snowmonster 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Cold enough for the heater to come out today. Smelly, but I can cope. It's a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I'm going to put it off until mid november if I can. When I have to wear my toque to keep warm I will bring it out. But feels good going home and putting on a sweater. Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Must be a bunch of tourists around at the moment. They were all wearing their puffy winter jackets. I was wearing just a T-shirt. Maybe I have become conditioned to the cooler weather? Made me feel cold! Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 damn, dont have a heater either Kansai peeps, you use your airconditioner much? Didnt have one of those either but had a nice breeze all summer long with the windows open But, Ive got a kotatsu which is what I generally only use anyways. Something about sitting under a kotatsu in a cold room with a nabe is sweet eh? Luv it. Atsukan goes nicely with it too. Also luv reading books over the winter for some reason... Hmmm, guess I need to get a small heater. Which is better kerosene or electric? Any recomms? Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Avoid the halogen heaters unless you want fat electricity bills. Plus you basically have to sit on the thing to keep warm. We use a kero one, heats the room fast- although a little smelly. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 So much?! I don't really take much notice of the cost of filling up, just do it. That's scary. Link to post Share on other sites

mattlucas 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Mine is 4000 to fill it up. Not to bad and I have you guys beat by a few hours I think. Although I have to go through more mountains to get to the Hakuba resorts. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 bone dry now and 30 litres here is a 4000 yen fill up, such a rip off. in the Cliton days oil was 22 bucks a barrel give or take. So how can it be that oil is 50 bucks? bring the taxes down a bit on gas too the govts are making a killing right now. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I have 40 litres for 4000 up here at my self serve place. Gas prices are a funny thing arn't they. Who knew competition could raise prices Were you in BC a few years ago when gas dropped down to about 25 cents a litre. That's like 20 yen for you non Canadians. Link to post Share on other sites
