grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 An android 2.2 ipad?! interesting idea! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Iped = Chinese iPad but one that is useful Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 If only the real ipad were 'useful', hey? Then the many millions of people who have them would be happy with them. Dissapointingly for the people who want it to fail, ipad till has no meaningful rival. Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I paid $220 US for it and I have sent off 5 emails in 2days. I can also play youtube of Alwyn Davey of Essendon. Go Iped!!!! Apple's Ipad is not as goor as my Iped.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 And presumably, the Apple Ipad not being as 'goor' is why you bought one. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Back on topic - when going through duty free do not buy alcohol, its cheaper in Japan but do buy one of those big bags of mini toblerones and give the lifties some, especially on pow days. Link to post Share on other sites

Valve Bounce 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 OK, my view! Don't let the prices you. Work out the exchange rate first! Generally anything is less expensive here than in other ski resorts. Best value are the Chile wines., which are superb for apre ski at around 500Y. If you think food is costly at a top quality restuarant, then just think of the restuarant prices at home. This is a great resort, without the ripoff of the Trois Valles. I have ski-ed in the top resorts of Europe, and I think Niseko is just great. The snow is sffuperb. Link to post Share on other sites

loaf of bread 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The 4man chair, what's that Valve Bounce? What number are we up to? Here's a simple one. 45 Don't laugh at the idea of a good day trip from Tokyo. You can get a full day in using the Shink to a place like Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites

Here's a simple one. 45 Don't laugh at the idea of a good day trip from Tokyo. You can get a full day in using the Shink to a place like Yuzawa. Ace Quad. It took us 10 minutes to stagger 25 yards towards the green run. Wife said "let's go back to the cafe", so I turned around and the wind took me back in 5 seconds. I do think the runs could be better defined with colored disks like in Europe. The powder here is awesome. Lack of queues is Amazing. Link to post Share on other sites
