Siren 0 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Any suggestion for a romantic, not crowded, Christmas resort (GF still taking lesson)? Link to post Share on other sites
Roger's head 0 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 What part of it all do you want to be romantic Siren? Does the size of the Christmas tree in the hotel count? Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Christmas is on a weekend this year so it should be quite busy - though I suppose the 25th might not be busy as it's a Sunday and for Japanese Christmas is officially over by the time midnight on Christmas eve arrives.

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Christmas at Nozawa would be cool I think with a woman Id take a girl there just cuz I think the town has such a nice ambience to it: wicked onsens, great restaurants, nice skiing, but away from it all.

Siren 0 Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thanks for some of the suggestions. I heard Nozawa is great but quite crowded. Smaller, less known resort is probably better. We could drive around a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 There are two nice hotels in Okushiga kogen. Both of them have very nice bar with a fireplace, you can have a relaxing night over watching the fire move after skiing. I think you can afford to stay those hotels.

Ocean11 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I know you always treasure my advice, and I recommend a tent at Wada Toge. You can ski the fantastic powder completely undisturbed, enjoying the invigorating hike back up. Then you can wash each other's sweat-soaked bodies down with fresh snow and jump giggling into your zipped-together sleeping bags and watch the flickering light of your Primus stove. Then, while the snow falls lightly on the tent, you can howl romantically as you celebrate your Pagan Christmas like wild animals. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I dunno sunrise. I'm undecided. I'd love to, but I have some other priorities at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 You're in a better position than me - at least you're growing your own veges.... Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 sunrise, there's loads of info in books and on the Web about growing food on balconies and apartment rooftops. I think they probably make it sound easier than it actually is, but I'd give it a go if I was in that situation. A rather feral Australian girl I know here tells me that her balcony plants do very well on blood. My goal is to go snowboarding using biodiesel to get there. It's a bit of a tough challenge to meet, and I may have to allow myself some slack here and there... Link to post Share on other sites
happyhappy 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm going to be wrapped up all nice and snug that weekend with ms happy happy doing the chrismas thing Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks for that link, Ocean. Pity there's so much black crap that settles on my balcony from a nearby big road... but I'll look into it regardless... That girl sounds feral, still, I have heard of "blood and bone" fertilizer years ago... Link to post Share on other sites

As for Christmas, we got a big stonking party planned, and hopefully on the slopes during the daytime. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Well if you've got any plants going by Christmas, don't let anybody vomit on them. The acid kills plants very quickly. When I worked on a campsite in France, I and my confreres killed the tree outside our tent by vomiting on it repeatedly. Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom Raspberry Blower 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Did they do that on purpose? Christmas for me is in Gunma. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 No it wasn't on purpose. But nearly every night somebody would stagger outside the tent, lean on this poor, convenient tree and throw up all over its roots. Soon all of its leaves fell off and its branches shrivelled. Finally it was just a blasted stump. Killed by Pernod, red wine, and stomach acid. It took about 4 months to kill it. It had its revenge though. The last person who tried to lean against it threw up all over themselves when the tree just keeled over. So what are your Christmas plans now Siren? Link to post Share on other sites
