Too bad its just a March

Thats my rental car that I drove around the Shikoku mountain passes

[Demon Dave]

Hehe - I had a lot of fun in a rental March once

BTW - are March's March's in Aus, or are they Micra's like in England?

[Duncan]

theres no March in Aus, we just go straight from Feb to April.

Sorry, I meant to say,

There's no March in Aus, the smallest nissan is the pulsar

Hey dave, just out of curiousity. How much did your house cost if you bought it, or how much do you pay per month?

Also, what area do you live in?

Thanks

[Demon Dave]

we pay 50,000 yen a month for our place, which by Japanese (city) standards is both cheap and large (including large garden, twin car garage, and enough parking for several cars outside and a two floor out building with 3 rooms that I use a school). The downside (depending on how you look at it) is it's way out in the countryside with not much in the way of nite life (save for drifting ) and shopping. Though, my area is being rapidly developed, and at the rate it's going it wont be long before I feel I'm living in the city again...

I'm in Yamanashi, on a map, find fuji and it's the large valley to the north. 90 mins from Tokyo by train.

[EvilElmo]

Thanks, from what I've seen you have a very beautiful house.

Sounds massive! Definatly not a downside, wouldn't mind moving into something like that with my fiance when we move over there.

[Demon Dave]

massive is a downside when it's an old massive house: freezing in winter and way too bloody hot in summer Worst thing is, I always thought old style Japanese houses were designed so as to remain cool in summer, but our place is anything but! The wood seems to trap the heat, so often it's hotter inside than out! But I can't complain, it is cheap and the location was ideal for what we wanted it for (namely a school). We plan to move out within a couple of years, but our place and all...

Damn Mt Fuji looks so huge in those photos. It's only when you see the entire valley with the city that you realise just how large it is....
