Mama without the tank top ...

Would you go for the normal PSP or the Go?
I like the look of that new DSi large version, much better than those small screens.

Not mad into park myself but Alts positions itself as one of the best in Japan for that.

Japan seems to have this never ending gift giving thing going on.
Give something to someone, and you get something back in return. Does it stop there or is it just the first steps on the road to never-ending gift-giving cycle?

Incredible shots. Never thought Gunma could provide that.
Definitely interested in checking that place out.

Love seeing scenes like this. And then getting my board on. This weekend should be sweet.
-
I'd be interested to check that out too. Not in my part of the world though and can't get that time off.

Anyone on here ventured over to Alts Bandai this season? Might be going soon good resort and nice park.
-
Thanks for sharing that Metabo. Might get there next weekend.

Not too far away sprouts-dude. I am near Utsunomiya, to the north.
Where do you ski? I'm going to check out Hunter soon too.

Very nice. Would love to go and that just might get me to. If I win of course.
-
haha. BUT will anyone else care, other than the anoraks.

Fine images
Thanks.

Fine updates SJ folks. I will look forward to using it all in winter.
Otsukaresama.

Not bothered about numbers just the more the better.
More than 15 would be good though tough.

Just checking in from up there in Utsunomiya... getting much cooler now. Just about right I'd say.

These people are just funny>>
First came an $85bn government bailout. Then a storm over bonuses of $165m for senior executives. Now insurance firm AIG is in hot water again – because its newly appointed boss is spending most of his first month working from his sprawling villa overlooking Croatia's Adriatic coast.
Robert Benmosche, ex-head of the US insurer MetLife, became chief executive of AIG on 10 August but went on holiday just days later, to oversee the grape harvest at his vineyards to the north of Dubrovnik.
The 65-year-old executive's absence from the insurer's headquarters so early in his tenure has surprised Wall Street. But tracked down by a Reuters reporter yesterday, Benmosche was unapologetic.

Great set of photos there.
I've been around those temples probably close to 10 times now and don't get bored of them.
-
There's only one thing for it. Quit work!

Here's to an even better one next season in Niseko and a level up from last season elsewhere.

I always take a few bars of chocolate with me and don't often stop for lunch, often seems like a waste of time.

Last night I was taking a walk round where I live after a hard days work. Just 1km or so from my house and you are in total inaka - rice fields and not much else. There are hardly any cars come by, if any but last night this big car pulls up behind me and the window goes down. Turns out this lady, probably in her 50's wanted some directions and she was halfway through her sentence when she realised that I was a, shock horror, gaijin. You should have seen the look on her face. It's like the look some shop assistants give you when noticing your gaijin-ness x50.
I managed to explain the route to her but it was quite funny.
Any other good examples of you shocking people to the bone because of your ever so gaijin-ness?
For those living in ski towns - what are the conditions like now?
in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
