Yes the amazing ability of lots of people here to sleep and then wake up just at the right time is incredible. I read/listen to music. -
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- China's top legislative body has approved a resolution that authorizes Beijing to use military force to prevent Taiwan from declaring its independence. The measure, passed on Monday by the National People's Congress, "represents the common will and strong determination of the Chinese people to safeguard the territorial integrity" of China, NPC chairman Wu Bangguo said.

It's something in the UK, tie it up for a few years and get the guaranteed %. Not sure of the fine details, not interested to be honest. I'm just interested in my guaranteed %. I think its one of the high street building societies. (?) I'd have to ask me dad about details as he is looking after it. -

Revisiting The Matrix

More than that, it's just plain annoying. I wasn't trying to understand it in a deep way ---- just trying to understand the movies. Thats all! -
stupid question?
SplendidSeekerOfMatferon6 replied to sava's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
GOOD question! -
I really liked the first one. For one reason or another I only got round to seeing 2 and 3 in the last week and I've got to say I'm almost bewildered at how tedious they were.

Is it a good pub? I heard the Japanese is going private soon, and they're spending ridiculous amounts of public tax money on 'advertising' that. -
I don't know any Japanese swear words. I try not to swear in English too much. Seems a bit silly when you think about it.

Anyone else have any? I was taken to a place called Kayama Captain Coast in Yuzawa with a group of Japanese colleagues. I just don't know why they chose that place, but it was dire. Basically 2 runs one which is almost a cc course it's so flat. Iwappara (I think that's what it was called) just across and on the way looked much better. And to think I (indirectly) paid money for that. Any other places to really avoid?
