[Prep for the coming season.]

Lose a bit of weight and exercise is my main concern right now.

I don't believe I was implying that this doesn't happen in Japan. I was simply stating my opinion that I do not think it is a good idea.

Hey, but thank you so much for "telling" me.

Good luck anyway CB!

[What to do???]

I don't think it is a good idea for parents of students to have the private telephone numbers of school teachers.

 

More 'why is it a good idea'?

 

I don't think school teachers responsibilities should go that far. Do we have the private numbers of company employees, or the mayor, or the police, or the firemen?

[What to do???]

Sorry I missed that. Totally think it's a terrible idea but..

[What to do???]

Sounds terrible.

 

CB - how come the parents of the kids know your phone number? Is that a normal thing? I bet back home parents don't know the phone numbers of teachers at the school. Any problem and its call the school not call the teacher during late night!

[Getting through work you really don't want to do....]

I'm up for it today. It will be done. Just a coffee first....!

[Getting through work you really don't want to do....]

I have a lot of reports and things to do this week that I really REALLY don't want to do. Tedious work, not fun and other things pushing for my time. I just don't seem to be able to get going though as much as I know I must.

 

Any good strategies for kicking yourself up the backside to get things like this going?

 

 

[Happo-one - the pronounciation]

I always thought it was "1" - even called it that when I was there

 

[So, your planned first time...]

Furano, early January

[So how many days in the 2004/5 season]

I made it out for 11 days in total, would have liked more but difficult with work an' all.

[If you could choose, would you want a resort to be skier-only or snowboarder-only]

I know a couple with a young kid who are the same kkk.

 

There seems to be a few resorts that are really popular with schools. When I went to Shiga kogen I was surprised at how many there were there - I think more than half of the people on the slopes were school groups

[How old?]

29 last week

[Star wars 3 reviews]

I eventually got round to seeing it last night. Thought it was good, bet out of the last 3.

[Star wars 3 reviews]

Yes that would be him! (Do you know him?)

[Star wars 3 reviews]

My bro is really into star wars and in the us. He has seen the new one 3 times already - says it is so much better than 1 and 2. He seems to be pleased!

[Why you chose snowboarding or skiing?]

My parents were really into skiing and taught me from when I was a little one. So it's been skiing for me all the way.

[In Japan?]

I'm in Kanagawa.

[Skier or snowboarder THE POLL]

2 legs, 2 sticks

[earthquake]

I was. There are too many of these things.
