Hi all, just wondering beside from teaching English in Japan, what else do you guys do?

What's your job title? Is your company an Australia company that you were send over there....ect?

Then beside from making a living, what you do for entertaining? Drift, drag, clubbing, coastal drive......snowboard (my fav), shopping?

i do a bit of photography, though not as much as i should.

go out and drink, learn calligraphy, hang out with my gf, take weekend trips, watch sumo (awesome!), eat, go car-watching, stagea-hunting, and basically just hang out. its just great that i get another handful of awesome experiences living here that i would just never get living in australia :P

Isn't snowboarding are better in Japan than here in Australia?

that looks like a nagaoka plate - nagaoka is the second biggest city in niigata (after niigata city), and one of the 'snow capitals' of an area that is renowned for deep snow.

so glad I'm in kansai now! hate that niigata snow...

A friend of mine (a keen boarder) who used to live near me in niigata used to go to area a lot (winter for boarding, summer for the koi) - but he reckoned the hokkaido powder was the best.

I'll take the sun, thankyouverymuch

yea right, thanks. yep hokkaido powder is insane. am just back from a trip up there. can't compare it to niigata but it's a world different from nagano, well worth the extra expense. an aussie dude bought some lifts at one of the biggest resorts up there called Niseko 2 years ago so there are heaps of aussies heading up there these days.

You guys should check out Zao in Yamagata-ken. Been going there for the last ten years. Great slopes, too much snow as usual. Hokkaido is superb too, but only been to Sahoro. Reminded me of European slopes

Went to niagata recently and gotta say this year there was just as much powder there as there was in niseko last year. Infact they had to close some of the black runs and I got burried in deep, deep powder and it took me half an hour to dig my way out so id probably say more powder than hokaido last year. Going again this weekend! たのしめ

PS I am at work now and have nothing to do but add comments to this forum, as ive done my 2 classes today, smoked some cigarettes read the paper and done all my emails already.

free time is: Beer, snowboard, chu-hi, pool, Auctions, "girlfriend time", beach, windsurfing (also called "watch the dead fish flaoting by" or "challenge to stay on the stick of salvation or risk the crazzy skin conditions and possible hair loss")

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
