...beside From Teaching English?


Recommended Posts

Hi all, just wondering beside from teaching English in Japan, what else do you guys do?

What's your job title? Is your company an Australia company that you were send over there....ect?

Then beside from making a living, what you do for entertaining? Drift, drag, clubbing, coastal drive......snowboard (my fav), shopping?

i work 13 hour days 6 days a week. in the evenings i drink and sleep at my girlfirends house then go to bed then get up for work again. on sundays i spend the whole day with my girlfriend.

on holidays i come back to aus and go snowboarding. Saturday nights i also go to trance clubs with my friends. something which is big over here.

i do a bit of photography, though not as much as i should.

go out and drink, learn calligraphy, hang out with my gf, take weekend trips, watch sumo (awesome!), eat, go car-watching, stagea-hunting, and basically just hang out. its just great that i get another handful of awesome experiences living here that i would just never get living in australia :P

Isn't snowboarding are better in Japan than here in Australia?

ive got a burton board

in answer to your question ill let some of the following photos do the talking :P

well i was about to post a few pics but it seems i can only do one per post so here is what the street looked like this year outside of where we stay each year.

actually 20 something people died this year because of the amount of snow which fell in niigata it was a record fall

jesus i want to go again soon. actually maybe i should go outside right now as my place is surrounded by snow :P

that looks like a nagaoka plate - nagaoka is the second biggest city in niigata (after niigata city), and one of the 'snow capitals' of an area that is renowned for deep snow.

so glad I'm in kansai now! hate that niigata snow...

A friend of mine (a keen boarder) who used to live near me in niigata used to go to area a lot (winter for boarding, summer for the koi) - but he reckoned the hokkaido powder was the best.

I'll take the sun, thankyouverymuch

yea right, thanks. yep hokkaido powder is insane. am just back from a trip up there. can't compare it to niigata but it's a world different from nagano, well worth the extra expense. an aussie dude bought some lifts at one of the biggest resorts up there called Niseko 2 years ago so there are heaps of aussies heading up there these days.

You guys should check out Zao in Yamagata-ken. Been going there for the last ten years. Great slopes, too much snow as usual. Hokkaido is superb too, but only been to Sahoro. Reminded me of European slopes

Went to niagata recently and gotta say this year there was just as much powder there as there was in niseko last year. Infact they had to close some of the black runs and I got burried in deep, deep powder and it took me half an hour to dig my way out so id probably say more powder than hokaido last year. Going again this weekend! たのしめ

PS I am at work now and have nothing to do but add comments to this forum, as ive done my 2 classes today, smoked some cigarettes read the paper and done all my emails already.

free time is: Beer, snowboard, chu-hi, pool, Auctions, "girlfriend time", beach, windsurfing (also called "watch the dead fish flaoting by" or "challenge to stay on the stick of salvation or risk the crazzy skin conditions and possible hair loss")

taco-yaki eating

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
