And it is getting easier to do that of course. And that trend will continue. Um that's a good thing isn't? Niseko's success has really helped many other resorts around the country. All good in my book. It's a good thing that people are finding out that Japan does not equal Niseko, yes. Not really the point though is it. Oh yes, I forgot, you don't care what the point is. Unless it's yours. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 And what point are you trying to make other than your own? Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 If you read the thread you would see. Wasn't mine. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Regardless of what was said throughout the thread you appear to be trying to make a point now. And let's be clear I don't contribute to these forums to make friends. I have plenty enough of them and don't need to find more through the internet... Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I'm just totally gutted to hear that. The main original points are clearly in the thread, but you just don't seem interested do you. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Threads evolve. The original points have been discussed extensively. I'm not into creating a new thread everytime something new is bought up. You and others started bringing up the whole issue of vested interests and how they influence what people write here. I responded to that. Link to post Share on other sites
SKI 15 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Your entry into this thread other than calling Aussies idiots. Originally Posted By: Go Native You're staying in Echoland? I've never been to Hakuba but I do know that that is one of the main areas foreigners in Hakuba stay. If that's not what you wanted you really should have done your homework a bit more. I'm sure there must be some parts of the valley that have hardly any foreigners staying there at all. You sound like so many people who've come here before you. You come to Japan with unrealistic expectations or go to an area where those expectations won't be met and then complain about it. You've got no one but yourself to blame though through your lack of research. You've probably stayed at a place because it has english speaking staff or an english website and then seem suprised that there are other english speaking people doing the same thing!! You didn't want to be in an area with many foreigners and yet you ended up in Echoland in Hakuba! You idiot... You are remarkably consistent Go Native so not much evolving there. Calling people idiots and showing contempt for your customers, esp. those from Asia of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I don't deny I have contempt for people who even though they are spending large sums of money on airfares, accommodation, lift passes, etc, etc, appear to have little if any knowledge of the place they coming to. You wouldn't believe some of the questions I have gotten over the years. Personally before spending large amounts of money I generally at least do a little research! I'm pretty sure if you dealt with the sorts of questions I get daily you'd probably think little differently. Link to post Share on other sites
