I live in a fairly remote part of New Zealand. (aren't they all?)

tanegashima is on on TV right now.

I live in a valley about 6km from the town of Cootamundra in country NSW, there are about 10 homes between my 2.5 hectare property and the main road that is 2.6 km from here.

Very reclusive living, I love it.

Yeah, it depends on your definition of remote.
By Japanese or European standards, I live in a remote locale. By Australian or NZ standards, no, not really.

After 8 days of continuous playing, I just made it back in Tokyo and dropped down in bed with 38.5 fever.
Its soo hard having fun!!!

Thunderpants and wife, thx thx thx thx thx for the really good vibes and time we spend this past week.

I will send you the pics we took when I get a bit better.
Your wife did a sick drop in when we were riding in Yakuzu.

Ah, but were there pies?

Sounds like you had fun.

Tsonda is Back online!Hi thete.
Thank you too for a very nice time. i will name a drink after you
your food is going on the menu as soon as i can get myself together to print a new menu.
Yesterday we had to turn guests down at the door. we had the place filled up.
Life is good here. KEEP SURFING Tsonda

Looking forward to the TR, Tsonda

what would that food be? Lamb?

I didnt live there, but I went hiking on Rebun island off the north west coast of Hokkaido a couple of years ago. There were a couple of Gaijin English teachers there. Only way there is via ferry from Wakanai. God help if you want to go on holidays somewhere!

man, i dropped into this thread late... you sound like you've got a great set-up thunderpants! and your friend takes fantastic pics

Was that because word came around that tsondaboy is in town?

I think thats the pimpiest pic of me I have:

If you are going to name a drink after me, then I would like you to change the Very Long Island Ice Tea I am seen drinking in the above pic to Tsondaboy Ice Tea.
And thats because not only I was the first guy to finish it, but also because I was able to finish it and still be sober enough to win you in backgammon.

TR coming soon, once I upload some more pics.

i let you win

how many black pons can you count at my corner?

made a TR:

Nice Weegeoff

Nice place to live by the looks! Which city are you closest to?

The nearest shops and 2 pubs are about 3 miles away by road,It is just a small village. I could get a 20min ferry ride to a small town.more shops and about 5 or 8 pubs.The ferry stops about 7.30 so no good for a night out.Glasgow is about 75 miles away by road.

Sounds great.

Very nice Weegeoff. What a place to live. Get much snow up there?
