  So a bunch of friends and I went to Mt. Naeba in Japan for a weekend of snowboarding except that this was an organised event for 200 snowboarders/skiiers.
  
  We coulda taken the shinkansen (bullet train) which woulda taken 1.5 hours but we decided to take the bus (which took 5 hours) that the organisers had chartered to ride with the rest of the 200 people. it was fun but we were dead tired by the time we got to Naeba.
  
  
  
  
  This was a pic taken on the bus. That's my friend's hat. And after I put it on, she told me it was artic fox on my head. I almost vomited and gave the fur hat back to her right away.
  
  
  
  That's us in the bus. Everybody spoke English (I guess coz the organisers were white and invited a lotta English speaking friends) and you just didn't feel like u were in japan.
  
  
  
  All covered up. Guess which is me!!
  
  
  
  Ok, that's me.
  
  
  
  What a beautiful day. Super blue skies. We went up to the summit coz we had heard the view was beautiful. HOWEVER, the only way down were black and red slopes. The red slopes were JAMPACKED with people and it wasn't like just one way down. it was like a narrow winding road all the way down for at least 20 min so there was literally a human traffic jam with people at corners waiting for the road to clear so they didn't run over the ones who fell over. We decided to go down the black slopes on our butts. We made it down alive. :)
  
  
  
  What a view. And I promise you, the real thing was 10 times more amazing than that. It sure took my breath away~
