freeze 0 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Anyone come to Japan because of the winter sports, or are we all just lucky to have that as a huge bonus of being here? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Yes, I try to go to Japan at least once every year, just for the snow. It's much cheaper for me to go to France/Switzerland or Canada/US, but Japan is still my favourite destination. Last season I went to Japan 3 times: Christmas, Chinese New Year and Easter!

barok 0 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 That`s why I came here, and why I have been planning to come here for a year. I mean I could have gone anywhere, but Japan sounded like something different, and it has been so far. Just waiting for the snow to fall, and trying to study in the meantime. werd Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Now wouldn't that be a luxury, to be able to choose to come here because of a sport I love. Big bonus for me. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 It would be hey? Just a bonus for me too Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Markie, isn't it reaally expensive to come to Japan from HK? How long do you come for? Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hi,xxx. Yes, it is extremely expensive. Usually, I come for about a week each trip. Depends on my holidays and whether resorts have vacancies. For example, this Christmas I wanted to stay a week in Rusutsu but the resort only gave me 5 days (3 nights) so now I am trying to squeeze in a few nights at Kiroro nearby. By the way, I love your movie "Triple X" especially the avalancle/snowboard scene. Link to post Share on other sites

arouSal 0 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I can't believe anyone would move to a country because of a sport they love, unless you're doing a job there or working in the industry or something. Link to post Share on other sites
snurfer 0 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 My first trips were business, finally scored one in Feb and headed for Hokkaido afterwards. That was enough to convince me to pack up the family and move there. 3 of the best years of my life. A lot of powder days! Link to post Share on other sites
