Taking off at midnight, we arrived in time to soak in the rotemburo in Ecoland onsen and watch the sun rise.
So much powder, but it's off limits! Sometimes rules are made to be broken. Riding on fresh powder doesn't even feel like the same sport.
The lights at Miasa Onsen evoke the natural beauty of hemp.
Stinkbugs are funny. Some people start acting like cartoon characters when they come across one of these. In Japan, I always find the reactions of the students and teachers to insects trapped in the classroom, whether it be a huge butterfly, an angry bee, or a stinkbug, utterly amusing. Who would think that something so small and harmless could be so captivating and capable of such distractive powers?
nice, Hakuba looks much better than it did when I went there the day after the first snow of the year. Most of it was off limits for lack of snow. Bet it was a blast. It is nearly hanami season here, we're going to have a big party on april 9th. So I am reminded of your birthday/sumo/hanami incident. Happy birthday man, talk to you soon.
wow, those are some nice looking photos! You sure are one lucky guy!!!
No luck yet on the movie thing...hahah
By the way OLD MAN, Happy Birthday in advance!!!
Take care man.
Thanks guys. I'll try and find some drunken salarymen to sumo wrestle, but this time around I'll use the atomic wedgie attack and make him wish that he'd gone commando. Hopefully someone will take pictures this time around...
Happy Birthday Dude. I would call you old man, but I that would be self incriminating. My Birthday wasn't half the excitment and awe that yours seemed to have been, and future tense for the next few days to come. Drink one or a couple for me!
Hey just so you know you didn't drink alone I downed a couple drinks tonight with ya. Happy Birthday and enjoy the snow.
You guys fucking rock!
