Good signs the last week or so.

Congratulations Domokun.
Whos that on the left in the first picture?
-
That was impressive.
Doesn't half drag on when they're all coming out though. Can't be helped I suppose.

Red/yellow

I've just come back from Akita. No snow of course but a lovely area. Cooler than where I am, still hot though. Very remote places we were and very friendly people encountered. Nice break.
-
I'm trying to think if that will be good or bad for us / the resorts.
The CNY often is the same as the long weekend in Japan isn't it? I suppose spreading those two out like it will be next Jan/Feb would be a good thing.

Was it the same Austrian guy you hear about who went and did the same at Nozawa (and others*, perhaps) or a different one?
-
Yes I wouldnt choose it over Nozawa but if you are in the area for a while then it is worth checking out for a change.
-
Last night was hot.
I used to be careful with how much I used the aircon but now I just need to be comfortable. I can't concentrate or be useful at anything in the heat.

cucumber sandwiches (cut into triangles of course with no crust)

Why anyone wouldn't lock their doors at night is beyond me... 'safe' or not.

I'm sweating it out and having some time off late August.

Hi MMT - I avoided calculus and turned out ok!
-
I used to live near Iiyama and so was close to Nozawa but also some really good places like Madarao and the resorts in Kijimadaira and Kita Shiga area. Don't hear much about them but there are some good places.
Ryuo always seemed to have good snow when I went especially up top of the gondola.
Worth a check between Nozawa and Shiga Kogen I reckon. If anyone wants to know more let me know and I'll post more!
-
Nozawa - the place no-one seems to dislike
Madarao - really good snow, near where I used to live, not busy at all
-
Quality is always the way to go!
-
While I like Suginohara, that long long course is pretty boring in many parts actually. Not everything that is good about the place.

School holiday as in for the weekend (or something longer?) Surely not summer hols?!

Quote:Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report obtained by the Guardian.
The damning unpublished assessment is based on the most detailed analysis of the crisis so far, carried out by an internationally-respected economist at global financial body.
The figure emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises. It will add to pressure on governments in Washington and across Europe, which have turned to plant-derived fuels to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil.
Senior development sources believe the report, completed in April, has not been published to avoid embarrassing President George Bush.

Poor Mr Bush hey? What about the world -
Sinclair C5.
I actually know someone who has one of those - it still works.

Listen to the girl, no she doesn't!

Can we order it up front for this winter?

I have a kenwood system and I really like the sound it produces. The speakers in my car though are awful, some crappy default ones I think.
-
Awful. There was something like this just a few months ago at a station wasn't there.
