The winter festa is coming to Osaka this weekend. You could always get pants there....

Hilarious Indo! CB - You lucky dogg!!!!

My EVO is buried. A friend took a couple of pictures of my car in Boston yesterday. He said the snow had frozen into a block of ice. Unless there are some warm days, i'll be waiting till spring to drive my car again. Ugh.

Can't make it tonight, but i'm in Kansai until Jan. 4 - I do have your mobile - let's get together at some point before I head back.

You guys are frieghtening me. There were just 2 massive dumps in Boston and my Evo is sitting out in the elements. I've asked a collegue that lives near by to take a picture...if he sends one I'll post it. As of this post, over a foot had fallen in this storm and it's still going. I don't get back to Boston until Jan - I may not be able to move my car this winter!

I did the Ginga from Osaka to Tokyo once (missed the last Shink), I found it to be quite civilized (except for the rock solid Japanese pillows). Bring your own pillow, and you'll be golden!

It's like jibbing without a jib....it's ground tricking.

So, you've dodged the question at hand. The question is not how you would escape Mcguiver - it's what would you have wish you had brought? some examples - A bottle of Jack Daniels and a straw - A deck of cards and some poker chips - A laptop with a Softbank card, so you could TR from the gondola etc. p.s. please don't jump out of the gondola, we want your winter to remain endless....

MMT is getting a Playskool MP3 for Christmas too! Congrats Jiblet! Got any pics to post? --update-- Sorry, SJ pulled the pic because it's not snow related. I need to link to an external one - I'll see if I can do that later...

I thought it had something to do with whether BOC replied to the thread...

Sorry, just saw this thread. I lived in Sing for 6 years, here's a few ideas. Night Safari - this thing is a must see. Very well done, it's not your average zoo. All nocternal anmials that are equatorial in natural surroundings. make sure and get off the tram and go checkout the bat cave, but beware of peeing bats! Boat Quay - can't go wrong there. I like an Indian place that is close to the tall buildings side. Sim Lim Square - get your cheap electronic fix there Kenko Massage - get the family chinese foot massages, they are the best and great after a long day of walk

The coffee bukkake bandit - only in Japan!

morning soubs....i'm prolly up earlier than you for a change - babies do that to a guy....

My wife has collected the entire run of Friends on DVD. All bought in Japan (so she can watch with J-overdub). I don't want to even imagine how much all that cost me. At least she watches them often...

Delete some mails until it is under 4GB

yea, apparently it has to do with all the food scandals this year (peko-chan, etc.)

1080? I pull those all the time - SSX on tour for the PSP ROCKS!

MaxxL, Not to worry, with the SJ website, you'll find all the info you need. For the easiest and quickest way up the mountain - go to a Japan Rail office or travel agency and get a 1 day round trip package to Gala Yuzawa. You just hop on the train at Tokyo station and it drops you off at Gala Yuzawa ski area. They have english instructions and staff there. It's super easy.

SJ - Much respekt, much respekt.

Perfectly clear to me...the sign is unreadable and therefore anything goes!

I could have swarn that I saw him on TV yesterday here in Kansai in a report about how even more gaijin are set to invade Japan's ski jo's. I think I saw him about 3 times in newspaper and TV last season, so I figured - start an official thread. Any additional sightings recently?

what would you had wished you had brought?

I thought registering would be a much more tedious process. Something involving getting your koseki, jumin shomeisho, inkan, and 3 copies of your Shibo Todoke Kisai Jiko Shomeisho. Glad to hear it's much simpler....
