  1. I like travelling except when you are stuck in a airport and your flights delayed and you have a connection to make on the other side of the world.

    A good book and ipod are my friends as well as beer to kill the time. Also listening to other languages and trying to figure out what they are saying, now that can be a fun game.

    I always have a fun trip when i connect in dubai on the way to the czech republic to see the inlaws as i can now go ride there which cool. snowboarding -10 inside and 40 degrees outside.

  2. Hi guys,

    Me and a mate are heading to Hokkaido in Feb and we are wondering if we should bring our avalanche gear??

    We both have lived/ridden in canada, usa, france and austria in the past so we have a good idea on what we are doing and arn't stupid.

    What are the chances of avalanches inbounds at niseko and furano??

    Does it slide often in the trees there?

     

    any heads up that you can give us is appreciated as its our first mission to japan and we can't wait.

  3. That must sux,

    Just read the whole thing and stoked your kids can ski as its a lifestyle as we all know.

    The Ex seems like she has lost the plot and has it in for you big time.

    Maybe Singapore Airlines declined to fly them as it would require one attendent to be with the children at all times and they are not there for that, or the instructions would make their job all the much more harder and they are not there as a child minding service in their eyes.

    From reading this it doesn't seem like they need special treatment, all they needed was for their mother to just stop making their lives a hassel.

    good luck with it all

  4. Don't most whales eat plankton?????

    except spearm whales that eat squid and the transeant killer whales. Now they are amazing creature. Seen them a couple of months ago chasing a humpback and calf on there way down to antartica while i was fishing with my mates in our boat about 15 km off sydney. Seen them get the little bugger which was a sight to see.

  5. I heard that they where going to go after humpback whales as well this year or next. I love seeing them ( the whales) comming up the east coast of oz every may to july as they come within seeing distance of the coast.

    Maybe the reason that Japan does it in the southern ocean is that they killed all the whales in their waters.

    I just hope that my spineless government doesn't let their ships enter our waters this time ( who cares if there got a sick person on board) or if they do then impound the ship.

    You know it does make good tv the battle between the whalers and greenpeace and sea shepard ships, all the water cannons and raming.

    But what would you expect from a government that doesn't care about anything else except their own needs ( before anyone gives crap to oz govt as well I know we need to do better as well).

    shame on Japan

  6. I can't believe that they banned the stuff. We should ban their crap tv s#$t as that is time you never get back.

    well now america has jioned the really screwed up nations, actually they where number 1 to start with. Even more now.

    Vegemite nice and thick or thin on toasted sangas. love it nice and hot( can burn though)

  7. Thanks for the replys,

    Just have another question.

    whats the go with furano's patrol??

    Are they Nazis or what??? just concerned as i really don't want to travel all the way to japan and then get chased by those idiots for having fun in the trees. I really don't want to ride the groomed crap all the time, as i can do that anywhere.

    I have heard some stories from people and they say they are like the SS.

    Whats the real story.

    Thanks
