  1. Thats insane!

     

    The best deal I have experienced was 2000 yen for 2 hours. But I hate the way parties here have their official finish time - it's usually just when things are getting interesting that the cold damp cloth is thrown over proceedings!

    Sounds sad but I really hope there is a terror attack on Japan and that it's commited by Japanese, that would stick it up them!
    A sad thing to hope for, but no it wouldn't change anything at all apart from just being another issue/problem. Anyway, there have been terror attacks in Japan by Japanese already haven't there?
  3. I was round my Japanese friends house the other day and he showed me his first set of skis. Incredible they were, from many decades ago.

    Lund Skis made by Christian Lund: Christian Lund was a Norwegian immigrant who founded the Northland Ski Company in 1911 and was direct competition with Strand. There were plenty of skiers and few manufacturers, therefore much work for all. They had two factories, one in St. Paul Minnesota and later added another in Laconia, NH. Their first season they sold over 4000 Pair of skis. Most of his buyers were expert ski jumpers and racers. The 'nipple' or point on the tip of the ski (also known as a Norwegian or square tip) was originally designed to prevent maple skis from splitting down the ski, but also served as purposeful as skins were easily applied, and braces attached to maintain camber. This became fashionable and was used on most skis of the era. Northland however produced skis into the 60's. A fine early example of Lund skis, with a low serial number of 0096 and complete leather Trailmaster bindings.
    He was telling me lots of his stories.

     

    It made me wonder just how much the experience has changed.
