On yesterdays trip to Gala Yuzawa i saw what would have to be best described as a pretty keen snowboarding family.
The youngest at the front, probably a out 5 or 6 yrs old with the wife and father close behind.
Dude-san also had his youngest strapped to his front, fast asleep mind you.

For quite a while there i thought i was immune to the recession in Japan and maybe i still am. With the Australian dollar very low against the yen it puts me in a pretty good position to service a few investments back home … for as long as i’m earning in Japan that is.
So, it would be fair to say the current world economic situation is not my bag and i rely alot on main stream media like Time and CNN to tell me what’s hot and what’s not but really, i think the best judge of how it’s affecting the people that live here is to as them and on Twitter this morning i did.
@JeromeSadou meant “now” by the way

This weeks snowboarding adventure saw me take on some new territory, Kagura Ski Resort in the Yuzawa region.
Kagura is bigger and badder than the other mountains i`ve been to so far and today i have the soreness to prove it.
It`s always a great view when you get to the peak ready to get stuck into it.
You can get to Kagura by taxi or bus after arriving at the Echigo-Yuzawa station courtesy of the Shinkansen from Tokyo.
