Winter sonata?

Fukushima Ski Trip,
originally uploaded by marts.

It's not a sonata nor a soap opera. Not that the Winter Sonata soap opera haven't reached the Japan airwaves (it did!), but finally, after 2 years, I finally got to set foot on snow once again. It was especially exciting since we are with first timers and it's just soo amusing to see their excited faces the moment they saw all those snow piled up, their frustated faces when they can't get up after falling down on their butts with their skis, their contented look after all those meat they ate on the eat-all-you-can yakiniku dinner, their scared look when they are approaching the platform at the end of the lift, their shocked faces when they saw all those nude women (young and old) inside the public bath, and everything else.

There's still a next time and I'd be very glad to go on a trip again. Hoping to go with first timers once again.. and with a camera.
