I spend a great day with Tanaka san.

I got up at 5:00am on Saturday to hit to the mountain.
Today I decided to go to the closest mountain, cuz Im sick of driving
4hours to go to Gifu pref this weekend.

I picked up Tanakasan who is my old snowboarding mate from Daigo indoor dome.
We got in the Biwako-valley snow resort about 7pm.
There were not many ppl at all! I felt its gonna be a good day!!
But when I talked to the staff, they said today there is super strong wind,
we have only one ski lift going....
Then I remember this place is the most famous for strong wind all most everyday.....
But we caught a gondola upto the mountain.
Yah staff was right, it was super strong wind!! I was worried about my day..
we snowboard down to the slop and we realized its not too bad.
It was really cold due to the wind, but its bearable!

Snowboarded about 5 hours, taking a moive of ourself by my mobile phone to check up our riding etc..
Then we decided to check up the new electric store which is new opened today.
Cuz i have been looking for the new camera and he know pretty much about digi-camera.
He recommended me to buy a panasonic one which have 10 optical zoom and fine movie mode and 5 mega pixcel.
I thought 5 mega pixel is not good enough, but he explained me the detail about pixel and camera thing. Jump to conclusion the important thing is not how high the pixel is, it is how good the camera and lens are.

I saw the one we were looking for at the store, it says 44800yen.
WOW its not cheap, but Tanaka san knew there is a 25000yen one in the web.
So i asked so many question to the staff, and i made it clear to buy it from webshopping.
then we headed back to home and I checked it up in the web,
oh-yah there was 26300yen with 3 years gurantee.
I bought it:-)

Back home and I called up Sophie, talked about camera and my holiday plan.
She is really nice gf for me. cant wait to see her soon.

While later, around 22:00, haigmon called me up to go for a drink tonite.
I wasnt tired at all, so we headed to Sousou where is the best bar in Joyo city.
I had Umeshu which is plum alcohole, single molt wisky and fine sake!!
after 3 drinks i was pretty drunk, we talked stupid things and had a great time.

Then got home around 1am, I found a gift from Simon.
I opened up the box, there are some CDs!!!! yaahhhh
Thanks so much Simon, I was sick of my old CDs.
Now I can drive to mountain in gifu with these music!!

What a nice and big day today, i really had a great time!
This is called weekend hey!

Last weekend, i went to snowboard and tried a halfpipe all day long.

Actually I got really worse. My legs are far more weaker than last year!!

My skills are just below average, but im sure i can get better sometimes.

I saw one of my friend from Daigo indoor dome, he is now super good rider~
I was surprised! He could jump high like we say double head over!
I used to teach him but now its time me to learn from him!!

Im planing to go there again in this sunday, hope i get my skills back!

This was my first mission...LOL

After new years holiday, I already started working from 5th...
On new years afternoon, Simon and Pauline left Kyoto.
It was my first time to see Simon off. Seeing friends off is one of the saddest thing.

And then Sophie went back to Germany on 6th. I cant say anything..sad..

Im hoping to see her anytime soon. she was planed to come back here around March, but she decided not to come down. double sad..
so next time we will see each other maybe on May? we dont know now.

Simon will come back here probably next snow season!
thats nice, im glad he likes snowboarding!

Anyway I wanna thanks you three to come and see me around new years time.
This was one of the excited new year!
I really hope you guys come back here soon!
