Thanks stemik. I may have to do what XilR8 suggests

Wow. Haven't been around for a while and it's all changed.
Anyway..
Did anyone use the shared taxi from Nagano to Hakuba last year? I'm trying to work out connection times.
From memory it cost 3,000 yen one way and was apparently timed to meet incoming Shinks - including after the Alpico bus finishes running. I recall seeing links to it in 06 and 07.
Anyone know if it is running this season?

This discussion reminds me of tucker max - buttsex: hilarity does not ensue.

btw - what does wakaranai mean?

A bit of sightseeing is the quid pro quo. You know how that goes..

Looks like the missus and I will be spending NYE in Tokyo.
Are there organised activities (eg. fireworks, street parties, festivals) or is it more low key?
Any areas of Tokyo we should go to/avoid?
Appreciate your ideas

I see what you mean O11. Didn't occur to me to squish it down. Thanks for that.

If I view the Sydney Morning Herald site with the taskbar on the right, I lose about a third of the RH column and it means I have to scroll horizontally as well as vertically. This is running at 1024x768.
The horizontal bar takes up 30.5 square cms, and the vertical 69 square cms on my screen. It takes up more space in absolute size terms, as well as relative to the fixed screen size.
Lucky we can do it either way - I find it more valuable the other way *shrug*

The bar is pretty wide, stacked vertically. It takes up more real estate that way.
Of course if you have a BFO 19 or 21" screen I guess it doesn't much matter. For the rest of us...

Left click on an empty part of the taskbar and drag it right to the bottom of the window.
Should relocate to the usual position. You can lock it afterwards to stop it happening again if you want: right-click on toolbar >> lock the task bar.

Heavy thread.
I sincerely hope that's the last you hear of it griller.

That looks bloody good. Thanks spud.
How have you found the repacking/re-vacuum sealing? Easy or fiddly?

Do Japan ones work out close enough to actually take an o/s holiday on them??

Labour = parentage is waaaaaay too simplistic.

Hiking in Nepal I was told altitudes of 3,500m and above are when altitude sickness is regarded as potentially being a problem, if you're going to get it.
Beyond that I was also told that the threshold is personal and there is no one altitude level that applies between people, and that the level you get sick one time can even vary the next time (obviously not what you've experienced le spud).
All my friends in the UK get 5 weeks annual leave or more. The missus works for a UK company in Oz and also gets 5 weeks leave (usually 4 weeks in Oz). Does Japan offer than much annual leave??
Can't say the writing gets my juices flowing either...

I agree...JD is crazy

Short Hokkaido trip thoughts - comments/suggestions please.
in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry

Possible itinerary:
Day 1: Fly into Asahikawa, pick up car, ski Kamui
Days 2-3: Ski Kamui, staying in Asahikawa each night.
Days 4-6: Drive to Asahidake, ski Asahidake. Stay at youth hostel for 2 nights. Return to Asahikawa end of day 6.
Day 7: Fly out of Asahikawa.
My thoughts/questions:
Is 3 days at each of Kamui and Asahidake too much?
Is a guide at Asahidake a good idea, at least for 1 day?
Should I fit another hill into this? Which? Kurodake? Tomamu? Other?
