Indo: Know exactly what you mean. To get anywhere here it's like 1 step back - 2 steps forward. You need to take a hit somewhere before you can get going. We're starting to pay into the Shakai Hoken plan from Jan, as we need to increase our expenses. Also starting a Taishokukin plan with the local Chamber of commerce (shite return). All should help when going for a housing loan. Receiveing cash is good, but like you say, it make you look bad if you hide too much. I know a sign writer in Miyazaki who was declearing about 1.8 mill a year, but was driving a porsche. Zeimush

Great game. Didn't think Woodcocks charge on Hodgson was late but can't argue with the yellow cards too much. I know we should kill the scots, but I think they need to get focused. Everyone is acting as if the GS has already been won.

They changed the rules so you could start with less capital, but you had to get it to 3mill in a certain time period (3 or 5 years). You really need to look at it carefully as there are big advantages to certain structures. If you are single and your moneyflow is cash, then being self employed is much better then forming a company as a lot of personal expenses can get written off. However almost everythig is counted as income and taxes can be steep once you start making good money. Main reason we formed a company was that I have 5 dependents, and by paying myself a salary at a c

O11: Don't think the US makes a quality drink of any kind does it? Is the Carlo Rossi the one that comes in the ball shaped bottles with a finger hook handle? Had a good Nihon Shu last night. Hakuba NIshiki something or rather, but the guy I was supping with says it 's not good for you as it has too much sugar in it. A friend brought over a bottle of Larinum SANGIOVESE DAUNIA (Italian Red). Good chick wine as it was very smooth. Lots of grit in the bottle though.

On CNN the other day when talking about babies. "Most woman don't realize they are pregnant until after conception".

He said that the snow wasn't coming yet, but we hada CM or so this AM when we woke up. Anyway, I went down today and got them changed, + an oil change (and filter change). So we're all set now.

Indo: Nope! We own a travel agency. (Hotel reservations for non Japanese visiting Japan)

Agree with you 100% Davo. The Pacific Panthers is a great idea. I can't understand the saffas getting an extra team as the 4 the had weren't theat flash. I don't think funding a Pacific team would be a prob though as the marketing value would be huge. They'd easily be the most popular team if the played their traditional style. The WC bid made a huge mistake making the Mori the head. His brand of back room dealings doesn't look good. He prob sat the other nations down in a room and threw money at them. The whole of NZ knew about the bid and we for the most part behind it. The cou

That's the one. I was gonna post a few more worthy targets but Uncle Sam may start to take an interest and launch a preemptive strike on Hakuba.

O11: We had capital saved from several years of doing it part time, so we haven't needed any financing. For us, the minimum to get registered was 3.6mill. (3 mill as capital (shares), and 60man for a bond lodged with the govt.. Apart from that it's just a matter of getting the Toki and teikan accepted by the Homukyoku. (That's what the wife is for). Best to get both done in as general terms as possible to cover any possible business activities. I imagine you'll need a guarantor for financing. I think they are more important than the actual business plan. Most bank tenchous can

O11: Taking us out would make you public enemy #1 on this board, as if you got us, you'd get snowbeds too, and where would all the ski bums stay then? Be a leader mate. Make a statement. E139.7435, N35.6945

Nah Mate. One word for the lovely little area in Hakuba where I now live, where there was snow on the ground when I woke up.

O11: Most of the Japanese books we used are more of a step by step guide through the registration process. (Toki, Teikan etc). Easy to find at any major book store. However most of the info is online if you google it. Model teikans etc are easy to download, an you just full in the gaps. From memory you have to go to the Homukyoku, Shiyakusho, and Zeimusho (twice to some place) One bit of advice, make sure everything is 100% correct (both in format, and detail) as it costs 30,000-40,000yen to change later. I've read a few "make your business a success" type books but the a

Davo: Right on mate. A pacific team would be a big draw card anywhere. Japan would pretty much have to pick a national team, but it would at least fit i with the season here. But I think the SANZAR boys looks at the pie and want to divy it up between them.

From experience: Anything under 500yen is crap. There's a few goodies between 500-1000yen that will not rot your guts too badly. Buy Oz wine if it comes with a cute little cork stopper (those things are bloody useful). Shop online at rakuten to good monthly deals at about 5,000yen for 6 botts. A somlier chooses the wines. If at all possible buy NZ wines cos they shit on all the rest. Merlot is a great wine. Usually 1,500-3,000yen a bott.

So your WMD program is just small time is it. You should be ashamed of yourself, saying you have a program and all is it is little 10 megaton fire crackers. Anything under 20 megaton is much like pissing on a electric fence. Not much fun, but make a good story in the pub. Maybe you should move into botulism or anthrax. Nows there a good little allatolah.

O11: Be nice. Lob a few at me if you like: 33.84N, 132.77E

Snowglider: I just google earthed your location. Amazing bit of software.

snowglider: You are a champion. I've been searching for downloads for ages.

Could try this: ROUTE 1 to Tehara ROUTE 8 to Maibara ROUTE 21 until you hit ROUTE 41. Then 41 all the way to Takayama. All free! Long trip.

I must be the sleezy one then. I read your name as weege-off. The ole mind is not to flexible these days.

BB: After the intial dissapointment of JP not getting it, I'm stoked it went to NZ. You gonna go? Gotta start reserving beds at friends places now eh? Prob do what we did last time in OZ and get as many pool games in on a 2 week tour or so (got to 5 games last time (2NZ games + JP v USA, and a couple of others).

NEW ZEALAND got it. Gotta say, not much news about it here in Japan. Would have been the lead story on all NZ news programs and Newspapers. Time to start saving.

Now I'm in trouble. Neko, my point (jokingly)was that some Japanese posters like to have sexy snow japan names. I saw the latest member was someone called "nicebreast" and when I clicked on the profile they were Japanese. Good on ya! Better than just picking the area you live in like I did.
