WINTER HOLIDAYS part three SKI TRIP

SKI TRIP AT NOZAWA ONSEN
27~29 DECEMBER 2009
MEMBERS: many many ppl... 

day one

Reached the place around 6am. I probably would have enjoyed my first white snow scene if I had better sleep. There's just a limit to how well i can sleep in a bus. 
Because us kansai batch reached there the earliest, we had to go hunt where the hotel is ourselves.




here's a pic to give u guys an idea of how many people joined the trip this time. every year PPKTJ chinese will arrange this ski trip and those who wanna go can just go. Its my batch's first ski trip so most of us joined.

For someone who held a snowboard for the 1st time in their life, i didn't do too bad posing with it right =) ? (めっちゃ頑張ったで）

the seniors were really great and they immediately taught us all we have to know to start snowboarding

My thoughts on snowboard?

- it wasn't as cold as i thought it would be.
personally i think akashi is colder cause the wind's pretty strong though it
doesn't snow here
- the ski place looks EXACTLY like the ski game i used to play in computer
^^. the one where will suddenly got a snowman monster come out eat the
human one. i never watched ski programs on tv before so i thought it was gonna be something artificial like ice skating. i was so glad when i found out everyone can play at the same place.
- ski/snowboard should really really be done with a huge gang of friends ^^. Its so nice to slide down together and see someone you know in front of you or when you fall down and look back its someone you know again

this is how the gondola looks like when the weight is distributed unevenly ;). hong yao too heavy.

and this! note how the gondola is different. this one is more like cable car cause it goes much much more higher. me and around four other guys got cheated by hong yao to go up there. and when reached up there super shock o.O . the way down was like mountain road (Canada Hill - miri ppl will understand =) )plus there was no netting or fence by the side. 'i was like okay.. what do i do now?' hong yao slided down first to 'see if its ok'. i went next and stopped after the 1st corner to wait for others.

5 minutes

10 minutes

still no one coming ==. i gave up waiting and slided down to find the others 'walked' down cause it looked too scary...They just don't make guys like they used to. 

i guess this is how far a guy's yi qi goes. tsk tsk.

day 2

the eight of us went to challenge high high hills~ only me and pui san gals though cos other gals got tired from the first day and decided to build snowman instead.

saw my first 'snow powder'. i was wondering what the difference between snow and 'snow powder' was. let's see it was... wasn't as icy as snow. it sticks to the clothes. it's .. different. i love it  (*^-^*)

this time don't dare to fall down like first day cause butt hurt already.

day 3

Last day in Nozawa.

DEC 29

"Checkout is 10am.
Luggage will stay at Hotel while we go sightseeing around the village.
There are few historical sites, a swimming arena and a ski museum.
Bus back to Tokyo is at 1650(pm).
Bus back to Osaka is at 1940."


 I quote from the email about our schedule. So when King Ying,who's in charge of the this ski trip,opened up the map given by the hotel people and said

 ' ok guys, where do you wanna go?'

'.......'

'.............'

It was more like finding stuff to do to keep ourselves occupied while waiting for the night bus.
But i was glad the few of us later got to sit together and talked. long time don't have the 'gang' feel ady.

1000yen zaru soba which tasted normal....

and its not even as much as it looks. the net got 'bongkok' out in the middle making it looks a lot!
