stemik 14 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 In all fairness it's not just laminating, they need to embed the chip as well Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 now, that would take some time. Deffo a case of chip supply. You only want those babies "right on time" hence a disclaimer of 2 days or so. Never mind. Just some catching up to do. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I can make some chips in 10 minutes! tripler, being the manly hard man that he so obviously is, surely could also. Link to post Share on other sites

tripler 0 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 i've laminated shit. Not very difficult, takes 30 seconds. Charlotte, I'm not at all angry with anything about Japan, I love bureaucracy. To see a world in a grain of rice... Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer 216 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Originally Posted By: tripler how very Japanese - they've make a simple thing ridiculously complicated and inconvenient.

All part of the schedule. WHY? Oh yeah, 'cos it's Japan... Don't you hate that. You go overseas and it's just not like home. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 maybe the random violence in the US and UK is a thing to look forward to as a traveller. Link to post Share on other sites

SOME of us didn't have much choice in the matter. We were shipped off by SWMBO, like modern-day convicts. Forgive us if we sometimes hanker after the mother country a bit. But the fact that we didn't die on the passage, pretty much in shackles (they call them seat belts these days), means we're made of strong enough stuff to build a new life in this barren land.

Sorry for all the questions but I am seriously thinking of getting one. When I had a Nozawa pass they would give me free day passes until I recieved my season pass. I got the same deal in Myoko. Im sure if you hand over 8 sheets, theyll give you a day pass to somewhere Link to post Share on other sites

Shiga Kogen said there was no way to get the money back if you bought day tickets while waiting the one week for them to laminate the season pass. Laminating takes 30 secs but I forgot you've got to let the machine warm up for 10 mins first. So I guess one week is fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't think the chips look that good....look like frozen chips, not cut fresh. Thursday, I'll not here a bad word about Irn-Bru......its the bru of the gods!! Link to post Share on other sites

I always wanted to ride shiga but enjoyed nozawa / suginohara so much that I never got up there. I lived in Iiyama and always thought I would burn a tank of gas just getting up there!

tripler 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Update 80,000 yen season ticket includes Shiga, Nozawa and Happo (not the rest of Hakuba). Takes one week to order by mail, paying the postman. Or 2 days if applying in person. 65,000 yen for Happo only 48,000 yen for Happo only, weekdays only Takes a few hours applying in person but they give you a day ticket while you wait. 35,000 yen for Cortina only Link to post Share on other sites
