Japan Update 1

Ok, so there's been some complaints to the complaint department about me not updating the updates department. You know what? I hate complaints, updates...um, and i hate departments for that matter. But i digress.
I have decided to update (note to self: thesaurus 'update') this in several stages, as i can be bothered.

Ok, the last post left off with us in Niseko (Hirafu more specifically). This is the view from our apartment of Mt Yotei. Apparently it takes 6 hours to walk to the top for a 10 minute ride/ski...um yeah whatever

This is just one of many relatively empty lifts travelling over metres of powder. Funny Story: I'm in a gondola with some japanese people when i heard this conversation:

Japanese geezer: blah blah (in japanese can't understand)
Japanese anime girl: blah blah (in japanese also...der)
JP: YOU ARE DOG
JAG: WE ARE DOG
....conversation continues....

ok, maybe you had to be there

Dinner japanese stylie : 'painful cartilage of a chicken'....bring it on

END OF UPDATE 1: bite me
