Tokai Kosen Foreign Students Ski Trip 2008:Day 1 and 2

It's my last year in Gifu, so i decided to go to this year's ski trip(having missed the last as i went to Europe last year) and it was pretty fun! The destination was the same again, at Norikura, Takayama. The first 2 pics are aint our destination but was a view from one of the bus service centres. Snow is quite little as you can see and it's mostly artificial anyways.
again, we went to the now-very-boring museum.


lee,soon,nok,aina,khalid and irfan
the karakuri (mechanical dolls)playing on the world's biggest taiko(japanese drums)
nok and i, she sure has changed from 2 years ago(backtrack to 2 years ago if u wanna find her pic then)
we then reached norikura, and after the usual boring briefings, we had a little free time and i went to catch the sunset. not too bad but nothing impressive that day.



the 2nd day. this was taken in the early morning after breakfast. we then went skiing. i obviously didn't bring my camera along with me then but i saw 2 teachers skiing and video camming which was just so damn cool. since there aren't any pics, u wont get to see me fall, quite a few times but i pretty much enjoyed it. it actually started raining that afternoon(telling u just how warm it was) and the slope was getting a little slippery. but we still managed to play and finish our afternoon 2 hour session.




meals!the girl on the left from suzuka kosen is damn hyper i tell you.
on the 3rd and final day, i didn't bother to ski. i just couldnt ignore the photography possibilities. i do have some nice pics and i'll post it up tomorrow or sometime soon :P
