The Warehouse
people live in this place ... us!In response to a fine blog entry by Mr Cowan and the constant chat about quoting each others blogs, I have finally decided to blog-jack some text from the infamous 'Billy Blog'. So read on for some delightful prose from the keyboard of the Kutchan Information centre on the 28th December 2007 ...
"1. We only work part time (welll sort of, although we appear to be constantly on call for any job no one else can be arsed to so) which gives us a lot more riding time than we'd have anywhere else. Also they take us as part of training on various backcountry trips, like on boxing day where we got taken cat skiing on a mountain right on the coast called Iwanai. We had to help out clearing some of their runs of small trees so we each got given a shankin' knife and the got cracking stabbin' up nature for a bit. But after a bit of defacing nature we got some good riding in.
2. Our company has more Japanese staff than foreigners. Now most of you probably assume this would be the case anywhere round here BUT you're forgetting Niseko is actually
35 Cent
what a guy in Melbourne and as such most ski schools are more aussie than man. However, this can also be a bad thing as it means you are almost constantly out of the loop on the lads 'banter' not to mention where you are supposed to be or what you are supposed to be doing. On the other hand we have a rowdy group of Japanese bro's to teach messy rudeboy Landan slang to and we get the local knowledge your we wouldn't otherwise. The other day we went out for a staff meal and drinks which was awesome. After a hotpot thingy (forgotten the name but it was made of all intestines 'n stuff, sounds rubbish, tastes awesome) we were given some small energy drinks*, which everyone swears is the best hangover cure since not drinking then its straight into a good old fashioned pub crawl complete with tequila, a 50 Cent lookalike and a healthy amount of shouting.
*p.s. they don't really work but hey I enjoy the novelty and we've taken to drinking them before we go out all the time now.
3. Access to vans is a valuable bonus as is the warehouse and although
is out of town is laden with prime objects to make a mini park out of. Whistler bro's will be pleased to hear that Lost Lab Japan Edition is well underway and so far has a kink, straight rail and a C rail as well as a saucy drop/kicker.
So that's that J~life at the mo, Ni-San aka older brother is arriving ce soir so he can look forward to brotherly naked baths the likes of which haven't taken place since we were toddlers. Happy days "
