Can you vote? I'd go for the one with the most microphones taped together.

May have to break up the 30s into zenhan and kohan. I've just slipped into the kohan. I'm off to Tokyo this Fri night for a night on the town. Great chance to see if the SUKEBE reflexes are still OK. One more for ya. The Oyaji seal gets broken earlier as the years go by. Once that first piss is req'd then it's a trip to the head every 5-10 minutes.

Yama: Been thinking over night. Even Oyaji fall into ranks. In your 30s you are still mildy interested in スケベ behaviour, 40s sees this drop off, while Oyaji in the 50s would much rather just have another Shochu. It's all to do with hormones. Years of drowning your testorone with the beer or shochu hormone does this to the good Oyaji. By the age of 60 most oyaji peckers are just valves to release pressure and allow the input of fresh beer and shochu hormones. The good Oyaji has by this time scored a good Mrs. Oyaji who is qute prepared to clean up the mess when the pecker valve opens

giggsy: A "man" is kind of a dumpling. In the center it has a little bit of meat or other flavoring. Niku Man - Meat dumpling Pizza Man - has a pizza mix in the middle Curry Man - has curry flavor. Conv. stores etc sell them here in the equiv. of a pie warmer. The dough makes up about 90% of the thing and it tastes like rubber. Which is why a lot of gaijin hang out for pies which are not easy to get.

Tireless, It's probably easier if you decide which resort you are going to be mostly at and then find accommodation near there. Theres plenty of accommodation of all types at the bottom of each resort. soubriquet is right. If you are planning to be mostly at Goryu or 47 then Gamera's place may be the best bet.

Not really stealing but we have a problem with people forgetting to hand in their room keys when they check out. We get a frantic call from the hotel and have to try and track down the key.

5 out of 5. The perfect oyaji!! Prob qualify as a スケベ as well, but you cant relly getinto too much misceeif up here due to lack of people.

Happo/Shiga Kogen Season pass info is out. 70,000yen for both. Limited to 1,000 passes this yeat.

Hokkaidough: I'm 3 posts ahead of you mate. Race you to 100!!!

Hokkaidough: You ever been to China? Was in the middle of the desert and found a public loo. Was 4 holes in a concrete floor, no walls etc. 4 guys were squatting, doing there biz, and passing a smoke around. They all finsihed up quickly when I walked in. Just as well as I had a bad case of the runs after eating a bento that had a whole chicken head in it the day before.

Got a Mrs Mac Pie wooly hat that was a free giveaway at a BP service station in New Zealand. (My folks are cheap). It's gonna see some action this season.

33 Trying to pee at a JR station while the obasan is cleaning the next urinal. Which remids me. Why is that the women staff at onsen freely walk into the mens bathhouse, but a guy can't do the same in the womens?

Is this a gaijin issue or an illegal parking issue. If you'd been Japanese would have have reacted the same way?

It's alway suprised me how little retraining teachers do here. It's kinda like once you've got your teaching liscense then the learning stops. I've only been in the private school system, but at the school I was working at the English dept consisted of 7 full time teachers. 2-3 were actually trained English teachers. The others were a PE teacher, a woodshop teacher, and a social studies teacher (and me). I have no idea how these guys, with no background in English, managed to teach full courses in English. They were given no support or training at all. Just sent into the classroom.

So is English going to be a regular subject, getting the same time and attention as say math and social studies? Or is it going to continue as a gimmic subject with the gaijn sensei coming in one a week or so?

Not quite this bad.

NPM: Always a tosser or two about. I got the same line while hiking on Yakushima from a uni. student. Good thing was that his mates told him to pull his head in and apologized right away.

Was there last week and she was a beauty.

Fatty: These gits are all over the show. I've found a cheesy "I don't know what the f__k you're talking about" grin and shurugged shoulders is the best reply. No matter how long you are here, you're always gonna get these jerks. Thank god they are becoming a very small minority.

Gams: I've been at the Echoland Festival since 10 this AM. Free drinks and food!! What can I say. A bit too much of the　日本酒 Trying to get my posts # up

Gams sounds friendlier than Gam.

If you understand the security settings it shouldn't be a problem. It's no different than staying at a hotel with an inroom broadband connection. I've stayed at hotels before and have been able to access other guests computers as they have free access to their shared folders. All you need to do is control access to the stuff on your computer. If you are using Windows then check out the MS homepage.

Gams: Your English is great. I can't iamgine anyone having a prob with your place.

Biggest I've been in is a 5 on the Japanese scale a couple of years a go in Miyazaki. Sacred the crap out of me as it went on for the best part of a minute. Rounding up the kids is a heck of a job in an emergency.

Micc: Gams and Fattwins are right. With 24 Pax and gear you prob need what is called a chuugata (mid size) bus in japan. PM me if you need a quote.
