Ahh crap the weather is warming up...
Today its 0 degrees and so what does that mean??Yeah its starting to melt..
and i have really sore legs and blisters and red marks from my boots (going too hard!) so today im not skiing.
but its a lovely day anyway, bright blue skys, the sun is shining. ahh..
Yesterday I trekked to the top of Niseko. the lifts take you 3/4 the way up and then you have to walk the remainder.
Its no easy feat. Carrying your skis up a 45 degree hill for 1\2 kilometre is hard work..
but once you get to the top the view is awesome... you can just see the ocean on both sides.
Dont worry i got some photos.. ill try to put them up when i work out how to get them off the camera.
which brings me to the camera...
I bought a digital camera in tokyo.. not as cheap as i thought it would be but cheaper than aussie for sure..
And i bought a pretty cool little one which can do digital video and heaps of cool things (like shoot lasers and teleport).
eh..
but the camera menu is all in japanese, and the instructions are as well.
Its seriously becoming a ghost town here, shops are closing, bars are closing, hotels are closing, theres no lift lines, lifts are closing, its a bit weird.
oh well.
Im off to find some lunch, but I might have to settle for Seiko mart food. (singing) "sei-ko mar-to, sei-ko mar-to, sei-ko mar-to....." (seiko mart is the conveineince store and all they do is play that annoying song continously)

Hope it turns a little colder in the next day or so. Anyway you should get some good photos if it's a clear day.Get the bandaids out and get back on the skis - you've only got a few more days. (When I printed this off to show Grandma why does it print in yellow?? ) Mum XXOO
Sounds sweet dudeman. What brand is the camera? If its a decent brand like canon there should be an option in the menu to change the language. Hard task is trying to find the option! Made any local japanese speaking freinds? Whats the acommodation like etc. And upload some pictures already!
Yo glenn man. Wise man thinks you should call your site "Fish out of water".
Pretty zen like yeah!!? Ohh yeah you want it bad.
Hey Glenno ;)
Great to hear that you’ve survived a week in Japan! When are you going to be doing the sleeping in the Hole in the Wall thingy? I’m curious to hear about *that* experience- let me know how it goes!
Well it’s dave and teag’s going away party tomorrow and it just wont be the same without your delightful and entertaining self both on the decks and getting into the booze: alas, we shall drink on without you, but be thinking of you nonetheless.
Turns out that the British government is so desperate for social workers that they will pay for Australian workers to fly over and cover the costs of accommodation for the first few months- so it looks like I might catch up with you, dave and teag’s in the UK sooner than I expected (if you are still in country towards the end of 2006?).
For now? Enjoy the sake and have fun!
Love, Mel xxx
