probably myoko suginohara...
-
it even snowed in ishikawa! made a nice break from the constant rain...
-
i won one too
but it came too late for the trip i had organised to arai 
but am 80% definate that i will use it on another occasion (maybe the long weekend).
if not, would be happy to pass it onto someone who will! would be a shame to waste it...
-
last weekend i went to nozawa with friends and they booked our ryokan with the ryokan association there. i get the impression that there might be associations like this in most touristy areas?
im sure you would need to speak japanese, but it might be a good way to find accommodation in a particular area?

sorry, cant help you with the jobs thing, but there were definately more than 8 CIR jobs available last year. we got more new CIRs than that in my prefecture alone...
-
i suck too, got 6 correct and they were the ones i wasnt sure of!
-
im leaving too, after two years here. am going to miss the snow like crazy! dont think oz has much to offer compared to japan!
but like shimba, am thinking of heading to canada to work for a bit... im definately not ready for the real world!

by myself and loving it! having nobody to clean up after makes me
im dreading going back into shared when i leave japan this year...

yeah gamera, i imagine he was training her. but i still felt he was being a bit mean, she was so little and struggling! however, at least he wasnt hitting her with his ski poles...
-
all so
and true at the same time!!! -
last weekend at naeba i saw something similar, although not quite as bad...
...a dad teaching his daughter to ski, she was crying, unable to get up and kept slipping over, but he wouldnt help her. pretty mean of him in my opinion.
surely learning to ski should be fun and not such a big deal!

staying local, probably toyama! yay to no crazy early (b4 6am) mornings...
-
speaking of avatars...
34 guests - is that you in your avatar? if so, neat trick!
-
dont walk and eat or drink...its not done here!
this was my hardest habit to break, although i still cheat sometimes...
-
i stayed at shinzenkan backpackers at christmas and would highly recommend it!
its clean, the rooms and facilities are good and the owners/staff are ultra friendly!
-
my super eats all day, which would be fine except that he makes disgusting sounds when he eats and he hoiks (sp?) after every bite. makes the office an uncomfortable place to be!
-
i agree. i was there yesterday and thought it was awful! the kagura mitsumata side was much nicer and a lot less busy...Quote:Originally posted by tsondaboy:
naeba on weekends! -
massive attack for me too! plus jack johnson...nice and mellow!
-
i used to live behind a small church in london (but didnt realise it was there when i moved in!), it drove me crazy when the bells when off on a sunday morning after a big night out!
-
kagura mitsumura, with some japanese friends/workmates... its my first time there, hope its ok!
have a nice weekend everyone!
-
sorry gamera, no offence intended...i know i am generalising!
to clarify a little, i think many j-guys in the city (well at least in kanazawa!) look quite 'feminine' to me, because of their hairstyles, clothing and as you mentioned, many are quite slim...
...however, on the mountain things are a little different!
-
i suppose theyre growing on me the longer i am here, but mostly i find japanese guys a little too feminine looking.
to be honest, i dont think i could be interested in someone that spends more time on his hair than me!
-
sounds right, the japanese people on the gondola were talking about them too!
they looked pretty interesting...
Naeba, Sat, busy
in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry

is naeba always busy? was really busy when i went there as well. uncomfortably busy in fact.
