I was using my Bibs for the first time at resort. Stoked. At the restaurant, I did my Farmer Dizzy walk holding my suspenders. Reminded me of the Funny Walking Contest we had out of the packed Kokusai Restaurant early last season. I am so gonna win the next one. farmer dizzy! that was really funny!

You can take an organised tour to the monkey onsen from Hakuba, but that's way more $$$ than making your own way there on public transport. You can take the bus from Hakuba to Nagano Station, then a train from nagano station to the train station nearest the monkeys. Here's a travel guide: "Getting there: Yudanaka Onsen is 40 minutes from Nagano Station by the Nagano Dentetsu Railway express or 70 minutes by local train. To reach the Monkey Park, take a bus or taxi (15 minutes) to Kanbayashi Onsen. From there, it's about a 30-minute walk to the Jigokudani Yaen-koen entrance." An

i came through narita on sunday, and i really didn't think this whole fingerprinting, photo thing was a big deal at all. it took 20 seconds longer than usual. seriously, it took 20 seconds to put my index fingers on the thing, and look at a camera screen simultaneously. it's just a tiny screen thing sitting on the usual immigration desks. i came in on a new working visa too, and i was through in less than 2 minutes. i think it's a pretty good way to monitor who is coming in and out any country, for any reason at all, not just terrorism precautions.
