  2. lunch is for girls men cannot categorize their eating by time we eat when we please and what we please grrr
  3. are awesome anyone go to the big huge massive one that i dont remember the name of but it is in kawasaki or ADORES in kamata? the best are GI Turfwild and all those horse racing/betting/raising games. and the game that i forgot the name of but you put the cards on top of each other i think same number on same number or same suit on same suit on same suit and see how long you can go. they had a newer version with a touch screen. and the one in kawasaki has the best blackjack game ever its like the only one in there and its really little and in the back left cor
  4. ill have to look into it more not that into it because none of my friends snowboard and only one ski's do any of you go to the game centers in japan? theres a huge one that is awesome in kawasaki and a smaller one (ADORES) that i chilled at alot last summer in kamata
  5. why is surf stuff so expensive in japan i saw shirts there for about 40 usd that sell here for 20 or less usd and surfboards there costing more than a little over 100,000 yen ?!?!!? really good boards in the US run about 500 bucks
  6. doubtful but i thought it would be worth asking any places to ride in the summer?
  7. do you speak fluent japanese? ive never been there in the winter but i was in hakuba last summer and the place was dead it might pick up in the winter but it looked like there were a lot of places that were built for the olympics then everything went back to normal and the places are barely/rarely used and starting to appear run down. maybe try visiting and walking around asking people?
  8. haha yes i live very close to towson and am at my grandparents in towson right now do alot of people go BC over there? i dont think its that big at the resort mountains here because if the ski patrol catches you they clip your ticket and kick you out atleast for the day. plus its alot of hiking and rocks and trees? sounds fun to get into though.
  9. wow almost all of you must have been talking about skiing because the only brands i recognized were oakley smith rossignol and burton i look at whatever looks like the highest performance for a reasonable price and buy new stuff leftover fro mthe previous season so it is super discounted (about 40%) Rome snowboard K2 bindings Salomon boots i bought that whole set up for around 700 USD thats like 77,700 yen all top of the line stuff is that less than it would cost in japan ?
  10. just for vacation im near bel air, about 20-30 minutes southwest. i go there frequently! last summer i was up in hakuba by happo and i have a few stickers and stuff i rode a couple gondolas and stuff and checked out some mountains but the place was pretty empty in the summer. does anyone know how much the average lift tickets cost? when i was in japan i heard that snowboarding equipment costs alot more there than in the united states and i didnt know if lift passes were the same way.
  11. hey im new and jsut starting to look into snowboarding in japan. which is better? which is less crowded? is the cost about the same? middle honshu (hakuba area) or resorts on the northern island of japan?
