shadowtec 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 yay! 19 more days before I fly out and I hope the phone booth is snowed under by then /going up north Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Very unlikely. This "first snow" in town almost always disappears - and has actually gone some way to doing that just today with the sun out all day. The "real snow" usually starts in town aroumd mid-December or later. That's my experience anyway. Don't mean to be negative, just realistic. And I hope that I am totally wrong!

tokabochi 9 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Went past yesterday - no snow around there now, just bouncing rain. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 1, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2008 For all you phone phans out there waiting for the latest on the Emergency Telephone box. Well, until this morning it was all bare as we have had lots of rain over the last week and no new snowfall. Just a bit of snow last night and here is the box this morning. That snow will have gone by later this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 that is now a major tourist attraction in Yuzawa. I must get my pic taken there. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 1, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hmmm not sure about that thursday. Only me and SJ1 that takes them I think, and we feel quite daft doing it as well! We need more people to take them! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 What the ... ? Just keep taking the pics, the rest of the world waits anxiously for the results!! If it makes you guys feel better, I don;t think you look daft at all! At least not from here Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted December 2, 2008 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 2, 2008 I've lived or worked in Yuzawa for nearly 18 years now and over the last few I've had people I haven't spoken to for many years come up to me and after some initial greetings ask "why do you take photos of that phone box". Seems I might be getting a bit of a reputation... Link to post Share on other sites
nippontiger 8 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If people dont know why you are taking the pictures, and see you doing it often, they probably think its some kind of "Otaku" thing, like the trainspotters, or something!! You never know, it might start off a bit of a fad amongst real Japanese Otaku, and suddenly there'll be people all around the country taking pictures of phone boxes!!!
