flipside 0 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Anyone living down here in Fukuoka knows it's a great place... Shouchu a plenty but now it's time to hit the slopes it's a fair journey to the not-so-much talked about Hiroshima ski-jous. Anyway, anyone else feel my vibe?

sweetaz 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Sounds like a great place! For fellow canadains and fans of south park, proper pronunciation is: Fuk-u-okeh? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 flipside, I feel yoh pain. (I moved from Nagano to Shikoku. Why??) Link to post Share on other sites
flipside 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Yes, just get jealous hearing of these daily adventures in the snow!!! Still, fun can be had up at Mizuho Highland and the Shimane region for the folk down here in Fuk-u-o.k. (old gag) Link to post Share on other sites
flipside 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 BTW. Ocean, where do you usually go? Or do you save the bills up for big trips up north? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 flipside, I just moved here this August, so there isn't a 'usually' established yet. If it were a normal season, I'd probably try a few of the places in Shikoku, Shimane and Hiroshima, and maybe aim to get in a trip to Hokkaido. But until it starts getting wintery for sure, I don't see much point in getting excited. Over New Year, unless it really dumps, I'll be trying out some moutainboarding places in Ehime and Kochi. There are some good mountainboarding resorts in Kyushu too. It's worth checking out if you like a bit of green downhill action. Link to post Share on other sites
slimeypete 0 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Tell us about Fukuoka ramen then while you're waiting for snow Link to post Share on other sites
flipside 0 Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Well, I'm pretty sure ramen is all over the place in Japan. Noodle soup, wicked when eaten on cold wintery nights to warm the soul (not to mention a shouchu on the side to add some fire). Hakata ramen is of the pork broth variety and very tasty. Think you get the picture. Link to post Share on other sites
