Japan / Hong Kong Recap

Ahh, the top 10. I'll try to upload some more pics soon. I'm thinking that it might be the case that I only upload the ten best shots, so that everyone doesn't feel compelled to check them all out.

1. First and foremost, the knee deep (apparently thigh deep the day after I left) powder snow. Nothing like it in Australia, and definitely worth going to again. Night-skiing is a blast, and my succesful 180 degree spins off the jumps were sweet.
2. The funky fashions within Tokyo. Not to my taste, but it has to be seen to be believed.
3. The anime-inspired pigeon-toe walking style of a high percentage of chicks (in short skirts and knee high boots) in Japan.
4. The contrast of the hustle and bustle and tranquility between cities (Tokyo/Kyoto) and even within a city (Shinjuku/Meiji Gardens).
5. The hospitality of the Japanese folk lives up to its reputation. People are just sooo nice!
6. Sapporo Snow Festival. Worth a visit, the scupltures are massive and the lighting really good. It feels like Christmas without the Santa Claus decorations.
7. The all you can drink bar in Tokyo (Pure Shibuya) for $18. Anything you want, as much as you want. Brutal.....
8. Seeing everyone gather in a foreign city and having a ball in Honkers.
9. Seeing my grandma in such good health and spirit at the grand age of 87.
10. The power of the AUD, spurring me on to more and more purchases!

Mt. Fuji

Damn! ten cheap calls already:

Bloody spamblocker's doing nothing! Had to clean them up myself.

OK, will try to put up more pics. The thing is, the pics start to get repetitive after a while :)

I can vouch for JB. If you've seen them, I surprised myself with my Fuji and Niseko/Sapporo pics too. Some things just have to be seen to be believed!
