that US one. Haven't had it in a while though must hunt some down.

Can't be bad doing that for lunch! Thanks for sharing the very pretty pics.

I'm going to be checking out more of places in Gifu prefecture this season I think.

You going to be out there taking those pics Mike?

You'd do better if you gave your topic a proper title. Aomori = Hokkoda doesn't it, generally?

Really like the look of that Sony one. Don't really know that much about Android but I am tempted.

It looks like we might be considering going to Niseko or even somewhere else over New Year. Either that, or just after. Wondering what Niseko is like over the few days of New Year? Fun? Anything special? Or just too crowded? Anyone who has been there over New Years, what you reckon? Cheers.

Lets hope they make it look a bit less of an eye-sore than most (all) other shink stations!

Is gear on sale yet?

I'm going to Zao thats all I know as of yet.

Going to check out Furano this season thats for sure. All others plans open.

I like Drop The Chicken. These kind of games are really fun, and cheap too so an impulse buy is really easy. Like the system.

Friends over there on holiday, and sent me a mail saying it felt pretty scary. Their first earthquake!

The good thing about the grind at this time of year is that there's lots to look forward to with fall and then winter on their way.

What is it with the 'going to the window each day' thing?

Good to hear, going to see that the weekend

What's the deal with that Boris Johnson dude? He gives the air of an eccentric nutty professor type!

Mine is set at 25. Sorry, can't do any better than that. I'll gambaru in other areas.

Apparently the 28 degrees number is the maximing of the range laid out by some law in the 70's. I think it said that a workplace needs to be between 17 degrees and 28 degrees throughout the year or something. So that's the maximum out of that range.

How long is it shut down for? Doesn't most of the US close for this weekend anyways?

Very sticky this morning. And I haven't even gone out yet.

Shizuoka was mainly about the tea. One of the main points I got from it was that there are hotspots that we were unknown until recently, as far away as 110km from Fukushima Daiichi. Due to the plume and rain. They visited this place in Tochigi and did tests where they found the levels of (whatever) to be above the 'safe limit'. Someone more scienfitic may wish to elaborate there. And there may well be more of these hotspots further afield, but that is unknown as tests are/have not being been done yet.
