Sounds like you need a Hakuba experience.

I don't think truck driver over reacted. If anything, he was quite restraint. He did the right thing by getting the police.

Aleve is also called Naproxen. Amoxil is also call Amoxicillin and Advil is also called Ibuprofen. The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin

Although I really wanted to see Hokkaido, I think Nagano might be better as it will mean less travel time from Tokyo airport. Oh, and I really want to see the snow monkeys! I guess booking accomodation should really be done pretty soon, I've read on the forum it fills up pretty fast. Where are you all heading first this season? You can fly to Sappporo from Tokyo in less time you'd take to get to Nagano from there. Last Christmas the flight we were on tried 3 times to land in Sapporo but the storm

there you have it. Niseko is over cooked. Obviously need to look elsewhere.

Harbin

he sounds quite generous; got something for everyone.

This is from CNN. I find this disturbing: ------------------------------- BRISBANE, Australia (AP) -- At least 10 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on Australia's eastern coast since "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was killed by one of the animals last week, an official said Tuesday, prompting concerns of revenge attacks on the normally docile fish. The popular television star was killed last week when a stingray barb pierced his chest as he filmed a TV show off Australia's Great Barrier Reef, prompting an outpouring of grief in Australia and among his fans worldwide.

the mere fact that people are still talking about it 6 years after the event is proof of the show's success.

ok, I admit it. ger, don't answer.

ger, where in Asia are the "most exotic countries"

Been thinking about this. The best time to go would be when I'm not there. So that's mid Jan onwards.

daver, yes on all counts. please tell me about Whistler's snow.

Didn't think I'd say this so soon, but I'm sad to see Herman go. He has at least 3 more seasons in him. The last time I felt this way about a driver was when Senna copped it.

everytime I see this thread I think of: "I had a farm in Africa". All the best to you.

it was a good cat fight though.

already booked my flight and accomdation. Don't want to be dissappointed.

I've been to Furano. Did a fly drive. Nice colours during the summer, but I prefer slient white.

guys, please let me be the first to give a suggestion.

come on, be sensitive to their culture. they don't want you so why force them?

pancakes are you kidding? every thread here needs a handful of salt. trouble will find you if you are looking for it. The best part of Niseko is the snow, so just enjoy the snow and leave the rowdiness to the rowdies.

heavy, there are plenty of places in Kutchan.

Aside from the flushing toilet being invented by Thomas Crapper, I heard it was the Irish who invented the toilet seat and that it was an Englishmen who put the hole in it.
