rena_bena 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Just go by yourself and you'll definately meet new people around. I went to Niseko all by myself from OZ and I had the time of my life for 2 weeks. I met so many interesting people and fell in love with the place. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 danz - by the looks of the other thread you aren't going to have much trouble hooking up with some of the SJ crew. We should organise a time/meeting point or something. Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 absolutely... I am staying at the Hirafu Chalet, right next to Fatty's bar... On the mtn. look for a bearded gaijin with a blue north face facket...oh yah, I'm on skiis, and that should narrow the field by a bit, seeing how niseko is about 80% boarders the last time I was there... danz Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 sounds good. Sam and i are in the Lodge Uranaka I'll keep and eye out for you. I too will be sporting a beard for this trip. Sam was trying to get me to get a mohawk before i came over, still might do it - i need a hair cut soon anyway. I'm a boarder - hence the handle. Grey beanie most of the time, plus a bluey/purlpe neck warmer. See ya out there!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 mohawks are good, especially if your girlie approves. Mine didn*t but I still kept it for a while. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Well i decided against getting a mohawk for the moment. I'm going stand out enough as a "westerner" in Japan enough, let alone with a mohawk! Probably get one when i get back. I couldn't picture you with a mohawk ocean! Then again i couldn't picture myself with one either. Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Sounds like you won't stick out too much as an Australian in Niseko Link to post Share on other sites
woywoy 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Yeahhh... its japan and ah there are no foreigners there and everyone has black hair (hahaha...!) Especially in hokkaido you wont be seeing anyone who is non-japanese, um I mean its in the middle of nowhere that niseko place ... half your luck!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Are you kidding? When I was last in Hokkaido hardly any of the J-girls had black hair. In fact, that was almost always a sure way to spot the Chinese in a crowd of Japanese...those that were loud and had black hair. Link to post Share on other sites
