stag party,, hmmm.. i cannot even begin to imagine that..

no i didnt ask that. I know that the jetstar rate is cheaper if you ring beforehand. I think that qantas and jetstar would be about the same. imho.. i think i will just go with the jetstar and ring my extra baggage through beforehand..

lol. i never thought of it in that way, it did not come in a brown paper bag. maybe i should ?? It is about the comedian andy kaufman and i really recommend it, it is very funny and truly weird..

i saw Son of Mask on TV the other night. It was reasonably entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised. Man on the Moon starring Jim Carey is a top shelf movie.

Newcastle, UK is full of bushpigs it seems. the newcastle i live in is also full of bushpigs.

I had a mate who used to play led zep all the time so it drove me mad. Plus he was a drummer which made it excrutiating. I like the fact that they are having a lottery for the tickets. but meh, i dont care..

I am thinking about taking both skis and snowboard to japan. I just rang jetstar and they said that it was ok to have both. If they are over 20kg I will just have to pay the extra baggage charges. (about $12-15 per kg) i also rang qantas and they said that you could take a bag and one set of skis/snowboard at a limit of under 20kg. Any additional skibag will be charged extra baggage. For a supposed superior service, i do not think that is real good. So i think i will go with jetstar, the cheap crap service. But i will be putting my baggage on the hakyubin at the a

I went on a ski trip with my mates to the ski rider at perisher on a bus. Then i used to go on weekends in the kombi and stay at guthega. After that it has been downhill ever since. (get it, that was a skiing joke. muahahah)

Here is a very good map of the trains and subways for osaka. It has helped me suss out how to get around. Hope it helps.. http://www.johomaps.com/as/japan/osaka/osakametro.html --

How about bindings/straps like on a kiteboard? Or a tow-in Surfboard?

i had a look at the widgets but did not see anything that would interest me atm.. if you need a tester just give us a yell.. a widget for japanese snow resort webcams is the only thing i can think of that might be useful for me.. or australian ones maybe. i used the webcams a lot the preceding season for oz snow resorts.. Personally i like to keep things really simple and my desktop uncluttered as much as possible, but that is just me..

imho riding a bike up hills up off the seat is the best for skiing/boarding getting fit... and for boarders i think some sort of ab workout would be helpful because boarding seems to work on your stomach muscles for some strange reason..

Are there any day buses from Osaka to Hakuba ? The night bus sounds horrendous after a long flight from oz. imho, of course.. I will probably end up taking the train, shin-osaka - nagoya - mutsumoto - hakuba ???
