Kasumi – I absolutely love kinako ! By the way, can I ask where you are from ?

Shigues – Yeah I’ve never seen so much snow in my life ! Pity it was way too cold !

Chraen – You should. :] Its quite enjoyable…once you get over the falling down part…haha.

andrea – Snorkeling in Okinawa ! That’s next on my to do list as well. :] For skiing, the advice for stopping from my Japanese friends was to form the “八の字” with your legs, basically pointing your both your feet inwards to form an inverted V, which will slow you down.

Wow, great to see you have had a chance to get away on a break. There are two things I still long to do in Japan, go skiing (and see the Snow Festival in Hokkaido) and go snorkeling in Okinawa. MUST make sure my next trip includes one of the two. Until next time don’t forget…”Snow plow, snow plow” (that’s all I remember from the last time I skiied …cause it’s how you stop;-))

Wow, a lot of people =P

I’ve never tried skiing before, though perhaps I shall give it a shot on my next trip to Japan.

Wow… -5º? I can’t imagine being comfortable in a place like that. But the snow is really pretty.
