well, Shiga/Nozawa look pretty good, not sure about the no boarders thing though? and if we were to head to hakuba, which is the best resort to stay in? thanks again

hi all, my mate and i are booking for 10 days over christmas and we are all over the place trying to decide on a place to go. went to niseko last year and enjoyed it heaps but the amount of foreigners there was overwhelming, so we would be keen to head somewhere a little less over run but good nightlife is essential. we are leaning towards hakuba/faruno or maybe even rusutsu? but still tempted to go back to niseko because it was still an awesome place and always good to go with what you know if you've only got a short time... thanks guys, mark

cheers ocean, i'll give em a try. i did try to stop last year also, was pretty easy and managed nearly 9 months but just too piss weak when i go to the pub! maybe next year

just to (sort of) get back on subject does anyone know what are the best smokes in japan for dodgy foreigners like me? i smoke stuyvo's in aus and am not expecting my duty free's to last the trip so any advice from fellow unhealthy sorts would be welcome. cheers

hardly a band but had the misfortune of seeing ashlee simpson on the telly yesterday, bloody awful!
